It’s also very useful for further personal use, and for the quality of the work I do with people. Having personal experience rocks. It was a truly potent experience and thank you all SO MUCH for making it possible!

SBSM taught me how incredibly important it is to stay connected to the body – not just emotionally, but also physically (I notice when I pay attention to my body I can avoid clumsiness and finely control my movements) and have became aware of how much trauma is still hiding in my body! This program also has allowed me to deal with irrational stress in the smallest scenarios by enlarging my capacity. I am starting to become less irritable.

I would like to say a big thank you to the SBSM team who has created a SAFE and welcoming environment for me to start exploring the stored trauma in my body and the intense emotions that come with it.

I really enjoyed the class. The work was very subtle but highly engaging with the after effects of increased physical presence, general relaxation and calmness being felt. My NS did take the cues and released some “less desirable” sensations later in the day but I knew I was storing some unresolved trauma which is why I took the class. So all-in-all a win for my healing!

Dear Irene and Seth, I wanted to express my gratitude to you both. The changes I’ve experienced between July ’22 and now is incredible. I felt so helpless and thought I’d never come out of the activation that kept me up pacing most nights unable to get much sleep because I was unable to lay in bed; barely eating during the day and rarely able to sit still. Fortunately I had completed some of the 21-Day Program and went back and committed to using those skills, but I knew I needed more and decided to take the plunge by signing up for SBSM. I’m s...

Dear Irene and Seth,
I wanted to express my gratitude to you both.
The changes I’ve experienced between July ’22 and now is incredible. I felt so helpless and thought I’d never come out of the activation that kept me up pacing most nights unable to get much sleep because I was unable to lay in bed; barely eating during the day and rarely able to sit still.
Fortunately I had completed some of the 21-Day Program and went back and committed to using those skills, but I knew I needed more and decided to take the plunge by signing up for SBSM. I’m so glad I did!
One of the best parts of your program is your presence, the boundaries you set and the ritual space you hold that allows for such a sense of safety.
I’ve learned the importance of taking it slow (which has been a challenge in the past) and that regulation will happen with regular attention.
You both have provided hope for me.
Thank you again for what you are offering to me and the world. I’ll forever be grateful!

I didn’t know (if) I would learn anything new with he 21 Day course because I watched almost every YouTube video from Irene… But I’m so happy I did the program, it really goes beyond and deeper than her vlogs (even though they are grand as well). It took me 6 months to finish 21 days (I know!) and I think I might just start again. Because I want to re-learn what I’ve learned, let it sink in that tiny bit deeper… Thank you so much for The Work!

I am so relieved to find some well researched information that explains what is underlying my decades of failing health. I agree that education is key, and so am absorbing as much of the material as I can. It is so well explained, understanding that this is incredibly nuanced and complex material. So grateful to have found it. And looking forward to feeling connected to myself and the world again.

The 21 Day course was a good basis for me to start with for a trauma-based therapy. I knew for some years (since I first heard about the polyvagal theory) that it would be THE THING for me, but somehow couldn’t make the connection. Now I know what it’s all about and what’s important to me in this therapy. Of course, like many others here, I have a long history and am now full of hope that things will really change.

Of course, like many others here, I have a long history and am now full of hope that things will really change. Some small “enlightenments” already happened during the course. Finally I have words for those moments and I actually believe that these are steps to healthy awareness, in fact, steps to enlightenment.

This is the course I didn’t realize I was looking for. Several years of trying a plethora of ‘healing’ modalities I didn’t realize what I needed was this course as a foundational basis to understand and judge those modalities as to whether they were correct for me. Whether you’re interested in doing this for the experience of the information to better understand the human state, I found it to be brilliant from both an informative and experiential place.

Although I have done more neurofeedback, bodywork and meditation practices than anyone I know, this 21-day tuneup program opened me to something even more fundamental: the ability to regulate my nervous system and clearing unconscious traumas and stress. As a result: other practices have improved and previously unresolved issues are clearing. It’s like a nervous system support team for 21 days, for the price of a few sessions in other modalities. Simply awesome, thorough, detailed and the comments with feedback are like a book I can...

What is taught here about nervous system healing is likely why you’re stuck. Learn what you can do about it to become unstuck. Free yourself with this material. Even if the only thing you learn is the Orienting…it’s worth it. But there’s far more to help support you on your healing journey. That’s what this course does better than any other I’ve encountered. It offers you all the support you need. And for people that have never had that? It makes all the difference. This has to be one of the best online cours...

This has to be one of the best online courses I’ve taken. You guys really thought of everything when creating it.
I feel it does a great job of teachings the fundamentals without overwhelming someone who’s never done this kind of thing before. You have a talent for teaching and ensuring the knowledge sticks so that people can actually use it to transform their lives.
It occurred to me just now that what you’ve done here is created support for people in as many ways as you could. This too makes it more likely that they will actually use what they learn. And it’s what people who have so much trauma need.
Matt
So simple yet so profound. I only did the lessons once and feel I can do them at least a few more times before it will all be “in place”. The exercises are simple, but life changing, even already in the few weeks that I have done them. Things come up I didn’t even realize were there. Hard things, but also a new and deeper connection to myself. I love it. Thank you for putting it out there.

Irene’s teachings are incredibly useful to practice for myself, they are really helping me to get a good regulated nervous system. I like so much the emerging “updated me!”
Silja
“Loved it. Still cannot get over how powerful this work is. Blows my mind almost every time. For me, I find it is incredibly spiritual, a pathway to the self, and I always leave with a deeper connection to myself as consciousness. I’m no longer in my head. I remember who I am.”
John
“I absolutely loved the Drop In Class. I really appreciate you Irene, for creating this space and guiding us through such powerful and potent practices.”
Johnathon
“I felt that the class was very helpful for me and learned about how working with my body is being present with how my body is reacting and then adjusting to help those reactions work themselves out instead of letting those reactions take control.”
Joanne
My first time and really enjoyed it. Especially useful in these current changing and unusual times. So important!

“At first I thought how boring it was following Irene’s instructions, but I did, and felt a connection to my body I have never experienced before. I never thought something so subtle can be so powerful I am new to Irene’s work and already a lot of childhood trauma has surfaced to be integrated, just by willing to heal.”

Overall I am feeling much more positive and improved ability to deal with stress has helped me sleep better after the 21 Day course Because of this, the internal tremor I experience at night is less intense. I have also noticed I am carrying less tension in my body. I have CFS and initially a lot of anxiety came up. I also felt exhausted but once I adjusted my pace and slowed right down, this eased and I experienced subtle shifts.

I have also noticed I am carrying less tension in my body. I have CFS and initially a lot of anxiety came up. I also felt exhausted but once I adjusted my pace and slowed right down, this eased and I experienced subtle shifts. I’m now working through the course a second time and incorporating the practices into my daily routine. Recently, my energy levels have improved very slightly, which is fantastic. When I started the course, my body felt like a lead weight but with all this buzzing energy trapped inside. This has reduced in intensity. I have high hopes that I will improve more if I continue to put into practice what I have learned.
My advice for others taking or thinking about taking this course is to persevere! Go with the flow, take one day at a time and you will start to notice subtle shifts.

I just want to thank you so much for having created this affordable course for us. In my case, I come from a very traumatic childhood and lived with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and anorexia for almost my whole life. I did not even know what those terms were until I turn 28 (I am 37 now). I went to therapy at the age of 34 and did 35 sessions. However, I could not get my life back after I was released, and that was a big disappointment for me because I just did not understand why. I felt fine on my last session and as soon as I had no se...

I felt fine on my last session and as soon as I had no sessions left, I felt even worse.
I don’t even remember how I found Irene Lyon, but since video one, I fully connected with her and understand every single word that she was saying. I signed up for her free videos, I took a lot of notes, and then I signed up for the 21 Day course. Many things got better. I got a job now. (After 2 years of being afraid to work).
I know that I have to work more on myself, her course helped me to start getting my life back together, especially with the job part. My anxiety has decreased at least 80% (to me that is a miracle). Depression is down at least 70%, and I am just paying attention to other things.
I loved the course. It helped me so much. I have nothing negative to say about it. I am just glad that I took it and I will repeat it. I strongly believe that if I can apply all on this course my healing will advance so much more. Thank you.

The 21 Day Tune-Up is a well structured course and I like that it’s a mixture of short and long exercises, this way it doesn’t overwhelm you. I know I can pause anytime, but the course is encouraging you to keep going. I absolutely loved it, it’s so informative and helpful. It has opened my eyes and has made sense to so many things I’ve been going through and experiencing lately. Now it’s time to fix and heal. I’m so grateful! ?

The 21 Day Course is helping to educate myself so that I can have actual exercises to slowly work with while I unthaw the self sabotage type shut down. This support is helping me not give up completely, because I know, based on all I’ve learned so far from Irene, that I both deserve this and can do it.

The 21 Day Course was very well done. I enjoyed Irene’s thorough training, very comprehensive explanations (English is my second language), fantastic graphics, not to mention her pleasant voice and pleasant friendly face. The course was A+++

This tuneup gave good basics so I can continue doing the work with myself. I think that it is very important part of healing; to attain the feeling that I am finally regaining strength to support myself. The key is of course, take the given information and exercises into everyday life and practise them regularly. But they are so simple and offering such a relief that they are fun to practice and vary them according to the day. The healing journey is probably long and requires patience, but for the first time in my life I have feeling that healing is possible and I have good tools to help myself forward, and that’s why it can be very rewarding journey also. Irene has such a skill in teaching and providing complex information in a very understandable form. Thank you so much!

I loved the course & learned so much. It is SO worth taking. Healing my nervous system was the missing link in my healing journey. I don’t feel broken or hopeless anymore. I feel deserving of healing and a calmness I never felt before. I feel tuned to my body for the very first time in my life and it feels amazing!

The tune-up course lessons are all very useful and all the content speaks to me 100%. Truly, this course and it’s lessons are for the people who are trying everything to help themselves, but nothing seems to work. With this course, I have began learning real things – techniques that work with my system since the first time I tried!

When I joined the 2021 SBSM course, I hoped to have a recovery that I could write about in a testimonial. I never guessed I’d submit one anonymously. Through SBSM I learned that decades of wearing down my nervous system set me up for an autoimmune disease and descent into more immune system dysfunctions. Shortly after the program started I noticed emerging signs of recovery, like disappearing anxiety attacks, improved blood sugar stabilization and such.

When I joined the 2021 SBSM course, I hoped to have a recovery that I could write about in a testimonial. I never guessed I’d submit one anonymously.
Through SBSM I learned that decades of wearing down my nervous system set me up for an autoimmune disease and descent into more immune system dysfunctions. Shortly after the program started I noticed emerging signs of recovery, like disappearing anxiety attacks, improved blood sugar stabilization and such. Until recently improvements were the kind I could openly celebrate. I recently realized a change both exciting and embarrassing that I never expected.
As a young child I remember my mom complaining about “acid bumps” which she said were caused by eating too many acid foods. She didn’t really know how she got them except that too many oranges, nuts and chocolate would cause blisters on her right butt cheek. When I went through a series of traumas in my 50’s I started getting them on the left butt cheek. My doctors never gave a diagnosis, until I did some research and asked point blank “is this herpes?” Well, yes ~ genital herpes, which I likely contracted through the birth canal. I believe my immune system was able to hold off attacks until accumulated trauma let the virus go wild.
For 10 years I worked at controlling it with lysine and monitoring intake of high arginine foods. With so many favorite foods I inevitably would slip and “bam” the painful blisters. They would also appear during times of heavy emotional stress or the physical contact stress of riding my horse. During the past 10 years, I had so many traumas and stresses that my poor bum was spotted with pink scars from all the blisters.
I started noticing slowly during SBSM that when I faltered on my regimen, I wasn’t getting blisters. Little by little I became more lax and eventually stopped lysine supplementation. I also began eating arginine foods more freely. Now 6 months later, without a regimen, all of the pink spots are healed. I am again enjoying eating nuts, oranges and chocolate! I want to tell everyone about this work and hope it will help others suffering from oral and genital herpes.
I know if my immune system is winning the battle with this virus, it’s also healing my autoimmune issues!
Thank you so very much for your work, for educating us all on trauma and helping us to become our own medicine. It is the hope for all the planet!
Sincerely,
