If you’ve ever found yourself wondering “Why do I feel this way?” — or supporting clients who ask that question again and again — you’re not alone.

For many people, emotional reactions, patterns, and nervous system responses can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even shame-inducing. Without understanding what’s actually happening in the mind and body, people often assume something is wrong with them, rather than recognising that their responses are natural, protective, and human.

Why Do I Feel This Way was created to meet this gap.

The course was developed by therapists Josie and Andrea out of lived, clinical experience — after long days in the therapy room where they noticed something important. While holding space, listening deeply, and supporting healing is essential, many clients were missing the foundational education that helps everything else make sense.

Explaining the nervous system, trauma responses, the mind–body connection, and subconscious patterns is a crucial part of healing - but it takes time, care, and the right conditions for people to truly absorb it. Often, those conditions aren’t available within a single therapy session.

This course was created so that understanding could happen outside of the session ... gently, clearly, and at a pace that supports nervous system safety - allowing therapy and healing work to go deeper where it matters most.

In the Q&A below, Josie and Andrea share:

• Why they created the course

• How it supports both clients and practitioners

• How it stays within ethical, trauma-informed scope

• And why psychoeducation is such a critical (and often missing) foundation in healing work

Whether you’re considering this course for yourself, or as a practitioner looking to support your clients beyond the session, this conversation offers insight into the intention, care, and integrity behind Why Do I Feel This Way.

Why did you create ‘Why Do I Feel This Way?’ in the first place?
We created Why Do I Feel This Way after a day of working with clients, in one of those honest, end-of-day conversations where you reflect on what really matters in your work.
We both felt deeply that holding space, actively listening, and allowing clients to feel seen, heard, and understood is essential. Their stories matter. Their lived experiences deserve time and presence.
At the same time, we knew clients also needed solid psychoeducation, understanding the nervous system, limiting beliefs, trauma responses, and the mind body connection. These are the foundations of healing.

The problem was:
To give clients everything they deserved, sessions were becoming very long, or clients were leaving without receiving the full depth of information they deserve.

So we asked ourselves:
What if clients could receive this education in their own time, gently, clearly, and safely, so sessions could be used for deeper healing and more active listening. It benefits both the client and the practitioners. As practitioners, we found ourselves repeating the same foundational education over and over.

That question became this course.

What was missing in your sessions before your clients had this level of emotional and nervous system education?
Before our clients had access to this video series, what was missing in sessions was the time and space to properly explain all the foundational pieces that support healing.
So much of therapy and healing relies on understanding the nervous system, limiting beliefs, the mind-body connection, and how past experiences shape our perceptions, behaviours, reactions, and view of the world. All of this information is relevant, and clients deserve to understand it.

The challenge was that explaining even one topic often required explaining many others first. For example, to talk about a limiting belief, it felt important that clients first understood the subconscious mind. Or how someone’s emotional experiences are affecting them physically, and then we would need to go into explaining how emotional experiences aren’t just held in the mind, but in the body and the nervous system.

If someone came in with an unhelpful habit or repeated pattern, it didn’t feel right to address it without first explaining trauma, how it affects people differently, and how many behaviours are actually coping mechanisms rather than problems.

All of this education is an essential part of the therapeutic journey, but it can take many sessions to cover properly. Without it, clients were left without the full understanding they needed and a big part of sessions could be spent explaining rather than actually doing the deeper healing work.

The video series was created so clients could receive this education gently and clearly in their own time, allowing session time to be used for what truly needs to happen in the room, being heard, supported, and working at a deeper level.

What changed in your client sessions once clients understood their emotions and nervous system outside of session?
Because clients were learning in their own time, without feeling rushed, they came into sessions with a much clearer understanding of the key concepts around therapy and healing. They had the space to think, reflect, and properly absorb the information, rather than trying to take it in while sometimes emotionally activated, depending on what was going on for them on the day.

We noticed clients arrived more motivated and more engaged once they understood why they feel the way they do, how their nervous system works, and how past experiences can shape patterns, behaviours, and relationship dynamics.

That understanding became an essential part of the healing process. Clients felt more empowered when they had language for what was happening in their mind and body, and when their experiences were explained simply and without judgment.

It also meant sessions no longer needed to be filled with large amounts of education. Offering psychoeducation within a session needs to be done slowly and gently, making sure clients are well-resourced and grounded enough to take the information in. We don’t always have endless session time. If a client came in already dysregulated or carrying a lot, the last thing we wanted to do was overwhelm them with information.

Having this education available outside of session allowed appointment time to be used for regulation, support, processing, and deeper healing, exactly where holding space matters most.

Who is this course really for and who benefits the most from it?

 

This course is for everyone.

It is designed for practitioners and clients alike, but it also extends far beyond the therapy room. It is for mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, partners, friends, individuals and young people, for anyone having a human experience.

In particular, it is for those navigating emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, stress, or recurring patterns that feel confusing or overwhelming. The experiences explored in this course are universal, touching the very things most of us carry at some point in our lives.

At its heart, this course offers understanding, compassion, and practical insight for being human and exploring our inner world. 

Every human nervous system functions in the same fundamental way.
Every person experiences emotions, stress, survival responses, and meaning making through the body.
Understanding why we feel the way we do is not specialised knowledge, it is essential human knowledge that most people were never taught.

This course is for:
People who have struggled silently
People who think something is ‘wrong’ with them
People who want to understand their reactions, patterns, and inner world
People who want to live with more compassion toward themselves and others

We genuinely believe every single person in the world would benefit from this education.

A world where people understand their inner world is a world with:
• Less shame
• Less reactivity
• Less violence
• More compassion
• More capacity for connection

Who benefits most from this course?

 While this education is universal, it is especially powerful for:

• Clients who feel confused or overwhelmed by their emotions
  • People who’ve tried ‘thinking their way out’ of pain
  • Anyone who has internalised self blame for survival responses
  • Practitioners who want their clients to be supported beyond the session and want to save burnout from repeating a thorough and clear explanation of the mind, the subconscious mind and body.

But make no mistake:
This is human education, not just professional education.

How does this course support clients between sessions?
This course supports clients between sessions because it’s created in a very supportive, gentle way and gives them the time and space to absorb this important information at their own pace.

It also includes a resources section that clients can return to whenever they’re needing support with nervous system regulation. We’ve found that when clients understand why they feel the way they do, they’re far more motivated to engage with regulation tools rather than feeling frustrated or disconnected from them.

Having this knowledge, alongside practical resources, can bring a great sense of relief. Understanding what’s happening in their mind and body often helps clients feel less overwhelmed and more reassured between sessions, knowing their experiences make sense and that they have ways to support themselves until their next appointment.

What kinds of client questions does this course answer before they even walk into a session?
Do I have trauma?
What is the subconscious mind?
What role does my nervous system play in how I feel and react?
What is holistic therapy?
Why do I have unhelpful or harmful habits?
The headings of the video subjects offer some understanding of topics covered.

How does this reduce time spent explaining the basics in session?
This question has been answered throughout multiple sections above.

How does it allow practitioners to spend more time on actual healing, processing, or integration work?
This question has been answered throughout multiple sections above.

What difference does it make when clients arrive already resourced, informed, and self aware?
This question has been answered throughout multiple sections above.

How does this course help clients take more responsibility for their own healing journey?
This course helps clients take more responsibility for their own healing journey by giving them understanding, language, and practical support, not by placing responsibility on them to ‘fix’ themselves.

When clients understand why they feel the way they do, what their nervous system is responding to, and how past experiences can shape patterns, they feel less confused and less dependent on the session alone. That understanding builds confidence and agency.

The course also provides accessible resources that clients can use between sessions to support nervous system regulation. This encourages gentle daily habits and practices that help clients feel more settled, supported, and engaged in their own care, rather than relying solely on therapy appointments.

Importantly, responsibility here doesn’t mean pressure or self blame. It means clients feel informed enough to notice their patterns, respond with compassion, and participate actively in their healing. They begin to recognise when they need support, when to use the tools available to them, and how to bring greater awareness into sessions.

By combining understanding with practical resources, the course supports clients to become active participants in their healing journey, while still recognising that deeper therapeutic work is held within the safety of the therapeutic relationship.

WHY WOULD I NEED THIS?

‘I already explain emotions and the nervous system in my sessions, why would I need this?’
Even if you already explain these concepts, this course supports you with consistency, repetition, nervous system capacity, and scalability.

Consistency: clients receive the same clear, trauma informed foundational explanations every time, delivered in a calm and supportive way.
Repetition: these concepts often need to be revisited multiple times for clients to truly absorb them. The course allows clients to replay, pause, and return to the information as needed, without using up session time.
Nervous system capacity: many clients are emotionally activated in session. Taking in education while activated can be difficult. This course allows clients to learn in their own time, at their own pace, when they are more resourced.
Scalability: instead of repeating the same foundational education with every client across many sessions, the course holds that education for you, so your session time can be used for deeper processing and healing work.

(Answer: consistency, repetition, nervous system capacity, scalability)

‘Isn’t this replacing my role as a practitioner?’
No. This course is not therapy and it does not replace your role.

Therapy involves relationship, attunement, emotional processing, and practitioner-guided support. This course does not do that. There is no personalised therapeutic guidance, no intervention work, and no processing being facilitated inside the videos.

What it provides is understanding and language. It explains the nervous system, mind-body connection, patterns, and trauma concepts in a gentle, trauma-informed way so clients can make sense of what is happening without judgment.

The therapeutic work still happens in session, within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, guided by your expertise. The course supports therapy rather than replacing it.

(Clear distinction: education vs healing)

‘What if my clients feel overwhelmed by information?’
This is exactly why the course is delivered in a gentle, trauma-informed way.

Clients can go at their own pace. They can pause, take breaks, rewatch, and engage only when they feel grounded enough to take the information in.

This supports nervous system safety because it removes the pressure of learning complex concepts during a session when a client may already be dysregulated or carrying a lot.

It’s designed to feel supportive, accessible, and empowering, rather than overwhelming or exposing.

(Trauma aware pacing, accessibility, gentle education)

‘Is this appropriate for trauma informed work?’
Yes. The course is intentionally positioned as psychoeducation, not trauma processing.

It does not ask clients to revisit, relive, or process traumatic experiences. It does not encourage emotional exploration or therapeutic techniques without support. It focuses on understanding, normalisation, and self compassion.

The course also encourages ongoing professional support and reminds viewers to seek help when needed. The regulation tools included are stabilising and grounding, designed to support safety and self regulation rather than emotional release or deep exploration.

This keeps it within ethical, trauma informed scope while supporting therapy.

‘What if I work with different modalities, will this still apply?’
Yes. The concepts are foundational and human, not modality specific.

Understanding the nervous system, mind body connection, emotional patterns, trauma responses, and coping behaviours supports counselling, psychotherapy, coaching, somatic approaches, and many holistic or integrative modalities.

The course is designed to be flexible. Practitioners can recommend the whole series, specific videos aligned with what is coming up in sessions, or simply direct clients to the resources section for between session support.

It complements your modality rather than competing with it.

‘Do my clients need to be ready for this course?’
The course is purely psychoeducational. It does not ask clients to process emotions, revisit traumatic experiences, or apply therapeutic techniques on their own. There is no personalised advice, no diagnosis, and no attempt to replace the role of a practitioner. The focus is on understanding, not intervention.

All content is delivered in a trauma informed way, slowly, gently, and without judgement. We are mindful that people come to this information with different nervous system capacities, so the language is normalising and supportive, and clients are encouraged to pause, take breaks, and engage only at a pace that feels safe for them.

We also clearly encourage ongoing professional support. The course is positioned as something that supports therapy, not something that replaces it. We advise reaching out to a professional time and again in the video where deeper work is needed, and that that work is always held within the safety of a therapeutic relationship.

Finally, the inclusion of nervous system regulation tools is done with care. These resources are grounding and stabilising, designed to support safety and self regulation rather than emotional release or exploration.

By maintaining clear boundaries, prioritising safety, and staying within psychoeducation rather than therapy, the course remains ethically sound and trauma informed while genuinely supporting both clients and practitioners.

What makes this course different from free psychoeducation content online?
The reason this course is different from other psychoeducation content online is that it brings together all of the key concepts that are foundational to therapy, healing, and understanding why we feel the way we do.

It covers the mind body connection, the nervous system, emotional patterns, trauma and generational trauma, and the impact of past experiences, all of the pieces we believe are essential for the therapeutic journey. Before creating this course, we found ourselves pulling bits of information from many different places just to try and give clients clear explanations and supportive resources. That approach was fragmented and often overwhelming for both clients and practitioners.

So we chose to bring everything together in one place, a complete, cohesive series of videos that clients can move through in their own time. The content is delivered with incredible care, using a trauma informed approach that prioritises safety, gentleness, and empowerment. This allows people to receive the information they deserve without feeling overwhelmed or exposed.

We wanted to create this ourselves so we could be confident it was safe to offer to clients. It provides the foundations clients need, while still leaving room for practitioners to expand on these concepts within sessions as appropriate.

Ultimately, this course reflects what we consistently hear from therapists and practitioners. These are the concepts they return to again and again because they are the most meaningful, supportive, and relevant for healing.

How does this course deepen, rather than dilute, the therapeutic or healing container?
This course doesn’t dilute the therapeutic or healing container, it deepens it.

We’ve found that when clients are informed and empowered, they feel more confident in the therapeutic process. That confidence often leads to greater commitment and enthusiasm, particularly when it comes to engaging with nervous system regulation tools and creating supportive daily habits.

Sessions themselves are also deepened. There is more space to truly hold clients, to allow them to feel seen, heard, and understood, rather than needing to spend large portions of the session explaining concepts. With the education already in place, there is time to process emotions, work through issues, and integrate experiences in a way that supports meaningful healing.

The education doesn’t replace the therapeutic work, it strengthens it by creating a solid foundation that allows the work in session to go deeper.

Why is psychoeducation such a critical missing piece in healing work?
Psychoeducation is such a critical missing piece in healing work because without understanding, people often blame themselves for responses that are actually natural, protective, and human.

When clients don’t understand their nervous system, the mind body connection, or how past and generational experiences shape patterns and behaviours, they can feel confused, ashamed, or broken. Healing then becomes much harder, because people are trying to change or ‘fix’ themselves without understanding what’s actually happening within them.

We’ve found that understanding is an essential part of the healing process. When clients understand why they feel the way they do, it brings relief. It helps them make sense of their emotions, reactions, and behaviours, and it reduces fear and self judgement. That understanding creates safety in the body, which is necessary for any deeper therapeutic work to take place.

Clients feel more empowered, more engaged, and more committed to their healing, because they understand what’s happening and why the work matters.

In this way, psychoeducation doesn’t replace healing work, it creates the foundation that makes healing safer, deeper, and more effective.

What have you personally noticed about client outcomes when education and healing are combined?
We have found that when clients are informed and understand what’s happening for them, the therapeutic relationship becomes ‘safer’ and smoother.

We’ve noticed that sessions become far more effective because the time together can be used for deeper healing and emotional processing, rather than spending large portions of the session explaining concepts. Clients are able to lean into the session more and it offers practitioners confidence knowing the client already has the understanding and resources they need.

As a result, we consistently see greater confidence, empowerment, and a sense of relief in clients. Many clients share that they want their loved ones to watch the videos too, because the series offers language and insight that helps others understand what they’re experiencing. Being able to share this understanding with partners, family members, or friends is incredibly supportive for clients, especially when the people around them can better understand why they feel the way they do.

We also find that clients are more open in sessions because they feel safer. Being informed reduces fear and self-judgement, which strengthens trust within the therapeutic relationship. Clients often feel extra supported, knowing their practitioner has provided them with education as well as space to heal.

It’s important to be clear that this video series does not provide therapy or healing on its own. The therapeutic work happens within the session, guided by the practitioner’s expertise. The purpose of this course is to offer insight, understanding, empowerment, and relief, all of which support more effective therapeutic outcomes.

PRACTITIONER LICENCE QUESTIONS

How do practitioners actually use this course with their clients?
There are no strict rules around how practitioners use this course with their clients. Once a practitioner purchases the video series for $249, they also receive five client access links at no additional cost. These links can be shared with up to five different clients.

Practitioners can use the course in whatever way best supports their work and their clients. Some may suggest that a new or existing client watches the full series in their own time and at their own pace. Others may recommend specific videos to align with what’s coming up in sessions, for example, watching the nervous system video one week, and a video on the subconscious mind the next.

For clients who have already been in therapy for some time, practitioners may simply direct them to the resources section, so they have practical tools to use at home for nervous system regulation between sessions.

The course is designed to be flexible, allowing practitioners to integrate it naturally into their existing approach, rather than having to follow a set structure.

Can practitioners integrate this into their existing offers without changing their modality or business model?
Practitioners can easily integrate this course into their existing offers without changing their modality or business model. It’s designed to sit alongside therapeutic work as a supportive educational resource, not to alter or replace it.

The content does not contradict, interfere with, or compromise the therapeutic process in any way. Instead, it supports the therapy journey by giving clients a clearer understanding of what’s happening for them, which strengthens the work being done in session.

This course is there to support, enhance, and complement existing practice, not to change how practitioners work.

How does offering this course increase perceived value for clients?
This course increases perceived value for clients because it reflects care, integrity, and a genuine commitment from the practitioner to support the client as fully as possible. Clients often recognise that their practitioner is going the extra mile by providing resources that extend beyond the session itself.

As therapists ourselves, we might choose to cover the cost of additional access links for our clients as part of the care we offer. Other practitioners may prefer to incorporate the $18 per client link into their overall session fee or service structure in a way that feels appropriate for their practice.

Either way, clients experience this as added support rather than an extra cost. It is something that enhances their therapeutic journey and helps them feel well-held between sessions and throughout their healing journey.

How does it support boundaries and reduce emotional labour for practitioners?
This course supports boundaries and reduces emotional labour for practitioners because it means we don’t have to hold everything inside the session anymore.

So much emotional labour in therapy comes from repeatedly explaining the same foundational concepts, why emotions show up, how the nervous system works, why patterns exist, and why people aren’t ‘broken’. Doing this over and over takes time, energy, and presence, especially when clients are already overwhelmed or dysregulated. This can be a lot for a practitioner to go through with every client ongoing.

Having this course available means that education doesn’t need to be carried solely by the practitioner. Clients can receive the information in their own time, in a calm and supportive way, rather than needing it all explained while they’re emotionally activated. This protects both the client and the practitioner.

It also helps with boundaries because clients feel supported between sessions without needing constant reassurance, long explanations, or extra contact outside of appointments. They have somewhere safe to return to for understanding and resources, which reduces dependency and the pressure on the practitioner to be everything for the client.

Knowing that clients are informed, resourced, and supported allows practitioners to show up to sessions more present and grounded, rather than depleted. The work becomes more sustainable, more contained, and more ethical for everyone involved.

ETHICS, SAFETY AND SCOPE 

Is this course therapy? Why or why not?
This course is not therapy. It is a supportive psychoeducational resource designed to sit alongside therapeutic work and support both the client and the practitioner.

Therapy involves relationship, attunement, emotional processing, and guidance from a trained practitioner. This course does not do that. There is no emotional processing, no personalised therapeutic advice, and no intervention work taking place within the videos.

What the course offers is understanding. It explains how the mind and body work together, how the nervous system responds to experiences, and why certain patterns, emotions, or reactions can develop over time. This information is delivered in a trauma informed, supportive way so clients can make sense of what’s happening for them without feeling overwhelmed or judged.

The course also includes a practical toolkit of nervous system regulation resources that clients can use between sessions. These are supportive strategies, not therapeutic interventions. They are designed to help clients feel empowered and resourced, not to replace the role of a practitioner.

By providing education and gentle tools, the course supports the therapeutic process rather than replacing it. It helps clients feel informed and reassured, and it helps practitioners by ensuring clients have a solid understanding and appropriate support outside of sessions. The healing and therapy itself still happens within the therapeutic relationship, guided by the practitioner’s expertise.

How do you ensure this course stays within ethical, trauma-informed scope?
We ensure this course stays within ethical, trauma-informed scope by being very intentional about what it is and just as importantly, what it is not.

The course is purely psychoeducational. It does not ask clients to process emotions, revisit traumatic experiences, or apply therapeutic techniques on their own. There is no personalised advice, no diagnosis, and no attempt to replace the role of a practitioner. The focus is on understanding, not intervention.

All content is delivered in a trauma-informed way, slowly, gently, and without judgement. We are mindful that people come to this information with different nervous system capacities, so the language is normalising and supportive, and clients are encouraged to pause, take breaks, and engage only at a pace that feels safe for them.

We also clearly encourage ongoing professional support. The course is positioned as something that supports therapy, not something that replaces it. We advise reaching out to a professional time and again in the video where deeper work is needed, and that the work is always held within the safety of a therapeutic relationship.

Finally, the inclusion of nervous system regulation tools is done with care. These resources are grounding and stabilising, designed to support safety and self-regulation rather than emotional release or exploration.

By maintaining clear boundaries, prioritising safety, and staying within psychoeducation rather than therapy, the course remains ethically sound and trauma-informed while genuinely supporting both clients and practitioners.

How does this course actually support therapeutic safety rather than bypass it?
This course does not encourage clients to bypass therapy or replace their work with a practitioner. In fact, we’ve found the opposite to be true.

The video series provides understanding and reassurance, but it does not offer therapy, emotional processing, or personalised guidance. Because of this, clients don’t experience it as a substitute for sessions. Instead, it helps them better understand why therapy is needed and how it supports their healing.

When clients watch the videos, they often become more motivated to show up to therapy. Understanding their nervous system, patterns, and emotional responses helps them see the value of having a trained practitioner to hold the therapeutic process. The videos answer the 'why do I feel this way?' questions, but the 'what do I do with this?' work still happens in session.

Rather than creating independence from therapy, the course tends to increase engagement. Clients come to sessions more informed, more open, and more ready to work. They feel safer, less ashamed, and more trusting of the process, which strengthens the therapeutic relationship rather than weakening it.

The course is designed to support therapy, not replace it. It creates a solid foundation so that when clients arrive for their sessions, the time together can be used for the deeper healing, processing, and integration that only happens within a therapeutic relationship.

For practitioners, this means the videos act as an ally to their work, helping clients feel prepared, supported, and committed, not as something that pulls clients away from therapy.

What would you say to practitioners who are cautious about anything educational around trauma?
The trauma education within this course is designed to be safe, supportive, and firmly within a trauma-informed scope.

The content does not ask people to revisit, relive, or process traumatic experiences. There is no emotional exploration or therapeutic work taking place within the videos. Instead, the focus is on understanding, explaining what trauma is, how it can affect the nervous system, and why people can experience different responses, all delivered in a gentle and accessible way.

Throughout the course, we consistently encourage people to reach out to a qualified professional for support when needed. We are very clear that this content does not replace therapy or professional care. Helpline numbers and support options are provided, and viewers are regularly reminded to seek help if they are feeling overwhelmed or need additional support.

Before the trauma-focused video, we provide a clear content warning so people know what’s coming. This allows viewers to make an informed choice about when and how they engage with the material. They are encouraged to watch it only when they feel grounded, and to consider watching with a trusted loved one or alongside professional support if that feels safer for them.

The information is delivered slowly and carefully, with an emphasis on normalisation, self-compassion, and nervous system safety. People are encouraged to pause, take breaks, and engage at their own pace.

By prioritising choice, pacing, clear boundaries, and ongoing encouragement of professional support, the course offers trauma education in a way that supports safety and understanding, without replacing or bypassing therapeutic care.

How much time does it take for a client to move through the course?
The video series includes 16 videos, each averaging around 10 to 15 minutes in length. How long it takes for a client to move through the course really depends on the individual and how they choose to engage with it.

Some practitioners may like to guide clients by suggesting one video a day, a couple of videos a week, or focusing on specific topics that align with what’s coming up in therapy. Others prefer to simply offer the series and allow the client to explore it in a way that feels right for them.

We’ve found that the most supportive approach is to give the videos to clients and encourage them to watch at their own pace, checking in with how it feels for them. Autonomy is important. Clients are best placed to know when they’re ready to take in certain information.

The course is designed to be flexible, self paced, and supportive, allowing clients to absorb the content gradually rather than feeling rushed or pressured to complete it in a particular way.

How does this save practitioners time and energy long term?
This course saves practitioners time and energy long term by carrying much of the foundational education that would otherwise need to be repeated across multiple sessions. Clients arrive more informed, resourced, and prepared, allowing session time to be used for deeper therapeutic work rather than ongoing explanation.

It also reduces emotional labour by supporting clients between sessions with clear psychoeducation, resulting in smoother, more focused sessions without practitioners needing to repeat the same key concepts over and over.

How does this course pay for itself in a practitioner’s business?
(Retention, readiness, session quality, referrals)
When clients are informed and prepared, the quality of sessions increases. This leads to deeper, more effective sessions, which clients feel and value.

This course not only saves lengthy session times. It can also enhance a practitioner’s reputation. Clients often experience it as next level care, a sign that their practitioner goes the extra mile and genuinely invests in their wellbeing beyond the session. That level of care builds trust, loyalty, and often leads to word of mouth referrals.

From a practical perspective, the cost of providing a client access link is very affordable and easy to weave into a session fee if a practitioner chooses. Many practitioners also choose to absorb the cost themselves because the return is significant: smoother sessions, less repetition, reduced emotional fatigue, and greater sustainability in their work.

Ultimately, the course supports practitioner energy and prevents burnout. Saving time, reducing emotional labour, and improving session quality all contribute to a more sustainable practice, which is where the real long term value lies.

Why is this such a small investment for the level of value it provides?
This course is a small investment because we genuinely believe everyone deserves access to this information. Understanding why we feel the way we do has the power to reduce shame, increase compassion, and create a more peaceful world, both within individuals and between people.

It was created by two therapists who felt a deep responsibility to offer the level of care we believed our clients deserved. It came from necessity, to support clients properly, to prevent practitioner burnout, and to ensure we could show up fully present rather than stretched thin or depleted.

Now, we want to share this resource beyond our own therapy rooms. We want other practitioners to be able to offer it to their clients, and for individuals to access it when they need clarity, reassurance, and understanding about what’s happening within them.

The value of this course isn’t in how much it costs. It’s in how many people it can support, and how deeply it can change the way people relate to themselves.

If a practitioner could only offer one educational resource to their clients, why should it be this one?
A practitioner may choose this educational resource over others because it was created by two professional therapists with lived experience of working one to one with clients, week after week.

This course was originally created out of necessity. We knew firsthand what was missing in the resources available to support clients, because we were constantly searching for something we could confidently recommend. We looked extensively for an educational resource that covered all the foundational concepts of therapy and healing in one place, and we couldn’t find anything that truly met that need. We could only ever find bits and pieces here and there. So we created it ourselves, so we had a complete information pack with resources.

Because we are trauma informed therapists, the course is delivered with great care. The language is client friendly, easy to understand, and designed to feel safe and supportive rather than overwhelming. The content is broken into bite sized modules so clients can absorb the information gradually and at their own pace.

Another key difference is the inclusion of a dedicated resources section. Before this course existed, we found ourselves gathering nervous system regulation tools from many different places. We couldn’t find a single, complete educational pack that combined clear psychoeducation with a practical toolkit clients could use between sessions. This course brings both together in one place.

The series is also designed to be easy to access and integrate into daily life. Clients can keep it on an app on their phone, listen while doing things around the house, or sit down and watch with a cup of tea or whatever feels most supportive for them.

Ultimately, this course is everything we wished we had when working with clients. It’s created from real practitioner experience, covers what we believe is essential for the therapeutic and healing journey, and offers a level of care and safety that we simply couldn’t find elsewhere.

What would you say to a practitioner who feels stretched, over explaining, or repeating themselves session after session?
You don’t have to carry all of the education inside the session.

If you’re feeling stretched, over-explaining, or repeating the same concepts week after week, it’s not because you’re doing something wrong. With this course, you can offer clients support beyond the therapy session.

This course takes the pressure off by holding the foundational education for you, so your time and energy can be used for the deeper work that only you can do.

What kind of practitioner will get the most out of this course?
This course is valuable for all practitioners because every person and every client deserves this foundational understanding. The concepts covered aren’t niche or modality specific, they’re human fundamentals.

Practitioners who work with somatic approaches, the subconscious mind, or body based therapies may find it especially supportive, as these areas often require repeated explanation of the mind body connection and the nervous system. Having this education in place allows sessions to go deeper more quickly.

At the same time, the course is just as useful across all modalities, including coaching, counselling, and energy based work.

Ultimately, this course isn’t about fitting a particular style of practice. It’s about offering clients the understanding they deserve and supporting the practitioner to save their energy for the therapeutic work.

What’s the real cost of not giving clients this level of understanding?
We found that when a client could only attend a small number of sessions, they often missed out on key information that could have made a real difference to their healing journey. Without that understanding, many clients continued to struggle, simply because they didn’t have the full picture of what was happening for them.

Offering only part of the information, or trying to explain complex concepts quickly within a session, sometimes felt more confusing than helpful. Rushed explanations can leave clients unsure or overwhelmed, rather than supported. We knew that this kind of understanding needs time, space, and careful delivery to be truly helpful.

The reality is that sessions don’t always allow for that level of education. When time is limited, clients can miss out on life-changing insight about how their mind, body, and nervous system respond to the world around them.

At the same time, practitioners can be left trying to carry all of this education within every session, which over time can lead to fatigue and burnout. Creating a way to offer this information fully and properly, without rushing or overloading sessions, supports both clients and practitioners in a more sustainable way.
