About this class
This course is for you if you have experienced relationship trauma and your nervous system hasn't recovered from a stressful relationship.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in America, affecting over 40 million people. If you live with anxiety, you are clearly not alone. But how do you know whether what you are experiencing is anxiety or simply too much stress? How can you tell whether what you are feeling is a panic attack or something else?
Healing the nervous system after an abusive relationship is paramount to recovery, and understanding how your body responds to stress and trauma is a powerful first step toward regaining a sense of safety and control.

Feeling very empowered being part of this course. I feel quite hopeful that going through this training will be the last thing I need to take and keep the blinders off and close the door to this relationship once and for all. Knowledge is power and empowering!
This course is very good. Very clear and helpful. I see now that I didn't understand the subtle forms of controlling behavior. I love the title of this course! It really says it like it is. I have questioned what is normal and tried to deny my feelings, but eventually had to face reality. Thank you so much for validating my experience.
I am grateful for this course and am hoping to gain more perspective to provide me better coping skills and tools to grow and find joy in this challenging situation. It's a process, but I'm hopeful I can create a workable, peaceful relationship. I love my partner, and see his good qualities and the reasons he may have learned to be a subtle controller/abuser, but I also realize life is too short to live in such a stressful, unfulfilled state.
This has to be the best course I have taken, and I have taken a few. Avery's messages are very poignant.
I have complete faith that with the help of this course and work on myself, I will have a healthy relationship.
I feel at home for the first time in a long time. I don't feel crazy anymore. This is super eye opening for me. Last year I went on a self-discovery path. Started looking at toxic things in my life. I know this course will help continue my healing process. Doing the work is so humbling.
