meet your guide.

Hi, I'm Justin. I built S2S based on the needs of my clients, course students, and audience. To put it simply, they have a lot of shutdown.

I delved deeply into the Polyvagal Theory to enhance my therapy outcomes for heavily traumatized clients. Now, I specialize in trauma therapy with somatic techniques and a strong grasp of the theory. I've taught it globally through my podcast and directly to teachers, social workers, police, therapists, and more. I'm a member of the Polyvagal Institute's Editorial Board and the author of the Stuck Not Broken book series.

In short, I'm a Polyvagal Nerd.

I am amazed by what I have gained from the course in such a short time... Justin takes difficult concepts, breaks them down, and makes them accessible for someone in a shutdown state... My confidence and capacity to sit with [shutdown] has grown, leading to periods of real stillness and peace. I also feel more confident about what to do when something else, like anxiety, arises.. My shutdown doesn't feel so solid anymore - I feel it melting as a result of completing the course and practicing the techniques daily.
