Get unstuck.

Finally. Really.

Live without shame or fear. Actively feel and relieve your stuck trauma through somatic concepts and skills.

You're ready for emotional freedom.

You’re tired of living in shame, guilt, fear and panic. You’re tired of consuming trauma information from across the internet. You’re frustrated and ready to give up.

 

You want to live a life without dragging the emotional weight of trauma. You want to live with more freedom, self-compassion and confidence.


You’re ready to actively relieve your stuck traumatized state. You're ready for clarity, answers and direction without psychobabble.

Self-regulation made possible and practical.

Unstucking Defensive States is a simple and clear online trauma recovery course that teaches you how to self-regulate and actively relieve your trauma - without psychobabble. Clear concepts. Clear teachings. Clear guidance and practice.

UDS is not for everyone.

UDS is made for the stuck individual that has learned the Polyvagal Theory and developed some capacity to stay grounded in their safety state. UDS is for the person that needs the next step - how to use their capacity for curiosity and mindfulness to feel into and relieve their trauma.

UDS is not...

  • a repackaged webinar. UDS is an online course built on the Polyvagal Theory from the ground up.

  • the starting point for trauma recovery. UDS is the third phase of my Polyvagal Trauma Recovery System.

UDS is...

  • the next step after learning the Polyvagal Theory and building the strength of your safety state.

  • made for the person in trauma recovery, not professionals looking to build their skills (although they are welcome to be a part of UDS as well!).

  • lessons and practice focused on self-regulation.

Life after UDS.

After taking UDS, you will be able to actively and purposefully feel your stuck defensive state with curiosity. You will mindfully experience your inner world from your safety state, not a bystander going through the extremes of dysregulation.

100% focus on your stuckness.

UDS is about you. The real you that exists right here and right now. UDS does not use up any time or mental energy on abstract psychological ideas like “parts” or “shadows” or “ego”. UDS makes self-regulation practical and simple, built on the science and application of the Polyvagal Theory.

You're worried. (And that's okay.)

Is UDS worth the cost?

Heck yes it is.

  1. You get in-depth, clear teaching on how to relieve your trauma, with guided practices.

  2. UDS has a 14 day money-back guarantee (more below).

  3. You can schedule a no-pressure no-sales chat with me for free and I am happy to answer any concerns or questions you have about UDS.

Will UDS actually help?

I know you might be thinking that this is too good to believe. You might be worried about whether UDS is truly going to help. UDS is a self-regulation practice built on the effective teachings and techniques I already use with my Clients and for myself.

And just like you, I want you to be successful and get the relief you deserve. I believe in UDS so much that I offer a 14 day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee.

"MOST AMAZING THING EVER"

"This is THE MOST AMAZING THING ever! You have taken PVT and made it accessible to me in a way Steven Porges, Deb Dana, and Peter Levine haven't." -Beth

"revolutionary"

"Yes! This stuff is SO great! I love how you've laid it out, defined it all, and linked it together. I had no idea we could have such a great tool for this work. This really is revolutionary." -Rhys

"excellent stuff!"

"I am a Christian counselor working with trauma and especially sexual abuse. I have been for 16 years now, and am also [a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner], so this stuff makes sense to me... [UDS] is excellent stuff!" -UDS Beta Participant

"EXCELLENT"

"The pacing, the examples, and how you made it so the listener could use it right then and there. You also gave practical examples of pendulation and titration, and helped explain mixed states better through the illustrations, examples, and the way you use words to help people track their own states. EXCELLENT! REALLY!... THANK YOU!!!" -UDS Beta Participant

Trauma relief:
phase 3

You've learned the Polyvagal Theory and likely began to build the strength of your safety state. You're curious about what else is within you and how to get relief from your stuck defensive state.

That's where Unstucking Defensive States fits. UDS is the final phase of my Polyvagal Trauma Recovery System. It's part of the larger System, but is available a la carte if you know this is all you're missing in your recovery.

Meet your unstucking guide.

Hi, I'm Justin. I built UDS based on the needs of my clients, course students, and audience. It teaches the pieces of self-regulation and how to get unstuck.

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. In short, I'm a Polyvagal Nerd.
