Enhancing Stability
Your Guide to Being a Force of Comfort and Resolution in Challenging Times
Our Enhancing Stability Program
When things change rapidly, it can be hard to find your footing, but if you experience a storm more like a mountain, then the shifting and destruction seem manageable. Recovery and renewal feel more possible. This is a short program in developing practices that make you feel like a mountain.
Once you sign up, you will find easily explained frameworks and practices that help you enhance your stability in times of change. They are based on the neuroscience of trauma healing, which teaches you to enhance your awareness, let go of old patterns, and form new connections.
You can return to any exercise or video as many times as you like.
You can decide what interests you and what benefits you most as your goals and needs evolve.
Each section has links so that you can learn more about self-focused trauma-informed leadership.

How do we recognize and respond to instability?
IN THIS LESSON
In order to know when we are operating on shaking ground, we have to first notice movement and its impact. This first video is an introduction to practices that will help you recognize instability and respond in an effective, stabilizing way.
Grounding
IN THIS LESSON
This is a meditative practice in nervous system regulation. It allows you to feel physically calm and centered, increasing blood flow and connections so that you are better able to serve as stable presence, for yourself and others.
In the Mirror
IN THIS LESSON
Neuroscience teaches us that occupying a witnessing position—observing our own experience and that of others—gives us a greater capacity to identify options, to collaborate effectively, and to be a source of recovery. This video describes a 1-minute exercise that you can do for three weeks to enhance your ability to be a witness.
Writing Meditations
IN THIS LESSON
Meditation also gives us access to the witnessing position and we can do this in multiple ways. In this video, we offer two writing meditation exercises that we use with students, colleagues, and clients who are working in challenging settings.
Why this works
IN THIS LESSON
We follow a transformative justice model inspired by the neuroscience of trauma healing. On a base level, we know that people want compassion and connection. They want, and deserve, love and stability. This desire is so profound that it moves us toward healing like gravity. Your stability serves as a model for others. In this video, we explain how to work with this as a foundation.
