*Your Calm Code* is my self-help program that guides you in creating:
👍 Your own personalized calming strategies that actually work for your body and brain
👍 A repeatable Coping Ahead Plan you can turn to when you’re freaking out, shutting down, or expecting the worst
👍 A way to handle intense emotions without over-apologizing or getting stuck in them
It’s DBT-informed and built from real clinical practice, simplified and made personal for you.
*DBT is a research-backed approach originally created to help people who feel their emotions very intensely
Your Calm Code takes the most helpful parts of DBT and helps you customize them to your nervous system, your personality, your life.
*Your Calm Code* is about making your emotional world feel knowable and navigable, not chaotic.
So when a big feeling hits, you’re not scared of it.
You’ll know what you can do to take care of your feelings without losing yourself.
You can become someone who can:
💛 Feel hurt and not let it take over your whole night
💛 Cry while staying connected to yourself
💛 Have boundaries without blowing up your friendships
_“You helped me more than my therapist has. You actually gave me coping skills that work.” — Makayla_
You and your emotions are not “too much.”You just deserve support that doesn't leave you overwhelmed, ashamed, or alone with your feelings.
I’d love to show you how in *Your Calm Code*
