As this journey gets underway, you’ll gain an understanding of trauma and its unique impact on highly sensitive individuals.

As Dr. Natasha sets the foundation for the weeks to come, she’ll guide you to explore the principles of mind-body medicine and psychoneuroimmunology.

Psychoneuroimmunology, or PNI, describes the close relationship between your immune, nervous, and endocrine systems. Previously, science had separated the mind and body, believing one did not influence the other. However, psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) proves otherwise and new research is showing that there is a substantial interaction between these three systems.

You’ll learn about the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit in the context of healing, and examine the concept of resilience.

In this opening module, you’ll explore:

• The nature of trauma and its specific impact on highly sensitive people
• The importance of a holistic approach to trauma recovery
• How sensitivity can be a strength in your healing process
• The importance of self-compassion and self-awareness
• Assessing your personal journey with the help of a Sensitivity Quiz
• A guided mindfulness meditation for grounding and body awareness

Dr. Fallahi will focus on the critical role nutrition plays in trauma recovery, emphasizing natural remedies and food-based practices.

You’ll learn about the impact of diet on stress and how specific nutrients can aid in healing. You’ll also discuss the importance of supporting adrenal response, balancing blood sugar, and managing inflammation through dietary choices.

As “The Sensitive Doctor,” Dr. Natasha’s approach to food and healing is to find what works for you — your body, your constitution, your goals, your mental health, and your lifestyle.

Getting rid of “trigger” foods that cause inflammation is always a priority. Once you find a baseline of foods that work well for you, you can tailor your diet to your body’s specific needs.

In this module, you’ll learn:

• The role of nutrition in managing stress and trauma recovery
• About key nutrients that support adrenal health
• How to balance blood sugar levels to reduce stress
• About anti-inflammatory foods and their benefits
• The impact of gut health on emotional wellbeing
• Practical strategies for incorporating healing foods into your daily life
• A guided exercise where you’ll practice reading labels and create a personalized nutrition plan focused on blood sugar and adrenal support

Fight! Flight! Freeze! Fawn!

While stressors aren’t always within our control, how the body responds to stress, to a large extent, is within our control. As Dr. Natasha will explain, your vagus nerve can alter your stress response, positively or negatively. The key is understanding how the vagus nerve works and the best ways to support it.

She’ll share techniques for regulating the autonomic nervous system, which plays a crucial role in the body’s stress response.

You’ll explore practices that activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and healing.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• The autonomic nervous system’s role in stress response
• Techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system for rest + repair
• The importance of breathwork and its impact on the nervous system
• How to use your mind to reduce tension in your body
• The role of vagal tone in emotional regulation
• Practical exercises to implement daily for nervous system regulation
• Guided vagal exercises featuring breathwork to activate the parasympathetic nervous system

Dr. Natasha will guide you in developing emotional regulation skills that are essential for trauma recovery.

You’ll learn various techniques to manage and process emotions, including cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and non-violent communication (NVC) concepts.

NVC is a method of empathetic conversation that focuses on understanding and meeting the needs of both the speaker and the listener.

As Dr. Natasha will explain, the language of NVC includes two parts: honestly expressing ourselves to others, and empathically hearing others. Both are expressed through four components: observations, feelings, needs, and requests.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• How to identify and label emotions accurately
• Cognitive-behavioral strategies for managing difficult emotions
• Mindfulness practices for emotional regulation
• How to develop a personalized emotional regulation toolkit
• How to refine the nonviolent communication techniques you’ll learn, connecting with your fellow participants in breakout room practice sessions

Dr. Natasha will guide you to explore comprehensive stress management strategies through your physical body.

The body’s physiological response to stress often appears as a series of changes that occur through nerve and hormonal signals. You’ll learn how somatic techniques can help manage stress by focusing on the body and its physical experiences.

Dr. Natasha will discuss the physiological and somatic aspects of stress and introduce techniques such as mind-body medicine, body-based exercises, and lifestyle modifications to reduce stress levels.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• The profound impact of stress on the body and mind
• Effective exercises to heal chronic mind-body disconnects
• Simple relaxation practices to incorporate into your daily life
• The role of physical activity in stress reduction
• How to create a stress management plan for your body
• The importance of movement for achieving balance
• How to release common areas of tension though a guided session of progressive muscle relaxation

Dr. Natasha will focus on energy medicine and its role in trauma recovery in this session.

She’ll cover a number of different energy healing practices you can explore and integrate into your healing journey including Reiki, acupuncture, and Qigong.

Through these practices, you’ll access the yin energy that focuses on receptivity, restoration, intuition, and creativity. It includes surrendering the mind and body, letting go of control, accepting influence and help from others, and being open to receiving love and care.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• An introduction to energy medicine and its benefits
• Different types of energy healing practices
• The role of subtle energy centers in trauma recovery
• Simple energy exercises for daily practice
• How to incorporate energy healing into a holistic recovery plan

In this final class session, you’ll learn how to integrate and sustain the practices you’ve learned throughout the course.

You’ll discuss the importance of creating a long-term healing plan and how to maintain progress. You’ll also have the opportunity to share experiences and insights you’ve gleaned from the course.

Dr. Natasha will explain the importance of integration in sustaining healing and share strategies for maintaining progress after the course concludes.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• The role of community and support networks in ongoing recovery
• Practical tips for continuing mind-body practices
• The importance of self-compassion and continuous self-awareness
• A guided reflection and sharing session to solidify learning and create a personalized long-term healing plan
