Feel Without Fear (2025)

• Being in your body — embodied — so you can live in your Authenticity.
• Understanding Complex PTSD patterns on a deeper level so CPTSD isn’t running the show in your life.
• Strengthening your awareness and curiosity muscles because this is how you find the Truth underneath the stories that the voices in your head are telling you.
• Accepting that having a human experience means there will always be pain and you can learn to feel your way through instead of living in resistance and suffering.
• Taking radical responsibility for yourself and using your agency to make conscious choices that align with the life you desire to create.
• Working with your Parts so they can feel safe trusting YOU.
• Meeting your body in a whole new way, without judgment, without pathologizing, without suppressing, without FEAR.
• Developing conscious, safe, reciprocal relationships and community.
• Just living your magical and mundane human life… without being on a “Trauma-Healing Hamster Wheel.”

FEEL WITHOUT FEAR is truly a signature program.

I can guarantee there’s nothing else like it in the world because it’s essentially my own healing journey in course form.

• 8 in-depth workshops or masterclasses. You’ll start with two workshop replays: Nervous System 101, and Thawing The Freeze Response. Then, we’ll have 6 live workshops, exclusive to Feel Without Fear.
• 8 in-depth group coaching calls for practical application, questions, curiosity, awareness, and support from me and the other FWF students + homework so you can integrate what you’re learning as we go.
• 1 final Integration Ceremony where you will be witnessed and practice embodying the emotions you learn to fearlessly feel.

Workshop 1 (replay): NERVOUS SYSTEM 101

Understanding the Nervous System:

• Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) controls involuntary functions.
• Two branches:
  • Sympathetic (SNS) – “Fight or Flight.”
  • Parasympathetic (PNS) – “Rest and Digest.”
• Polyvagal Theory adds the Social Engagement System (SES) for connection.

Effects of Nervous System Dysregulation:

• Physical: Fatigue, digestive issues, autoimmune conditions.
• Mental/Emotional: Anxiety, depression, brain fog, emotional instability.
• Trauma Responses: Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn.

Healing a Dysregulated Nervous System:

1. Awareness & Consciousness – Recognizing patterns and emotional triggers.
2. Reducing Lifestyle Inflammation – Removing chronic stressors and prioritizing rest.
3. Reducing Brain Inflammation – Improving diet, reducing stress, balancing gut health.
4. Nervous System Regulation – Co-regulation, mindfulness, deep breathing, movement.

Workshop 2 (replay): THAWING THE FREEZE RESPONSE

• The Freeze Response: Described as a survival mechanism when neither fight nor flight is an option.
• Polyvagal Theory: Explains how the nervous system shifts between different states of activation and shutdown.
• Window of Tolerance: Covers hyperarousal, hypoarousal, and the ideal regulated state for functioning.
• Judgment & Shame: Examines how freeze is linked to judgment and shame, affecting nervous system responses.
• Co-Regulation: Highlights the role of safe social connections in supporting nervous system healing.
• Mobilization Strategies: Discusses movement, breathwork, and expressive actions to shift out of freeze.

Workshop 3 (live event): WAKE UP

A willingness to practice awareness is such a key component to my work that I have never taught a workshop, class, or group without talking about it and without inviting clients to get curious about themselves.

Before we can FEEL WITHOUT FEAR, we have to become aware of what we’re feeling and why we’re so afraid of feeling it.

We have to become aware of how we judge what we feel and how we try to fix, micromanage, get rid of, and pathologize how we feel.

Awareness is about noticing with curiosity…

Noticing with curiosity… 

• what you’re feeling
• what you’re thinking about what you’re feeling
• what your typical reactions are to what you feel 
• when you’re feeling health anxiety or any anxiety
• what triggers you
• what the voice(s) in your head say or catastrophize about how you feel
• what’s inside and outside your window of tolerance
• when you’re exercising your self-responsibility and agency and when you’re not
• when we’re still operating under the conditioning that taught us to fear and pathologize our own body’s sensations
• different parts of you that are wounded, stuck, and afraid
• your resistance
• how you might be operating in “healing journey perfectionism”

In WAKE UP, we’re going to explore it all so you can get a clearer picture of the concept of awareness.

And, we’re going to practice noticing all of the above PLUS learn…

• what conscious awareness actually is
• why awareness is like a muscle that must be strengthened
• why the spiritual aspect of our being is necessary and must be integrated into our Selves
• why spirituality has NOTHING to do with organized religion and you don’t have to go to church, read any particular books, etc.
• how awareness creates the perfect conditions in our brains for neuroplasticity
• how to notice when awareness becomes over-thinking and hypervigilance
• how we can practice awareness and notice with curiosity, and how to notice our own Inner Critic or Inner Judge
• the role of awareness in healing Complex PTSD – I’ll be teaching more about C-PTSD in this workshop than any other workshop
• why we’re not trying to regulate our way out of being humans and how to have acceptance for that
• why what we FEEL actually isn’t the problem and what creates our suffering
• how we can become aware of the positive things we feel and experience, too, and why those have just as much importance as the “negative” stuff
• some neutral questions we can use to practice curiosity instead of judgment and self-shaming
• what the voice or voices in your head actually are and why they aren’t always reliable sources of fact or Truth
• my particular version of parts work that I use with all of my 1:1 clients
• my 4-step process for how to feel your feelings, work through a trigger, and find safety within yourself

Workshop 4 (live event): UN-TRIGGERED

In his book The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk writes, “The bottom line is that the threat-perception system of the brain has changed, and people’s physical reactions are dictated by the imprint of the past.”

I will hold you in a safe and loving container to explore your own reactions that are dictated by the past. 

We’re going to dive deep into the controversial topic of triggers through the lens of the limbic brain and autonomic nervous system.

In UN-TRIGGERED, you will learn…

• how to be aware of when we’re triggered
• what’s going on in our limbic systems (survival brain) when we’re triggered
• why your brain and nervous system don’t know that what triggers you is actually in the past, and you’re just reacting in the present moment
• all 4 trauma responses, their unconscious reactions, and how to make conscious choices when you meet those trauma responses with awareness
• why literally anything has the potential to be a trigger
• changing how we relate to our sensations and to our bodies, whether you lean more toward “hypoaroused” or “hyperaroused”
• primary and secondary nervous system states
• the differences between healthy nervous system responses and dysregulated responses
• how our triggers can lead us into deeper self-love, self-trust, and consciousness if we allow them to
• the difference between being dysregulated and being triggered
• what I personally believe about trigger warnings on social media

Workshop 5 (live event): OVERCOMING HEALTH ANXIETY

It’s such a startling thing to think about health anxiety as literally being afraid of your own body, to never feel safe within yourself is such a space of profound grief.

I, too, spent many years afraid of my own body. Every new sensation, noise, ache, twinge, and symptom brought up so much fear and dread.

Many with health anxiety are afraid of death. Me? I was afraid of “the healing journey”. I was afraid that each new sensation/symptom meant I had to fix it.

So that I didn’t have to feel it anymore.

So that I wouldn’t be afraid. 

So that I could be “healed” (whatever that means). 

So that I could finally live my life.

Yes, I put my life on hold for years while I was on the Hamster Wheel of Wellness, trying to fix and control everything my body did.

In OVERCOMING HEALTH ANXIETY, we will…

• explore why it’s not your fault that you feel terrified of your own body and its sensations
• talk about the 2 forms of dissociation that express in health anxiety
• discuss the one thing people with health anxiety are seeking — certainty — and how to cultivate self-trust instead
• answer the burning question every person with health anxiety asks which is: “BUT WHAT IF THERE’S SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH ME?”
• learn why feeling without fear changes the energy with which we approach our own healthcare
• breakdown how we can practice awareness and curiosity when we’re in a health anxiety trigger
• begin to move out of resistance and fear of our bodies and move into acceptance and surrender of whatever is present
• discuss what it actually means to “listen to your body”
• bring awareness to how our cognitively-driven culture reinforces disconnection from and fear of our bodies and sensation
• learn about why it’s scary for people with health anxiety, and how to gently widen your window of tolerance to hold uncomfortable sensations
• get curious about the voices in our heads and all the crazy, but believable stories they tell us about our bodies
• re-orient to experiencing our bodies through pleasure instead of only through pain and why long-term, pleasure has the ability to change your physiology
• learn how to “talk back” to your body when you’re experiencing uncomfortable sensations or health anxiety
• talk about why we’re dysregulating ourselves more with health anxiety than if we were actually present with sensation with curiosity instead of judgment
• discuss how to re-pattern your relationship with yourself through pleasure

Don’t have health anxiety? I STILL recommend this workshop because of how I teach connecting to the body through pleasure.

And, one of my students said, “I don’t have health anxiety, but this resonates so much with how I feel about money!”

Workshop 6 (live event): Expand — Widening Your Window of Tolerance

Once we begin practicing awareness, get curious about the voices in our heads, start facing our triggers and regulating our nervous systems, and start reconnecting with our bodies, we are already NATURALLY widening our “windows of tolerance”.

“Developed by Dan Siegel, a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, the Window of Tolerance describes the best state of ‘arousal’ or stimulation in which we are able to function and thrive in everyday life. When we exist within this window, we are able to learn effectively, play, and relate well to ourselves and others.”

Now, we can’t always be OUTSIDE our windows of tolerance. That’s where chronic dysregulation lives.

But, we can’t always be INSIDE our windows of tolerance either. Because your comfort zone is a lovely place, but no growth happens there.

In EXPAND, we’re going to… 

• discuss in detail what the Window of Tolerance is
• learn how to widen your window of tolerance through choice, exposure to stressors, titration, and sovereign safety
• discuss why we need to be within our windows of tolerance to “turn off” the stress response — but why staying within that window makes us stuck
• learn how to identify your signs of distress before you throw yourself so far outside your window of tolerance that you’re triggered af
• share what Newton’s Third Law of Physics has to do with your nervous system
• learn the difference between nervous system regulation that is supportive of expansion vs. using nervous system tools to regulate away uncomfortable feelings — like, what’s the line here?
• discuss why the “goal” of “healing” is NOT to always be regulated and within your window of tolerance and share what a much more realistic goal is 
• learn how to increase the resiliency, capacity, and flexibility of your nervous system and build self-trust using intentional stressors
• empower you to “ride the edge” of your window of tolerance while gently increasing what you’re able to handle
• learn about the primary emotions of each nervous system state and what it looks like when they’re integrated
• give you fast-acting tools so you can get back inside your window of tolerance when you need to

This workshop is open to ALL, however mental health practitioners will find EXPAND to be very helpful in working with clients with small windows of tolerance.

Workshop 7 (live event): Resilient — Self-Responsibility, Agency, & Boundaries

As you’re on your healing journey, you come to a point where you recognize that you have a lot more agency, power, and choice than you once realized.

It’s time to OWN IT! 

Once, the concepts of personal responsibility and agency only existed in my intellect. I could tell you what responsibility and agency were, but I couldn’t tell you how I was taking responsibility for myself and exercising agency in my own life. 

I remember feeling offended when my coach had the nerve to suggest to me that I wasn’t taking radical responsibility for myself, my feelings, my body, and my choices. 

I admit: talking about responsibility and agency with humans is a prickly topic. Add in the complex topic of boundaries, and well… it can feel squirmy.

Still, radical self-responsibility and agency are NON-NEGOTIABLE pieces of the puzzle. 

Once you have awareness of yourself, your sensations, thoughts, judgments, fears, triggers, disconnection from your body, and window of tolerance, the NEXT STEP is to play with responsibility and agency.

In addition to facing our fears and feeling our uncomfortable feelings, this is how we build RESILIENCY!

In RESILIENT, we’re going to…

• explore personal responsibility — what it is, what it isn’t — and why you are empowered to the degree that you are open and willing to be responsible for yourself
• discuss the role of personal responsibility when facing triggers — why it’s not always “the other person’s fault”
• talk about shifting from victim to overcomer, unconscious to conscious, contracted to expansive through personal responsibility and agency
• learn why taking responsibility for oneself and exercising one’s agency is the #1 requirement on the “healing journey”
• identify the difference between avoidance and healthy, necessary boundaries
• explore why victim consciousness ultimately keeps us small and stuck
• learn how you can change your future with the agency you exercise right now
• discuss how to know if you’re taking radical responsibility for your triggers
• hold space for the parts of us that didn’t have agency or power and love those parts back to life

Workshop 8 (live event): Just Live

It’s so easy to unconsciously find yourself on the Trauma-Healing Hamster Wheel — a place where you keep trying to heal but feel like you’re hitting a glass ceiling, so you just keep trying and keep trying, exhausting yourself, burning out, feeling shame, and really not living your life.

In JUST LIVE, we’re going to…

• identify obvious and not-so-obvious sources of what I call “lifestyle inflammation” — aspects of our lives that aren’t supporting our ongoing regulation and desires
• deep-dive into curiosity about how we might be caught up in “healing journey perfectionism” — it’s a tricky one!
• explore acceptance… like, what if we have emotional scars that are healed as much as they can be, and we have done all we can and it’s time to accept and let go
• talk about what “letting go” even means (I totally get it if you’re rolling your eyes here.)
• feel our way through the energy of “fixing” vs. the energy of supporting
• discuss the qualities of safe, reciprocal, conscious relationships and how to go about finding your people and co-creating these relationships with them
• redefine what “healing” actually means

When does FWF begin and end?

The dates and times (all US/Central) for the workshops and group calls are subject to change, currently TBD.

What if I can’t attend the workshops and/or group coaching calls live?

While I totally recommend prioritizing live attendance to the workshops and group calls, I completely understand that work, kids, schedules, and time zones create conflicts. We try as hard as we can to schedule the calls at a time when most people worldwide can attend live.

Every workshop includes a presentation + a Q & A session.

Group Sessions are separate group events where you can ask questions and discuss the given topic without time constraints. The Group Sessions are held on separate dates from the Workshops. Dates and times are listed in the “Additional Information” section above.

Every purchase includes lifetime access to the replays of the Workshops and Group Sessions, so you will always be able to follow along by catching the replays!

What are the payment plan options?

Your total investment for the Live Group Program is $1555, $1222, or $888, depending upon your financial security.

This is divided into 8 payments if you join in February, and 6 payments if you join in March. If a payment is missed, your access to the program will be suspended until payment is received.

If you choose the Group + Private Coaching option, your total investment is $2777.

This is divided into 5 payments. If a payment is missed, your access to the program and 1:1 calls will be suspended until payment is received.

What are Lindsey’s credentials?

I am a totally self-taught, intuitive healer and coach. As a Human Design Projector, I am built to research, study, and become an expert in my craft — and trauma-healing + the nervous system + spirituality is my craft.

If you’re looking for a therapist with degrees on their wall and letters behind their name, I am NOT the teacher/healer/coach for you. I totally get it if that’s what you need to feel safe.

I am not without accountability and mentorship, however. I have my own coaches, teachers, and mentors who speak Truth into my life and help me see when I might be off course.

Should I take some of Lindsey’s other workshops before participating in FWF?

There are no prerequisites for participating in FWF — although you’ll receive my foundational workshop NERVOUS SYSTEM 101, and the follow-up to that, THAWING THE FREEZE RESPONSE. These replays will provide you with key concepts, information, and language giving you a jumpstart into Feel Without Fear. It will also provide you with an opportunity to experience my teaching style and live Q&A sessions.

Why might one choose the Group + Private Coaching option over the Group Only?

A few reasons to choose the Group + Private Coaching option are…

• You desire or need more intensive work and support.
• You’re dealing with severe Complex PTSD or are new to CPTSD and need additional guidance.
• You’re uncomfortable sharing personal experiences in a group setting.
• You want to work more closely with Lindsey. This is the most affordable way to receive private coaching.

I am a coach/practitioner/therapist. Is FEEL WITHOUT FEAR appropriate for me?

Yes! This program provides insights for both personal growth and for those in healing professions.
