Welcome to Fault Lines
You’ve made it.
Whether this course is something you’re adding to work you’re already doing with a therapist,
or the beginning of noticing yourself in a new way,
I’m thrilled to get to be one of the people in your corner.
Some people arrive here with a long history of self-reflection.
Others arrive because something familiar has started to feel expensive, or less workable than it used to be.
This course is here to help you understand how you tend to operate, and how to work with it without unnecessary strain.
As you go, you’ll start catching your patterns in real time,
with more clarity and far more choice.
Move through this in whatever way actually fits your life.
You’ll see what’s useful as you go…

Your Me-Map
My way of helping people see what their life includes in a mid-level way between broad/vague and nitty-gritty/in the weeds. An internal and external worlds inventory of plates/loads; pattern spotting.

Human Kryptonite Warning
This companion module should function as both a guardrail and a reset button. It protects them from getting sucked into rumination while you are encouraged freshly noticing hard stuff.

Giving Credit Where It's Due
This lesson is about you giving your nervous system real-time evidence that you are already showing up with integrity, effort, and restraint. Even when no one’s clapping and nothing is “finished” yet.
Not hype.
Not gold stars.
Actual, embodied recognition.Self-trust doesn’t grow from pressure.
It grows from being seen, especially by yourself.This lesson is about you giving your nervous system real-time evidence that you are already showing up with integrity, effort, and restraint. Even when no one’s clapping and nothing is “finished” yet.

Compassionate Curiosity and Suspending Judgment
This is the difference between awareness that helps… and awareness that just hands your inner critic a microphone.
You’ll learn how to stay curious about what you’re doing without immediately deciding what it means about you as a person.
Less interrogation.
More contextualized noticing.Think: insight that doesn’t make you want to lie down afterward.

Window of Thriving
This lesson helps you read your internal temperature before burnout, shutdown, or over-control take the wheel.
You’ll start noticing the early signals (your tense jaw, the more shallow breath, the clumsy urgency) and learn how to recalibrate without panicking or powering through.Balance isn’t about some sort of zen serenity,
it’s more about your responsiveness.This lesson helps you read your internal temperature before burnout, shutdown, or over-control take the wheel.

Home Front
This lesson looks at the early environments that trained your system what to expect today: what you brace for, what you downplay, what you tolerate without realizing you’re doing it.
Once you can name that weather, you stop assuming it’s just “how things are.”
And that alone changes how much choice you have in the present.

Sensorium of Selfhood
If you’re excellent at explaining yourself in theory, but less confident about what your body is actually doing in real time, this lesson is for you.
Here we slow things down enough to notice how information in your system presents it’s self beyond thoughts or often mysterious “feelings.”

Jahari Window
No one can see themselves from every angle, no matter how reflective or self-aware they are. Some things only come into focus when someone else gently points at them and says, “Hey, did you know…?”
Think less raw and scary self-exposure and more getting upgraded glasses prescription after not realizing you’d been squinting for years.

(Ad)vantage Points
Meta-awareness is the ability to notice what you’re doing while you’re doing it, without immediately adding commentary, labels and condemnation.
This lesson helps you catch the habit mid-motion and stay kind enough to choose differently, or not…
Either way, the point is that you will be more aware of the real ability you have to choose and more about what those choices are made of.
