What if productivity isn’t about pushing through but about working with your natural rhythm? In this post, I share how a day of following my instincts—repotting plants, building LEGO flowers, and walking my dogs—led to more creativity, inspiration, and progress than forcing myself to work. This shift, influenced by the Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP) and embracing my neurodivergence, has helped me move away from rigid expectations and toward a more compassionate, effective way of working. Read on to see why rest isn’t the opposite of productivity—it’s a key part of it.

Watch the recording of "How Anxiety Manifests in the Nervous System". Unyte Health welcomed Carol Ann Brayley, neurodivergent clinical social worker, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and expert Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) provider to this Provider Spotlight webinar. This session highlighted her clinical use of the SSP within the context of anxiety, the nervous system and physical health. Exploring the evolutionary basis of anxiety and what happens to our nervous system when we’re anxious, this webinar shared considerations for approaching SSP delivery with anxious clients and how their nervous system may respond. We discussed how the SSP can lessen anxiety by cultivating an internal state of safety and social engagement and discussed practical success stories. You can expect to learn: What the purpose of anxiety is and how it can manifest in the body and nervous system. Strategies for grounding anxious clients. Effective SSP titration for maximized therapeutic impact. How adding the SSP can add to your practice.

An overview of the importance of SSP being titrated to the specific nervous system of the individual, and how I arrived to the discovery of Microdosing SSP.

Watch as I am being interviewed by the parent of a little boy on the spectrum that I did SSP with. Related topics covered are using SSP with those with trauma, and neurofeedback and the similarities and differences between them.
