Hi, I'm Justin. I built BSA based on the needs of my clients, course students, and audience. The strength of their safety state is consistently a huge obstacle in their recovery and nothing else addressed this problem adequately.

I delved deeply into the Polyvagal Theory to enhance my therapy outcomes for heavily traumatized clients. Now, I specialize in trauma therapy with somatic techniques and a strong grasp of the theory. I've taught it globally through my podcast and directly to teachers, social workers, police, therapists, and more. I'm a member of the Polyvagal Institute's Editorial Board and the author of the Stuck Not Broken book series.

In short, I'm a Polyvagal Nerd.

I recently finished the BSA course and have noticed that when I go into shutdown I am more able to be with a sense of hopelessness, heaviness, shallow and slow breath, feeling cold, fuzzy head, whilst also being aware of the dog on my lap and the birds singing outside, the softness of my blanket. So although I am aware of shutdown I am also aware that I can get get up and cope by making a cup of tea, going for a walk etc. I no longer have the dread that I will drift away, never be found, never escape from the shutdown.
