The problem this program addresses
Chronic pain, persistent fatigue, recurring headaches, irritable bowel symptoms — these are among the most frequent reasons people seek medical help, and among the least well-managed when organic causes have been ruled out. This program is designed for that specific situation.
Who attends this program?
Adults who have received a psychosomatic or functional diagnosis and want to understand their condition more precisely. Some participants come after years of inconclusive medical investigations.
What participants work on
The program covers breathing regulation, body scanning protocols, structured journaling for emotional processing, and basic nervous system regulation exercises. These are not relaxation techniques — they are documented interventions with specific physiological targets.
Format and pace
Sessions are 90 minutes each. Participants receive between-session practice assignments that take approximately 20 minutes daily. The program does not work well passively — consistent practice outside sessions is required.
Vasyl Hordienko, Zaporizhzhia — The daily assignments were genuinely difficult at first. By week four I could feel the difference in how my body responded to stress triggers. I would not call it a cure, but it changed what I could manage on my own.
Facilitators hold qualifications in somatic psychology and have clinical backgrounds. This is not a wellness program — the content is clinical in orientation.
