What if your overwhelm, exhaustion, and disconnection weren’t personal failures, but survival responses to chronic unsafety?

What if your overwhelm, exhaustion, and disconnection weren’t personal failures, but survival responses to chronic unsafety?
 
We’re living in a world that constantly taxes our nervous systems with political chaos, financial strain, social disconnection, and a culture that rewards burnout. When safety is missing, our bodies know, even when our minds try to push through.
 
🧠 Without safety, your nervous system stays in survival mode:
 
You may feel scattered, shut down, overreactive, or disconnected.
Relationships can feel draining or overwhelming.
Your body never gets to truly rest.
Even joy and connection can feel out of reach.
 
That’s why Imogen Ragone and I are offering “Building Circles of Safety: A Foundation of Well-Being,” an Online Workshop
 
This workshop offers a new path:
Safety is not a luxury; it’s the foundation for everything.
Through gentle practices and science-backed insights from Interpersonal Neurobiology, we’ll explore how to:
 
✨ Reclaim internal safety and calm, even in a chaotic world
✨ Understand the science behind why you feel the way you do
✨ Recognize the signals your body gives about safety and danger
✨ Build connections that nourish, not deplete
✨ Create a personal map of relationships that support your nervous system’s regulation.
✨ Start cultivating safe, reciprocal relationships, even if you feel totally alone now
 
This isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about finally giving yourself what your system has always needed: safety, connection, and compassion.
 
🌀 Join us to begin the foundational work that supports healing, clarity, and resilience—not just for you, but for your community.
 
🗓 Two Tuesdays, August 5 and 12, 2025
⏰ 5:00-6:00 PM US Eastern Time
💻Online via Zoom. All registrants receive the recordings and slides.
💵 Sliding scale tuition as low as $15!
 
🌟 Everything is optional. Everything is invitational. You take what works for you, at your own pace.
 
 

About Shay Seaborne, CPTSD

Shay Seaborne CPTSD teaches Relational Neuroscience for stress reduction, trauma recovery, and community building. Shay has studied the neurobiology of fear / trauma /PTSD since 2014 and Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) since 2019. They write, speak, teach, and make art to convey their experiences as well as their understanding of the neurobiology of fear, trauma theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology concepts, and principles of trauma recovery. A native of Northern Virginia, Shay settled in Delaware to sail KALMAR NYCKEL, the state’s tall ship. But once they finally had mental health insurance, their life rapidly changed. The standard treatment for PTSD nearly killed them. The psychiatric abuse began a cascade of negative medical encounters that repeatedly caused additional harm and the development of severe Medical PTSD. Shay wishes everyone could recognize that "mental health problems" are symptoms of dysregulation, our mainstream culture is neuro-negative, and we can heal ourselves and each other through awareness, understanding, and safe connection.
