Managing our stress response
We carry our stress with us nearly 24/7. We have been taught that stress is toxic and we must avoid stressors to reduce stress. Unfortunately, most of us haven’t had the opportunity to learn how to utilize our natural stress response and stress cycle to manage the stress we can’t easily avoid.
HAERT explains our physiological stress response and the methods for using it effectively, including self-awareness and self-management of our emotions, thought and behaviors. HAERT offers practical, evidence-based skills and steps to manage and take advantage of stress.

Emotional overwhelm
When we are stressed, our emotions we experience can get the better of us. We do our best with the skills we pick up throughout our lives and sometimes it’s just not enough. Not enough of us have explicitly learned the strategies and techniques for managing our emotions in more effective ways.
The HAERT Program helps us understand the factors—especially the ones we can control—that affect our emotions. HAERT teaches the skills we need to stop feeling overwhelmed and avoiding our uncomfortable feelings. HAERT coaches us to embrace and learn from our emotions.

Mindset for stress
Our thoughts have a remarkably strong impact on our stress levels and experience of burnout. If we believe stress is toxic, it will be toxic and will take it’s toll on our bodies. AND we can learn to use stress to our benefit—a booster that we can leverage. Research shows that adjusting our mindset around stress massively impacts the physiological effects and our relationship with stress.
The HAERT Program systematically and explicitly teaches the science behind the different stress mindsets and how to take advantage of them. HAERT changes our culture around stress.
Not easy. And definitely doable.
Remember the first time you wrote an essay? Did you do it without instructions? Did you know what you were doing? Was it hard to figure out what to put in it, where to put what, what actually made it a good essay?
For many, writing well can seem like a mystery until we break it down with common language and skills for how to compose the parts and put it all together.
Practice makes the whole thing smoother. Less awkward. Almost a habit.
Explicit guidelines take the mystery away and make writing seem like a skill anyone can learn.
Maybe it’s still a challenge. But possible and worth the effort.
The most important things in life are not easy AND we can make them easier with help. Many people acquire various life enhancement skills in a tacit or subconscious way. Because the skills are not learned explicitly and may not be used consciously, people often struggle to transfer these skills to different situations and regularly forget the skills when the context changes. Especially when life gets harder.
HAERT makes life enhancement skills explicit, provides a common language, teaches the components, the why, the what, and the how. HAERT also shows how these skills are the antidote to burnout and stress.
HAERT’s easy-to-follow “do these things in these situations” guidelines take the mystery and overwhelm out of stress management. We teach it in baby steps for ease of adoption.
Live coaching opportunities give you a chance to share specific challenges and receive focused guidance.
