Nervous System Mapping
A three-part in-person workshop series at The Well Zone, Stockholm. We map your own nervous system states, look at what triggers you and how early you can notice and build an inventory of what actually brings you back to steadiness.
What we do
We build a map of your states, the settled state, fight, flight, freeze, shutdown and the mixed states that are so common nobody talks about them. Not a textbook version: yours, in your language, with your specific signs.
Then we practise recognising them. A map is only useful if you can locate yourself on it while something is happening, so we spend time noticing shifts in the room, in real time, at low stakes.
You will leave with
- A written personal map of your own nervous system states
- Your specific early signs for each state
- Language for what happens to you, instead of self-criticism
- A first sense of what helps you move between states
- Understanding of why willpower does not change a state
- Practice recognising a shift while it is happening
The three parts
The series runs over three meetings. Each builds on the one before and together they cover states, triggers and resources.
1. Mapping your states
Draw a personal map of fight, flight, freeze, shutdown and the mixed states in between, in your own language, with your own signs and practise locating yourself on it while something is happening.
2. Understanding your triggers
What a trigger actually is in the body, what yours have in common and how to notice the build-up earlier, because the seconds before a reaction are where choice lives.
3. Discovering your resources
Build a tested inventory of what genuinely settles your system: not generic self-care, but the specific things your own body recognises and how to reach them when you are already activated.
Who this is for
People who react in ways they do not understand and would like to. People who swing between doing too much and being unable to move. People who have read about the nervous system and want to know what it means for them specifically rather than in theory.
It is also useful for anyone who works with others, carers, teachers, therapists, managers, because recognising states in yourself is the prerequisite for recognising them anywhere else.
It is not group therapy and it is not a substitute for individual work. It is a practical, structured way of learning the terrain.

Questions people ask
Do I need any experience with somatic work?
None. The workshop is built for people meeting these ideas for the first time and it is equally useful if you have been in therapy for years.
Will I have to share personal things with the group?
No. You work with your own map and choose what, if anything, you say out loud. Much of the work is done privately, on paper and in your own body.
Is it available online?
No. All my workshops are held in person at The Well Zone in Stockholm. Online work happens in individual sessions.
