The 2022 Neuroscience and Resonance Monthly Series
Each month, Sarah presents a 90-minute deep-dive into the latest neuroscience research on various healing topics, and how we might apply it to resonant healing. Each webinar supports us to see ourselves, and our brains, with compassion and understanding.
January 2022 – December 2022 Topics:
Re-Enchantment
As each of us lives through the wear and tear of everyday life, the world can lose its shine. We can become tired and overwhelmed with everything that is happening. How do we recover our delight, our energy, and our bounce? How do we fall in love with life again?
Join Sarah for an exploration of the phenomenon of Re-Enchantment, and how to open the door to our own willingness to be in this world and still love it.
- This is an online zoom webinar that runs for 90 minutes with an optional 30 min Q&A.
- Purchase includes invitation to the live webinar and post-webinar access to access the recording + slides, including research citations when relevant.
- This webinar is the January meeting of Sarah’s 2022 Neuroscience and Resonance monthly series.
Healing Imposter Syndrome
No matter how well you do, or how successful you are, do you often have a sneaking sense that something is wrong? That people don’t really know you? That if they did actually know you, they wouldn’t like you? Do you believe that you have somehow managed to fool the people who have a good opinion of you? If you have any of these experiences, you have touched what is called “Imposter Syndrome.”
Join Sarah Peyton and Jaya Manske for an investigation of the research into this phenomenon and some resonant practices to bring you back to your sense of authenticity when you lose your sense of your own worth.

Naming, Understanding and Healing Collective Trauma
After bombings, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and other disasters, domestic violence rates increase by at least 50% in families for up to two years (and beyond). Collective trauma enters the bones of our families, changing childhoods, and creating imprints of stress and distress on people. Shame often follows the movement of collective trauma into family history – without any knowledge of the impact of collective trauma, people can ask themelves, “why does my family suffer from alcoholism, addiction, child abuse, or violence?” The naming of the impact of collective trauma is the first step in healing. What are the other steps that can be taken to support the healing of our families and our communities?
Join Sarah for an exploration that will take us into transgenerational understanding, compassion and movement.

Our Broken Fields: Projection and What Others See
Relationships can be confusing. What is ours? What belongs to others? Why do some of our qualities come out most clearly in some relationships and not in others? What are others seeing and why are they reacting to us the way we do? What is our own responsibility to heal and what can we let go of? Neuroscience and resonance let us enter the world of our relational shadows with a bit more clarity and a lot more self-compassion.
Join Sarah to discover what relational neuroscience teaches us about this phenomenon and how to leverage our new knowledge.

ADHD: Understanding and Celebration
Research into ADHD and its effects, consequences, and strengths has been exploding. From implications for substance use and anxiety, sleep satisfaction and the ability to juggle multiple tasks. What are areas that need our care? And what are the areas worthy of celebration?
Join Sarah to explore the gifts of ADHD and the ways that resonance can make ADHD lives easier.

Finding Gentleness with OCD
Do you ever find it difficult to live with the demands your brain makes on you? Is the price for saying “no,” higher than you can endure? What are the brain patterns with OCD? What parts of the brain are involved in OCD? What does research say is helpful? And what is it like to be in relationship with people with OCD?
Join Sarah to discover what kinds of resonance are most supportive for demanding brains.

“Working with Sarah, my body has changed from being a highly reactive one with panic attacks and anxiety into a calm, peaceful and resilient body. Through Sarah Peyton’s work I have learned to listen to my witness self and give kindness to myself in times of challenge. My nervous system has changed as a result of the practices learned from Sarah Peyton. I highly recommend her!”

The Neuroscience of Violence
Why are some people violent and some people not? What are the precursors of violent behavior? What are the roots of violence in the brain? What neurotransmitters are involved? What is the transgenerational contribution, and what about epigenetics?
Join Sarah to discover what the research shows about behavior change, and, most importantly, what resonance can do to support change.

Complex PTSD: Understanding and Healing
What are the aftereffects of receiving emotional, verbal, psychological, sexual or physical violence? What happens to brains when they endure long periods of time, trapped in a situation where violence is being done? How does “ordinary” PTSD differ from complex PTSD? How can we tell the difference, and how does our healing approach differ between the two? What should we look out for, and how can we distinguish the signs of healing?
Join Sarah for a dive into the origins and impacts of Complex PTSD and the pathways toward healing.

Warmth for Disillusionment: The Traumas of Political Disaffection
In these difficult times, it can be hard to retain our idealism. Yet, when we lose our idealism, we tend to lose our energy to create change. What can we hold on to, and hope for, in a world where our heroes are tarnished and our political parties seem to have lost their moral centers? What happens when we have warmth and resonance for our disillusionment?
Join Sarah for a 90-minute exploration and discover what resonance can do to support our resilience and changework.

“For as long as I can recall, I have struggled with and been ruled by my anxiety, confusion and fear. The information Sarah shares, and the way she shares it has changed me – literally. More than ever before I am able to be calm, clear headed and lovingly proactive in response to how I feel – what a relief! I feel liberated and as if I am finally able to be the self I always imagined I was, could be and am. I highly recommend exploring Sarah’s work.”

Dismantling Perfectionism
How often do you find yourself falling short of your own impossibly high standards? What purpose could our perfectionism, which so often tortures us so mercilessly, possibly serve? What are the contracts that take us into the self-cruelty of never being good enough, and can we release them?
Join Sarah to explore the relational neuroscience of perfectionism and the ways that resonance can support increasing freedom and well-being.

Gentrification, Community and the Brain
Does the neighborhood you live in have an effect on your brain? How about your community? How do we carry our communities within us? Why do people say that gentrification is the new redlining? What are the systemic implications for our sense of home and the ways that our brains work to integrate self and world?

FREE: Sarah’s 2022 Process Work Exploration: Giving Back Shame
Every year Sarah takes the newest process that she has been exploring and brings it to the public to savor and experience along with her. We never know what will be unveiled at this annual, exciting webinar, free to the public.
Are you ever left with a shame hangover? Whatever the difficult moment was has already gone, but do you still feel the shame as if it weren’t in the past? Neurobiologically it’s true – your brain doesn’t know that the shaming moment is over and done with – the body continues to carry the burden.
Would you like to have a way to get rid of the old shame that you carry? If so, please watch Sarah Peyton’s 2022 free process work webinar to witness her latest explorations on shame.
