This is a recordings package of the original, first-ever, 2018 live book-study-course where Sarah walks though the concepts, one week at a time, breaking down the neuroscience into easy to understand bites, moving through each chapter in a 55-min segment.

This is a recorded series, compiled from a previous online Zoom course that moves through the original YOUR RESONANT SELF recordings in 16 sessions, 1 week per chapter + introduction and closing.

Take a Look Inside the Course
Week 1: Introduction and Welcome
- This week we’ll set our learning container and go over the materials in the introduction, and put in place our understanding of the neurobiology of relationships.
Week 2 – Chapter 1: How We Talk to Ourselves: The Default Mode Network
- This chapter explores the way in which our inner voices affect our relational connections.
Week 3 – Chapter 2: Staying in Emotional Balance: Healthy Self-Regulation
- In this week’s study group we’ll learn how emotional balance in both people influences the relationship.
Week 4 – Chapter 3: Developing Self-Kindness: Introducing the Resonating Self-Witness
- Trust is the focus of our exploration this week. If we prevent ourselves from having trust, we will have a difficult time nourishing relational growth with a partner.
Week 5 – Chapter 4: Taming the Inner Critic: Hearing the Attempt to Contribute
- How do our inner critics sabotage our relationships? How can we invite movement and healing?
Week 6 – Chapter 5: Calming Anxiety: Moving Toward Trust
- Week 6 takes us into the role of anxiety in our connections, and how to move toward more soothing relational spaces. This week we begin to understand the relationship between the vagus nerve and our nervous system states of fight/flight/panicked aloneness and immobilization.
Week 7 – Chapter 6: Time Traveling with Resonance: Healing Old Hurts
- This week’s group takes us into an understanding of trauma and its effect on relationships, and how trauma healing changes us and makes us more available for mutual nourishment
Week 8 – Chapter 7: Claiming Anger’s Creative and Protective Gifts
- What effect does anger have on relationships? Does it have to be toxic, or can it be life-serving?
Week 9 – Chapter 8. Vanquishing Ancient Fears
- In this study group, we’ll look at how our connections are impacted by terror, fear and fear-based anxiety. How does it feel to move toward a true sense of safety?
Week 10 – Chapter 9: Returning from Dissociation
- How do relationships keep us in a state of dissociation? And how can we use this knowledge to claim our full capacity for presence with one another?
Week 11 – Chapter 10: Attachment: How Brains Respond to Accompaniment
- This week’s lesson breaks down our patterns of attachment and explores how we try to make ourselves safe within our attachment styles, and how this effects our relationships.
Week 12 – Chapter 11: Healing Self-Hate and Disorganized Attachment
- In the cramping patterns of self-hate, we often feel we hate ourselves and perhaps lose all hope that our lives matter. How can we survive self-hate in our interpersonal connections?
Week 13 – Chapter 12: Gently Healing Depression
- Often when struggling with depression, we feel despair and hopeless, as if our lives have no meaning, and this changes our ability to act in our connections with others. This week’s lesson shows us how to find richness and create meaning, to feel that self-love is within reach.
Week 14 – Chapter 13: Leaving Behind Addictions and Compulsions: The Contributions of Self-Understanding and Resonance
- Interlocking and mutually canceling sacred vows can leave people with so little room to breathe or exist that addictions become the only answer. How can our understanding of unconscious contracts help us in the journey toward freedom from addictions and compulsions?
Week 15 – Chapter 14: Joy, Community, and Our Outside Voice: Bringing Our Resonating Self-Witness to Others
- This week’s lesson explores the importance of empathizing with excitement, delight and joy, and how dyadic joy is. Understanding the gifts of social engagement – what happens in our body when we’re in ventral vagal, vibrating with other humans in trust and safety, is a key piece of hope that can help keep us going on the path of healing trauma.
What people love about Your Resonant Self
I am amazed that so much of my previous work over 34 years is coming together and knitting me into someone newer and freer and much gentler and creative, and curious.
This experience is truly transformative. My first workshop was with Sarah in Nashville; continuing this Your Resonant Self work is critical for my development!
I really enjoy your gentle way… I found myself noticing aliveness in my body throughout the day, as has happened every day in this class. Thank you!

Sarah’s Story
I used to struggle with reactive, highly volatile relationships, with my partners, my children, my family… it has taken years of practice developing my own self-resonance and secure attachment to be in joyful connective relationships.
I’m here today to share what I’ve learned since then about how to heal past pains and move into a joyful relationship with ourselves using the insights of my book, Your Resonant Self. Regardless of your age, genetic predisposition or adverse childhood experiences, your brain is capable of building new neural fibers to help self-regulate your emotions and awaken your body as a place of safety and security.
