I am not safe right now
Four numbers. Free, open now, and you can text two of them. Nothing here asks you for anything first.
the numbers, nowThis is bad, but I can try something
One thing to run, in under three minutes. No sign-up, nothing collected.
under 3 minYou are most likely here looking for something to do when it is bad. Not a plan — you probably have one of those. A plan gets made on a good day, in a room where you are calm and supported and thinking clearly. None of those three things is true on a Tuesday afternoon. What is here was written from the inside: four years in the provincial health, rehabilitation and compensation systems as a claimant. A workplace injury, chronic pain, three surgeries, and the identity loss that comes with the end of a trade. Not a clinician, and nothing here is treatment.
What is hardest right now?
Pick the closest one. Each goes to a single tool you can run in under three minutes — free, no sign-up, nothing collected.
I cannot settle. Everything is too loud.
Start with the Now Protocol — three things seen, two felt, one heard, and three slow exhales. It takes under two minutes and it is the tool every other one assumes.
Run it — The Now Protocol →My body is doing things I did not ask it to.
The Body Reset. Your body is giving you information, not a verdict, and there is a sequence for turning the volume down.
Run it — The Body Reset →I cannot stop the thought.
The Thought Reset. A thought is information, not a command — and suppression makes it louder, which is why this works differently than you have been told.
Run it — The Thought Reset →The same thing keeps happening.
The Circle. Patterns are not character flaws; they are the brain running the fastest route to a known outcome. Find the earliest signal and change one step.
Run it — The Circle Protocol →I cannot start the thing I have to do.
The Task Activation Protocol. You do not have to feel ready. Motivation comes after you start, not before. Make the task smaller. Move one thing out of the way. Set a timer for ten minutes.
Run it — The Task Activation Protocol →My reaction is bigger than the thing that caused it.
The Line. A small thing happens and the feeling is huge. That gap is the signal. It usually means the past has arrived. This one sorts then from now.
Run it — The Line Protocol →I am carrying somebody else through something.
Start where the series ends up: your own regulation is the intervention. A calm helper beats a technically correct script delivered badly.
Run it — The Now Protocol →When one tool is not enough
Still free, still nothing collected. Each of these is a step up in commitment, not a step up in price.

2 min to the first toolI want to run this for a group
17 ninety-minute sessions, peer-facilitated, for groups of six to twelve. Every handout and worksheet is free to take.
90 min per sessionI am deciding whether to bring this in
What it rests on, what it measures, what it does not claim, and who it is for.
2 min readWhat it is all built on
One framework for noticing what is happening and taking the next small step. Everything here is built on it.
Walk the seven stages — what each one is, and what to run at it.
There is also a free email course, Run the Loop — seven short emails, one per stage of the loop.
And if the person having the hard time is your child, co-regulation is the words to use, by age, and the one thing that has to happen first.
If you want to know who made this and what it is built on, that is about.
