Overcoming Overwhelm:
Breaking the Habit of Survival
A 2 hour live Online Workshop with Psychologist & Integrative Practitioner, Nicola Phoenix.
We live in a world where doing, fixing, and coping has become the norm but constantly pushing through life in survival mode comes at a cost: exhaustion, anxiety, tension, and feeling disconnected from yourself.
This two-hour immersive workshop is designed to help you step out of chronic stress patterns and return to a state of calm, clarity, and self-trust.
Led by Psychologist and Integrative practitioner Nicola Phoenix, you’ll explore the emotional, psychological, and energetic roots of overwhelm and learn how to shift from holding it all together to feeling supported within yourself.
This workshop is for you if:
You often feel like you're in:
Constant go-mode or high alert
Patterns of overthinking, perfectionism, or people-pleasing
Cycles of stress, tension, or emotional heaviness
Survival mode even when life is “fine” on the outside
And you're ready to:
Slow down
Regulate your nervous system
Release emotional stress rather than store it
Feel grounded, clear, and connected again
You’ll Experience a guided journey through:
Understanding the Roots of Overwhelm
You’ll explore the psychological landscape of overwhelm, the hidden beliefs, suppressed pain, subconscious programs, and habitual thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of fear, control, and hypervigilance. Nicola will help you uncover the inner stories that drive perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the need to “hold it all together,” and understand how your brain and body can stay locked in survival mode without you realising it. This awareness becomes the foundation for real healing.
The Science and Soul of Regulation
Nicola will guide you through accessible nervous system regulation strategies so you can recognise when you're in fight, flight, or freeze and learn how to return to safety through grounding, breathwork, and awareness.
These practices aren’t about a quick calm-down moment, but about retraining your body to feel secure again. You’ll experience breathwork sequences that support your hormones, brain, and emotional state, helping you reset and restore ease.
Releasing, Not Suppressing
You’ll learn how to feel and release emotions rather than suppress them. Nicola creates a safe, supportive energetic space where you can understand your feelings, connect with their messages, and let them move through you. Through guided energy work and visualisation, you’ll practise letting go of emotional tension and old imprints that keep you tied to the past, creating more flow, lightness, and inner freedom.
Breaking the Habit of Survival
“Overcoming Overwhelm” is not about learning another set of productivity or stress-management hacks, it’s about breaking the deep habit of living in survival mode. Nicola teaches how to shift from reactive control into receptive trust, from fear into presence. By understanding the mind–body connection and reconnecting with your inner wisdom, you begin to cultivate new neural and emotional pathways that support genuine thriving. You can learn to allow life to unfold and surrender to what is..rather than patterns of control and fear that perpetuate the cycle of pain and suffering.
