Why This Course

Many of us spend our days holding everything together — for children, for students, for families, for teams — often while quietly running on empty ourselves. We show up, we care deeply, and yet we still hit those moments where our energy crashes, our patience thins, or our brain simply won’t cooperate.

Why am I reacting like this? 
Why can’t I focus? 
Why is everything harder today — and why now?

Adult Self-Reg: Seeing Myself with Soft Eyes offers a science-based, compassionate alternative to surface-level self-care.  Instead of telling you to “do more to feel better,” this course helps you finally understand your own stress states — biologically, emotionally, cognitively, socially, and prosocially — and the hidden stressors shaping how you feel and function.

Guided by Susan Hopkins (EdD), you’ll explore the 5 Practices of Shanker Self-Reg® and the 5 Domains of Stress, weaving together powerful neuroscience with relatable stories, reflection tools, and practical strategies. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about seeing yourself with soft eyes, understanding what your brain and body are trying to tell you, and finding your way back to genuine restoration.
