THE SOMATIC EF SUITE™

Executive Function for Humans With Actual Nervous Systems.

EF ISN’T A SKILL PROBLEM.

IT’S A NERVOUS SYSTEM PROBLEM.

If planners worked, they would’ve worked by now.
If motivation worked, you’d be motivated by now.
If “try harder” worked, you wouldn’t be reading this page.

Your brain isn’t broken.
Your body is done pretending.

Welcome to the only EF method designed for:

  • ND brains

  • overwhelmed bodies

  • trauma-tinged nervous systems

  • real-life demands

  • inconsistent energy

  • shutdown cycles

  • masking fatigue

  • emotional labor

  • sensory overload

This is executive function for humans, not robots.

WHAT IS SOMATIC EF?

The thing every ND person needed their whole life.

Somatic EF is where:

  • nervous system

  • emotional regulation

  • sensory load

  • lived experience

  • trauma history

  • identity

  • daily-life functioning

finally meet executive function.

Traditional EF coaching:
“Just start! Set a timer!”

Somatic EF coaching:
“Your nervous system is in a state of functional collapse.
Let’s bring your body back online first.”

We regulate → then scaffold → then build systems that actually hold.

THE 4 SOMATIC EF PATHS

Choose the one that matches your life stage (or your kid’s).

  • SOMATIC EF FOR ND TEENS (MS/HS)

    Your teen isn’t defiant. Their nervous system is drowning.”

    For teens who shut down, melt down, freeze, or “forget everything” because their EF is in a trauma-sensory chokehold.

    ✔ Task initiation without panic
    ✔ Shutdown prevention
    ✔ Somatic school survival
    ✔ Routines that don’t collapse
    ✔ Parent regulation support

  • SOMATIC EF FOR YOUNG ADULTS / COLLEGE

    “Being 18 doesn’t magically grow a frontal lobe.”

    For college students and young adults drowning in unstructured time, sensory overload, anxiety, and the myth of “independence.”

    ✔ writing + assignment initiation
    ✔ shutdown mapping
    ✔ daily-life scaffolding
    ✔ somatic reset tools
    ✔ semester triage

  • SOMATIC EF FOR ND GRAD STUDENTS

    “You can analyze quantum theory but can’t answer a two-sentence email.”

    For ND grad students battling perfectionism, panic cycles, unstructured research time, advisor terror, and chronic masking.

    ✔ writing rhythms
    ✔ somatic launch sequences
    ✔ burnout mapping
    ✔ emotional load audit
    ✔ meltdown → recovery protocols

  • SOMATIC EF FOR ND WOMEN

    “You’re not disorganized you’re carrying the mental load of a small nation.”

    For ND women managing work, motherhood, relationships, trauma, ADHD/autism, hormonal swings, and enough emotional labor to level a city.

    ✔ boundaries that don’t break your body
    ✔ somatic load reduction
    ✔ freeze/fawn repair
    ✔ sensory + hormonal rhythms
    ✔ burnout stabilization

THE RESEARCH

(IN HUMAN LANGUAGE)

  • When your nervous system spikes → your EF crashes.

  • When you’re overloaded → planning shuts down.

  • When you’re frozen → initiation is impossible.

  • When you’re dissociated → time is a myth.

  • When you’re masking → your cognitive bandwidth is already gone.

Also:
Your frontal lobe is not a superhero.
It’s a small, overworked intern doing its best.

Somatic regulation increases EF.
 It’s neuroscience, not vibes.

HOW SOMATIC EF WORKS

(AKA: “Why this finally makes sense.”)

1. Regulate the nervous system.
 We stabilize what’s firing, flooding, freezing, or dissociating.

2. Map the overwhelm.
 We identify your emotional, sensory, cognitive, and relational load.

3. Build EF structures around actual capacity.
 Not maximum capacity — sustainable capacity.

4. Create micro-systems for real life.
 Daily living, school, work, motherhood, relationships not a single planner in sight.

5. Make it repeatable.
 The goal isn’t rigidity it’s rhythm.

✔ No pretending ND people function like NT people

And yes, it’s differentiated AF.

Book a EF consult

  • Yes. You’ve only tried cognitive EF.
    This is somatic EF.
    Different universe.

  • No.
    But it will make therapy easier because your nervous system stops white-knuckling survival. text goes here

  • No.
    We make their nervous system safe enough that homework becomes possible.

  • Yes , we design your EF around burnout, not against it.

  • Yes. We specialize in overlap: ADHD + autism + trauma + anxiety.
