NeuroSCIENCE education for PARENTS AND Helping ProfessionalS
Hi! I’m Janae Elisabeth.
Researcher-storyteller. Neurodiversity advocate. Here to share the emerging science of trauma, neurology, relationships, and community.
If you’ve been around Trauma Geek for a while, you already know this: our nervous systems don’t exist in isolation. We don’t burn out because we’re weak. We don’t get stuck because we’re doing regulation wrong. A LOT of the interrupted stress cycles we carry are adaptive responses to systems that ask our bodies to override stressors again and again.
Systemic Trauma and the Stress Cycle is where we zoom out — connecting nervous system science with culture, power, and collective conditions so we can understand why so many of us feel chronically activated, exhausted, or shut down even when we’re focusing so much attention on supporting our nervous systems.
We'll explore how stress becomes burnout and illness, how systemic power imbalance shapes symptoms, and why healing requires understanding the environment — not just the individual.
If you’ve wanted a deeper, more political, more compassionate nervous-system framework (the stuff we don’t always have time to unpack on social media), I can't wait to share this info with you. My goal is for you to leave with a clearer view of how personal distress connects to collective reality so that we can all carry less shame.
This course teaches 50 total Vagus Exercises over 12 months. Suitable for neurodivergent people, chronic illness warriors, and mental health professionals. These exercises do not suppress our experience; they help us feel our feelings without numbing out or getting flooded.

We Are Recovering what it means to be a human being
— Dr. Stephen Porges
A New Narrative of Trauma
In 1994 Dr. Stephen Porges revolutionized our understanding of the autonomic nervous system by proposing Polyvagal Theory.
Polyvagal Theory describes three states or circuits which enable all of our emotions and behavior. These states are the key to understanding trauma and mental health.
