The RESET Program

If you've just completed Decode Your Trauma, you hopefully now understand how your childhood experiences shaped your nervous system, and why your body and mind respond the way they do now.

Knowledge is important, but what you now need is the tools and strategies to reset your nervous system.

The RESET Program is where we take everything you've learned over the past 5 days and put it into practice. It's where understanding becomes application. Where frameworks and models become habits. Where you move from decoding your trauma to actually healing from it.

This isn't an intellectual exercise. It's a guided, in-depth, experiential journey that will teach you how to work with your nervous system - not just think about it.

What happens when you reset your nervous system?

When your nervous system comes out of survival mode and finds a new, healthier baseline, the effects impact every area of your life:

Your anxiety settles and you feel a calm in your body you may not have felt in years. No more feeling on edge and unsettled without necessarily being able to pinpoint why.

Your sleep deepens as your system finally learns how to switch off and truly rest.

Your energy returns because your body is no longer spending everything on staying in fight-or-flight

Your relationships transform as you learn to set boundaries and show up from a place of safety, not survival

Your chronic pain eases as the tension your body has been holding begins to release

The brain fog lifts and you think more clearly than you have in a long time

You feel more YOU

How the RESET Program works

12 CORE Video Modules that build on each other

These 1-hour modules are the heart of the RESET program and are designed to be completed in your own time, at your own pace. To support effective healing, modules are released in a specific sequence: you start with the mindset and awareness foundations, then progressively learn and practise the tools - from therapeutic meditation and the STOP Process, to EFT, emotional work, inner critic defences, boundary-setting, and inner child healing. These sessions are all taught by me and are a combination of sharing strategies and principles as well as guiding you through practical exercises so you are clear on how to put what you are learning into action.

RESET Q&A Library To Ensure You Have Clarity

As you go through the program, questions will likely come up. With thousands of previous students having gone through the program, we have a library of filmed answers (by me!) to some of the most common questions asked. From questions concerned about meditation reactions, feelings of overwhelm, and not wanting to feel emotions, to practical questions about tapping, healthy motivation vs inner critic, and so many more! If you have a question that isn't answered you can even drop our team an email and they will be happy to help.

mini sessions To Deepen Understanding Of Key Techniques

Building on the core modules and to help give you confidence and clarity, you'll also find four filmed mini sessions where I demonstrate some of the key techniques with previous RESET students, so you can see exactly how tools like the STOP Process work in practice, not just hear me explain them.

Guided meditations & visualisations To Help You Calm Your Nervous System

To help you practise techniques and give specific support to help calm your nervous system, there are downloadable meditations and body scan exercises. Don’t worry if you are new to meditation or have found it difficult to do, the program includes a specific meditation module where I’ll help you with this.

worksheets To Help You Integrate

To help really integrate what you are learning into your life, for specific modules and exercises, you’ll find worksheets to complement what’s being taught.

Testimonials

The RESET Program has brought me a great deal of understanding of my emotional body and mind. I have fibromyalgia and have been battling with many factors in my life. I feel I am now at the beginning of a new journey with my new knowledge to help myself and gain some inner peace finally.

- Claire

After years of trying so many other responses to my issues and struggles, I finally found something that worked for me! The practical tools have been invaluable, I wish I had come across them years ago. In situations that formerly seemed completely outside my control, I now feel I have ways to approach, to safeguard myself and to act differently.

- Kath

The RESET Program has been a brilliant way for me to learn and put into practice a variety of tools/techniques to help with calming my nervous system. I have experienced a number of changes (including working on defending against my inner critic and opening up to my emotions) that have already started to make a transformative and life-changing impact on me. With Alex’s skilful, supportive and enjoyable way of teaching, I would thoroughly recommend the program to others.

- Simon

I am so grateful for the RESET Program. I expect that I’ll look back to these 12 weeks as a significant part of my healing journey, perhaps the most significant. It has made me excited and hopeful about the future.

- Wesley

The program can be life-altering - at the least you’ll learn many excellent tools. At the most, it has the capability to change your life.

- Sunita

Overall, I found this course to be super beneficial. It sets a great foundation for bodily awareness and emotional acceptance which I feel are important for recovery. The healing journey can be quite self exploratory and this RESET work is an integral part of the puzzle. Alex and his team are doing wonders for the M.E. and post-viral fatigue community. Personally I found this investment to be money well spent, especially as I can revisit the course materials in the future.

- Beth

Your Investment

When I used to work with people one-to-one, sessions were $200 an hour. These days, there's no availability for individual sessions with me - the only option is my mentorship program, which is a much more significant investment of time and money.

The RESET Program contains over 30 hours of teaching, guided meditations, filmed sessions and Q&A content - plus 3 months free Healing Together where you’ll get weekly live group sessions with myself or The Optimum Health Clinic team. That's more than $6,000 of value.

But I created this program to be accessible, because I know what it's like to need help and not be able to afford it.

A bit more about me

Hi, I’m Dr Alex Howard, and as your guide through the process of resetting your nervous system, I wanted to give you a short introduction to who I am and why the RESET Program is so important.

I've spent over two decades working as a Therapeutic Coach specialising in complex chronic illness, with an emphasis on trauma and fatigue.

But my real education started when I was 16 and became seriously ill with chronic fatigue syndrome. For years I was housebound, watching 7 hours of TV a day just to numb out. That experience — and the long road back to health — is what drives everything I do.

I'm the founder of The Optimum Health Clinic, where our team of 25+ practitioners has supported over 10,000 patients in 50+ countries. I created the Therapeutic Coaching® methodology with my dear friend and colleague Anna Duschinsky, and I hold a PhD in psychology.

I am deeply committed to helping people heal from trauma, and have strived to reach as many as possible through my most recent book, It's Not Your Fault: Why Childhood Trauma Shapes You and How to Break Free (translated into 9 languages), my YouTube series In Therapy, and my Conscious Life platform. Through Conscious Life, for the last 6 years I have hosted the world's largest conference on trauma — the Trauma Super Conference — where I have spent countless hours interviewing and leading programmes with some of the world's foremost trauma experts, including Dr Gabor Maté, Dr Peter Levine, Dr Bessel van der Kolk, Dr Stephen Porges, Dr Diane Poole Heller, and hundreds more.

But what matters far more than any credential is the 20+ years of sitting with people and really listening, figuring out what works, refining the approach, and helping people create change when nothing else has.

The RESET Program is now in its third version. It's been stress-tested over nearly two decades, starting with one-on-one sessions, followed by in-person groups that ran twice a month for 15 years, and now online. Every group, we collected feedback. Every round, we refined the content.

This program gets results when other programs have not.

‍I am of course a work in progress myself. I'm not sitting here claiming to have arrived. But I can tell you that the tools in this program changed my life, and I've watched them change thousands of others.I really hope you’ll join them.

I don’t have time to do a 12 week program

I can't really afford it right now.

I’d like to start but I’m worried I’ll get overwhelmed

Do I need to have done Decode Your Trauma first?

Is this just theory, or will I actually learn practical tools?

I've tried other programs and they didn't work. Why would this be different?
