Tired of feeling like the next storm on the horizon will be the one that wipes you out?
Looking for a simple, repeatable way to manage overwhelm and not another band-aid?
Ready to experience emotional resilience (the ability to bounce back in the face of adversity)?
In this session, we'll discuss...
Why "trying harder" or "getting organized" often fails for overwhelmed people with Quirky Minds, and what to do instead.
The two science-backed questions that short-circuit the cycle of overwhelm: What can I control? What do I need to accept?
How to actually use these questions to shift out of overwhelm and away from the standard options of fight/flight/freeze/fawn.
What to do with the answers you get from these questions so you can effectively determine your next steps.
When to use these questions to prevent spirals before they start.

I'm Whit, and Quirky People Are My People
I'm Whit Davison, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Kansas City, Missouri, and I specialize in treating severe anxiety, complex trauma, and dissociation. In working with many of these clients, I came to understand that most of the time,"standard" self-help didn't actually help. Sometimes "standard" interventions even made things worse. I realized that the minds of people with severe anxiety and dissociation are different, even after treatment and they are "well."
This workshop shares one of my favorite ways to work with overwhelm in a concrete, easy-to-do format. It works with the way Quirky Minds respond to overwhelm instead of against it.

FAQs
“This seems too simple — will it actually work?”
It is simple, and that’s the point. These two questions cut through the overwhelm and help you see the obvious next step. We’ll also talk through how to work around the internal resistance that keeps you stuck in cycles of stress.
“Isn’t ‘acceptance’ just another form of toxic positivity?”
Not here. We’re not bypassing, sugarcoating, or pretending things are fine when they’re not. We’ll explore how strategic acceptance can lower distress and free up energy so you can take meaningful action where it counts.
“I don’t have complex trauma or dissociation — is this still relevant?”
Yes. If you ever feel overwhelmed, frozen, or like you’re carrying too much, this workshop will give you tools that are supportive whether you’re anxious, highly sensitive, or just tired of pushing through.
“I can’t attend live — will the replay be enough?”
Yes. Everyone who registers gets access to the replay, and the workshop is designed to be just as valuable whether you’re there live or watching later.
“I'm one of your clients/a former client, is this something I can use?”
That's up to you! I guarantee we've talked about this before, but I've tried to simplify and streamline the idea in a way that really makes the concept work.
