It’s Like the Stress Button is Jammed On
“For many of us, the ‘panic button’ gets jammed on. Even when the danger is long past, the body keeps bracing. The mind keeps scanning. We’re still waiting for the moment we can finally exhale.” — inspired by Tara Brach
- Endless work meetings that go nowhere
- Supporting everyone else’s needs first
- Scrolling just to numb out
- Another late night… another early morning
- A drink to relax, but it’s never enough
- Feeling behind on everything
- The pressure to perform at work
- Being the strong one — always
- No time to breathe, reflect, reset
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone…
Strong on the Inside. Steady on the Outside.
Re: Thrive – Practical tools for nervous system health
Hi there,
Thanks for checking out our upcoming series. We’re living in a time that’s blasting our nervous systems. Constant noise, pressure, and speed push people to the edge. Most of us carry more than we show, and change isn’t slowing down.
I know this firsthand. For years I scrolled, drank, binged, overworked – chasing success that was unsustainable. Smiling on the outside, struggling on the inside.
Here’s what I learned: When you put wellbeing first, everything improves. Calming the nervous system and building new habits creates real peace and energy – not just for you, but for your family, colleagues, and community.
That’s why we built Lumenara – to share proven strategies and modern tools that help you navigate stress, recover faster, and grow with resilience and joy.
With the right skills, life feels lighter. You show up more honestly, break unhelpful patterns, and lead with steadiness – at home and at work. This program is for everyone: whether you want to build resilience, grow with intention, or find support in a tougher season.
All in just 2–3 hours a week.
Thanks for visiting. I look forward to working with you.
Dr. Dan Harrison
Co-Founder, Lumenara

Meet Your Facilitator
Dr Dan Harrison - Psychologist, Coach, and Co Founder of Lumenara
This toolkit started as something I built for myself. After burning out, I found myself stuck in a cycle of pressure, disconnection, and performance - while pretending everything was fine.
What changed? I stopped trying to fix myself and started learning how to work with myself. Through neuroscience, mindfulness, and simple, somatic tools, I rebuilt from the inside out. Slowly. Practically. Honestly.
Now I guide others through that same kind of shift. I bring the science (PhD in Psychology, Harvard Medical School training), the leadership experience, and the lived reality of big transitions. I'm also deepening my practice through current mentorship in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach -- an experience that continues to enrich how I support others. What matters to me most? Giving people tools that actually work - especially when life feels messy.
This program is for anyone ready to support their wellbeing with clarity, steadiness, and a nervous system that’s not always in overdrive.

Options to Support You
Whether life’s going great and you’re ready to level up your mindset, or you're feeling stretched and need some support - this series meets you right where you are.
The ADR Model: A Practical Development Framework
Transform your patterns from the inside out — with Awareness, Disruption, and Reinforcement.
Awareness
Recognise patterns, sensations, and emotions as they arise — without judgment. Learn to listen to your body’s signals before they shout.
Disruption
Gently interrupt old loops with body-based, breath-based, or thought-based techniques. This is where stuckness starts to shift.
Reinforcement
Solidify new patterns through practice, visualisation, and reflection. This is how we make new defaults feel natural.
