Endorsements by Calm in the Storm participants
Dr. Pennington’s Proactive Stress Response process literally changed my life. It helped me recondition my confusing physical, mental, and emotional responses during stressful panic attacks, which I no longer have. It taught me how to stop, breathe, relax, and develop the muscle memory that brought me the clarity I needed to cope in stressful situations.
I am more productive in so many areas of my life and career as a result of this course. Rob’s assessments and worksheets are wonderfully instructive. The production is beautiful and the content clear and concise. I wholeheartedly recommend Calm in the Storm program to anyone seeking more calm and resilience in their life or work.
Every lesson was not only a calming experience in itself, I learned so many techniques I use everyday to recreate that calm in my life. Each lesson has practical takeaways I was able to immediately apply. For example, I discovered so many times I could relax through my day that I did not know existed. This alone has made a profound difference in my overall success.
