Regulate & Relate:

You can't relate well until you can regulate. Here's how to do both.

A free online workshop with Dr. Rachel & her partner Darius Moghaddam

Learn how to move from reactivity to grounded connection so you can feel safer in your own body and in your relationships.

You know those moments when:

  • You get suddenly activated and say something you don’t mean

  • You shut down, go quiet, and later wish you had spoken up

  • An innocent comment from a partner or friend sends you into a spiral

  • Conflict leaves you feeling alone, misunderstood, or “too much”

Most of us were never taught how to track our nervous system, regulate our emotions, and communicate in ways that build trust instead of disconnection.

This workshop is designed to change that—gently, practically, and clearly.

What This Workshop Is

A 90-minute free online experience where you’ll learn simple, powerful tools to:

  • Understand what’s actually happening inside you when you get triggered

  • Soothe and regulate your nervous system in real time

  • Communicate your needs, boundaries, and emotions without blame or shutdown

  • Create more safety, connection, and honesty in your relationships

You’ll leave with concrete practices you can use the next time you’re activated, instead of defaulting to old patterns.

What You’ll Learn:

1. Self-Awareness: Seeing Your Patterns Clearly

  • The difference between triggered you and resourced you

  • How your history and attachment patterns show up in the present

  • A simple self-inquiry framework to notice what’s happening before you explode, withdraw, or fawn

2. Emotional Regulation: From Overwhelmed to Grounded

  • What your nervous system is doing during conflict or activation

  • A toolkit of regulation practices you can use in the moment (breath, body, and attention-based)

  • How to stay with your feelings without getting lost in them

3. Healthy Communication: Speaking So You Can Be Heard

  • How to share your truth without blame, criticism, or shutdown

  • How to name a boundary or a need in a clear, loving way

  • Simple language templates for “hard conversations”

4. Integrating It All in Real Relationships

  • How to repair when something has gone off the rails

  • How to come back to connection with yourself and with others

  • How to keep practicing so these tools become your new normal

Meet Your Facilitators

Rachel

Rachel is a psychologist, relationship educator, and facilitator devoted to helping people build secure, deeply connected relationships. Her work blends attachment theory, nervous system regulation, somatic psychology, authentic relating, and spiritual practice into a practical approach that helps people heal old relational patterns and create lasting intimacy.

She is passionate about emotional honesty, repair after conflict, and teaching that secure love is a skill that can be learned rather than something people either have or don't. Through therapy, coaching, courses, and experiential groups, she helps individuals and couples move beyond survival strategies into more authentic, emotionally connected relationships.

Outside of work, she's deeply committed to her own growth, creativity, and building a life rooted in love, community, purpose, and freedom.

Darius

Darius is an authentic relating facilitator and tea practitioner who creates spaces that invite presence, curiosity, and genuine human connection. His work centers around slowing down, cultivating awareness, and helping people experience themselves and others more directly through conversation, ritual, and community.

He's naturally playful, relational, and interested in the richness of human experience. His facilitation encourages people to move beyond performance and into authenticity, using T-Group practice as a vehicle for mindfulness, intimacy, and meaningful change.

His style emphasizes personal freedom, exploration, and meeting each moment with openness while fostering communities where people can connect more deeply with themselves and one another.

Together

Rachel and Darius are relationship educators, facilitators, and partners who combine psychology, nervous system science, authentic relating, and contemplative practice to help people experience deeper intimacy.

Together they create transformative experiences—from workshops and immersions to relational communities—that teach people how to regulate their nervous systems, communicate honestly, repair conflict, and build relationships that are both deeply loving and emotionally resilient.

Their work bridges clinical psychology with lived relational practice, offering participants not just concepts, but direct experiences of connection, vulnerability, and growth. Rather than teaching "perfect communication," they help people develop the capacity to stay present through discomfort, navigate differences with compassion, and transform conflict into opportunities for greater closeness.

Their vision is to cultivate a culture where authenticity, emotional courage, and secure connection become everyday ways of living—not just relationship skills, but a way of being.
