EVRYMAN utilizes the latest research on stress, trauma, polyvagal theory, and attachment theory to use our physiology not as a hindrance but as an untapped asset. Rather than ignore our physiological and emotional responses, we develop skills that make them our allies.

The work of scientists and clinicians such as Stephen Porges, Ph.D., Peter Levine, Ph.D., Sue Johnson, Ph.D., and Richard Schwartz, Ph.D., fostered the development of the EVRYMAN Method.

There are many theories and prescriptions on who a man should be and how he should behave. Some are helpful. At EVRYMAN, we focus on connecting men with disconnected or underutilized resources. Stress, trauma, a lack of secure connection, and societal expectations cause us to create survival strategies that work until these coping mechanisms sabotage our health, happiness, and our relationships.

Attempting to control an unwanted behavior or feelings can have limited benefits. Addressing the psychophysical origins allows the need for survival behavior to dissolve away. When we downregulate our sympathetic and dorsal vagal shutdown (stress) response, we can better experience the parasympathetic response of relaxation and connection.

Men quickly discover that when taught how the body behaves, with a bit of guided practice, previously unchangeable behaviors change. When physiological and emotional causes are addressed, change is more than sustainable. A natural homeostatic state is restored.

EVRYMAN Science applies recent research to help men help themselves. We won’t tell you who you should be. We assist you in using all your resources to rebuild yourself and your life the way you want. As you hone your skill in using your physiological response, you are training to be an elite emotional athlete.
