Question 1

Can I access the course materials forever, or only during the course?

Accepted Answer

Students who sign up for the Essential package can join the next cohort and keep lifetime access to the pre-recorded content and replay recordings. Rejoining a future cohort costs $600 afterward. Students in the Unlimited package receive lifetime access to future live cohorts, the community, and ongoing updates to the curriculum and protocol library.

Question 2

What is the balance between theoretical learning and practical exercises?

Accepted Answer

Each week blends theory and practice. The pre-recorded theory is intentionally concise and exists to give context for the protocols. The weekly live sessions are designed to be almost entirely experiential, which creates a stronger learning environment than passive teaching.

Question 3

How does this program differ from other self-improvement or professional development courses?

Accepted Answer

Most personal development courses emphasize top-down, mind-based tools such as mindfulness, visualization, or cognitive reframing. NSM emphasizes body-based approaches that are more effective for real-time regulation and addressing root causes. The curriculum is built around self-experimentation, consistent practice, and audio-first delivery that can be used while walking or outside. Many students come for the materials and stay for the community.

Question 4

Does it matter what time-zone I’m in?

Accepted Answer

Weekly live calls with Jonny happen on Fridays at 10am PST, and attendance is optional. Recordings and async Q&A are shared, so students in Australian or Asian time zones can still get the full experience.

Question 5

What is the weekly time commitment required for the course?

Accepted Answer

For the live cohort, set aside a minimum of 2.5 hours per week for five weeks. That includes 45 minutes of theory and workbook exercises, 45 minutes of protocol practice, and 60 minutes for the Friday live session. You can also add relational dojos and guest masterclasses if you want a deeper immersion.

Question 6

Is there a refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you decide within the first week that Nervous System Mastery didn’t deliver on its promise, you can request a full refund with no questions asked.

Question 7

I’m experiencing anxiety and/or panic attacks, will this course help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A core part of the training is building enough interoceptive awareness to notice upstream cues before panic escalates. Emotional fluidity practices also help address the repressed emotional material that often sits underneath chronic anxiety patterns.

Question 8

Can I get the enrollment fee reimbursed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A meaningful number of students receive partial or full reimbursement through work, personal development budgets, or health spending support. The team provides a reimbursement template to make the approval process simple.

Question 9

What are the Relational Dojo Sessions?

Accepted Answer

These weekly alumni-hosted sessions act as a dojo for practicing interoceptive awareness, self-regulation, and emotional fluidity with other students. They’re inspired by relational practices like circling and t-group, and they help translate the material into everyday life.

Question 10

I’m recovering from burnout, will this course help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The course was designed after extensive one-on-one work with coaching clients recovering from varying levels of burnout. A central aim is helping students pay off accumulated emotional debt while rebuilding capacity.

Question 11

What scientific research or evidence backs the effectiveness of the techniques taught in the program?

Accepted Answer

The curriculum draws from peer-reviewed studies, literature reviews, and live feedback loops gathered from hundreds of clients and students. The protocols combine somatic tools, interoceptive practices, and applied polyvagal principles that have shown strong results in practice.

Question 12

I have ADHD, will this course help to manage my symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of students identify as neurodivergent, and improved interoception plus emotional regulation often meaningfully reduce ADHD symptoms. The program also includes community discussion threads and guest experts for going deeper.

Question 13

What methods or tools are used to assess progress throughout the course?

Accepted Answer

NSM uses the Nervous System Quotient self-assessment alongside pre-course and post-course surveys to track progress quantitatively.

Question 14

Do I need a wearable to measure my HRV?

Accepted Answer

No, but it is recommended. HRV is a strong proxy for nervous system resilience, and tracking resting heart rate, respiratory rate, and sleep quality can make progress more visible. Whoop, Oura, HeartMath, and Apple Watch all work well for this purpose.

Question 15

Is there a community aspect to the course?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The community is a core part of the experience, with active current and returning students plus many opportunities to learn from each other in real time.

Question 16

Is there anything I should do or read before starting the program to be better prepared?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is a recommended reading list and a curated Spotify playlist tied to the curriculum. It also helps to block time in your calendar for the pre-recorded material, live sessions, and integration work during the cohort.
