Primal TrustReviews of primaltrust.org

I'm a licensed psychotherapist who has been participating in the free courses Dr Cat has been generously offering to practitioners interested in her methodology. I have found Dr Cat extremely helpful in defining how to work with a particularly tricky population; the population that "has tried everything" and knows so much but doesn't seem to get better. She is able to speak about this population with insight, authority and great compassion. I have found the Primal Trust courses and the website very well designed. While I have not participated in any classes or groups, due to time constraints, I can see that the level of support and holding available to participants is very comprehensive. I know I can refer my clients with great confidence to Primal Trust.

Love Primal Trust! I've done other similar programs but this one is really working for me. I love the live classes and emphasis on "bottom-up" nervous system work, like somatic movement and vagus nerve toning. I've been a member for 6 months and I've noticed a huge improvement in my nervous system regulation, even during a difficult life experience.

I am shocked to see there is anything less than 5 star reviews. It is a life changing program and would recommend it to anyone.

I’ve been with Primal Trust from the very beginning, and I can honestly say it has been one of the most meaningful and transformative programs I’ve ever done. When I started, I was already coming out of chronic Lyme and other diagnoses, but I was still very symptomatic and my nervous system was clearly stuck in long term survival mode. What makes Primal Trust different is that it doesn’t just throw “mindset” at you it addresses the deeper layers of chronic stress physiology, including concepts like the cell danger response, with clarity and depth. Dr. Cat’s presence and understanding are brilliant. She explains complex nervous system and stress patterns in a way that feels both grounded and deeply compassionate. The program itself is incredibly comprehensive, and most importantly, it is truly trauma informed. That matters because pushing through never works when the body is in chronic threat. For me, the biggest shift happened through Level 2: it helped me reconnect with my essence and build a strong “Adult main personality” (an adult-led inner system). That inner structure has made my nervous system more resilient, my choices more stable, and my healing feel sustainable rather than fragile. If you’re dealing with chronic symptoms, long term stress, or a nervous system that feels “stuck,” Primal Trust offers a complete framework with real depth and it’s delivered with care.

Primal Trust and the Regulate program is the most comprehensive, well-organized, and complete resource for nervous system dysregulation and brain retraining I have ever encountered. The community support and level of engagement offer unparalleled opportunities for growth. I have moved beyond just "healing symptoms"—that has actually become secondary. My ability to self-regulate has grown immensely, and I no longer use the tools just to push wounds away; this work is truly becoming my way of being. The tangible shifts in my health have been remarkable: Lyme & Energy: My Lyme symptoms have significantly improved, and my energy levels have stabilized and returned. I no longer feel held back by the exhaustion that once defined my days. MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity): I’ve gone from needing to sleep outdoors to barely noticing strong perfumes or fresh paint. I can finally sleep with my windows closed. Resilience: When I do have a reaction, it is far more manageable and much shorter in duration. Mental Health and Vitality: My depression and anxiety are significantly lower, and I’ve seen a deep improvement in my health and overall vitality. I feel more confident and connected to my true self. This program contains incredible depth and wisdom; Cathleen has created an ever-evolving platform for mutual transformation. Today, I work as a teacher and mentor for Primal Trust. I chose this path because I have personally lived the transformation that comes from the very principles I now share with others. I love this program and am so grateful for it.

I am a mother, nurse, and student nurse-midwife on my last year of my 3 year program. I have found Primal Trust to be such a comprehensive program for overall well-being, growth, and evolution. I will certainly be recommending this to patients, and I have even already recommended it to colleagues, friends, and family. This program feels genuine and sincere and you can feel the love and level personal growth and depth that Dr. Cat and her mentors have gone through. I am so glad that I had the chance to check things out with this free 2 month membership! On a more personal note, I found this program to be largely beneficial for my own healing. Some of the things Dr. Cat has taught have been so powerful for my own self-realization. I have never been so “seen”, with my chronic need for achievement and being between sympathetic and dorsal vagal for YEARS. My own nervous system finally shutdown and any amount of stress or stimulation would send me into a feeling of panic, impending doom, and dissociation. I was not able to work and some days I would need my husband to come home and be with our children because I felt such an overwhelming sense of impending doom. I spent thousands on doctors visits, lab tests, supplements, I was mostly told I was just anxious with a fast heart rate and offered beta blockers or SSRIs in conventional medicine and was told I had mold illness, MCAS, and reactivated EBV by an integrative/functional practitioner. I always just felt there was something so much more insidiously wrong. I felt “something is wrong with me” for such a long time. I have known about the sympathetic and parasympathetic states, but this level of knowledge and depth has transformed my view points and led to a deeper sense of self knowledge, self compassion, and the ability for energy and patterns in my body to shift and change. While out of work I decided to also being working on the trauma I had endured. I has been in talk therapy for years, but when I was in the Marine Corps I had done a little EMDR - my course of it with the therapist (who was the first person in my life, at the age of 21, that I ever felt truly saw me and cared for me as a human being) I was working with did not finish before my enlistment was up and I feel that played a role in my chronic activation and feeling of something not being right. The trauma I experienced in childhood I lived almost 10 years this way until just a few months ago when my body would no longer allow me to. Beginning ART and IFS in combination with eating a clean diet, and regulating my stress response via Primal Trust has helped me to feel calmer than I have in a long time. Thank you all for what you are doing for humanity, our healing, and the evolution of our consciousness.

Dr King's program is truly like no other! My nervous system has been on overdrive for the past 5ish years (and likely longer) when I was diagnosed with pudendal neuralgia. The response my body/mind has had in the several weeks I have been doing her program has been life changing. I have looked at other programs and her's is one of a kind...the slow step wise approach is beautifully laid out and you are able to move as slow as you need to through the program. There are so many avenues to meet people where they are at with their overactive nervous system, which truly makes hers stand out from all others. I definitely will be recommending this to my patients. Thank you for all that you do from the bottom of my heart!!

As someone who has done nervous system based therapy in the past I was looking for more information and how I could take things to the next level. I have found that Primal Trust has a wealth of information and knowledge, and Dr. Cat's teachings have helped shift my perspective on healing and nervous system. I am impressed by how much information was given in the How Healing Happens ebook and I am looking forward to continuing to learn!
