Xis - We Have Your siX

Welcome to Xis:

4R’s - Your Private Partner in Regulating the Stress Response, Assessing Risk, and Amplifying Resilience

At Xis, we embody the military adage "have my siX," signifying unwavering support and having your back. Founded by Trisha Houghton, a private stress specialist, “Stressalist,” our mission is to offer coaching, education, and training to educate, reset, and prevent the side effects of a, “suck in go” dysregulated nervous system. We exist to discreetly improve the quality of life for those under constant high-stakes & high-stress, including elite military personnel and corporate professionals. With a heart for people and a passion for innovative approaches, Trisha has developed very tactical, out-of-the-box techniques and programs from her 15 years of working in crisis and trauma.

***While Xis is not affiliated with the military, Trisha has earned the trust as a private and reputable resource for the unique challenges faced by Special Operations Forces (SOF), including Navy SEALs, transitioning and active duty service member communities. Her goal is to ensure that everyone in recurrent fight/flight scenarios, from military personnel to top executives, knows about NSD, what will affect them and is equipped not just to survive, but to regulate, recover, and thrive, enjoying life to the fullest.

Trisha currently works with Special Operations Forces (SOF), Navy SEALs, active duty, and transitioning service members and her passion extends beyond the military, offering executive coaching, training, education, and consulting programs to corporate professionals facing high-performance stress.

***Xis addresses issues that include bone tired, brain fog, relational problems, burnout, retention issues, and declining leadership by creating tactical programs where clients reclaim their vitality and achieve lasting regulation.

At Xis, we also advocate for comprehensive mental health training that military members are currently not receiving. Trisha identifies gaps in access and develops programs to ensure there are, "no more half-trained soldiers." She has also pioneered new methods to assess the risk of suicide, burnout, health or work crisis, and more.

Xis is dedicated to supporting you with customized strategies and continuous guidance, ensuring you always have someone who truly has your back.

Trainings and Assessments

  • Regulating: The Nervous System Dysregulation Education and Prevention Training Program ©

    A two-day in-person training on Nervous System Dysregulation (NSD). It explains what NSD is, while addressing its link to readiness, national security, retention and of course, leadership deterioration and suicide.

    We then educate and train to learn techniques towards the paths to reset and prevention. Thereby proactively preventing deterioration of leader capabilities, mental health, relationships, career, and even suicide.

  • INNERsight © - “No More Half Trained Soldiers”

    A unique training that provides the other ½ of soldiers training; mental health + awareness. This program trains soldiers in internal awareness, developing what Trisha has coined, Internal Situational Awareness (ISA).

    Training includes the tools needed to appropriately deal with what they experience to increase survivability, lethality, team and mission success, while achieving NDS objectives and decreasing POW risk.

    ***This is easily modified to enhance corporate leadership.

    THRIVE-ID w/ Trigger ID © + PreCrisis.ai
    Comprehensive Wellness & Crisis Prevention

    THRIVE-ID and PreCrisis.ai combine to create a powerful assessment and crisis detection tool.

    How It Works:

    THRIVE-ID provides a comprehensive inventory to assess risk/threats to thriving. THRIVE - ID identifies which wellness factors are affecting your the most alongside an innovative trigger identification assessment.
