Off-Switch group programme
The Off-Switch Group with Ugis
You want to say what you mean, stop carrying work through the evening or face something you have been avoiding. Over 12 weeks, you learn and practise the method in your own life, with Ugis leading every weekly live Zoom meeting.
12 live meetings, once a week, lasting 90–150 minutes each. Allow 30–60 minutes a day for independent practice.
Tell Ugis what you want to work on and ask whether the group is a good fit.

Every group meeting is led by Ugis Strauss
I created the Off-Switch Method. In the group, I teach through the situations you bring, show how to apply the technique and guide the next step. What you encounter in your practice helps me adjust the pace for the group.

Who the group programme is for
- 01
The same reaction keeps turning up in different situations. You want to work on the pattern, not only the latest incident.
- 02
You want to learn with a small group without having to tell your whole life story.
- 03
You can make time for independent practice between live Zoom meetings.
- 04
You want to check the difference in your actual life, not only feel better during a meeting.
Your 12 weeks
What you practise and test during the 12-week programme
The point is not to become very good at attending Zoom. Each week, you learn with the group, practise with a situation, memory or worry of your own, and bring back what happened.
Inside a meeting — an example
Suppose you bring a question about saying yes to your manager when you meant no. We can look at the precise point where the response starts: a tone, a look or the fear of displeasing the other person. I show how to work with that smaller target and check it again. Someone else may recognise the same sequence in a different situation and apply it to their own work. The next test is the conversation outside the meeting.
How meetings and daily practice work →Here is what you work on over the 12 weeks, and what you check along the way.
- 01Weeks 1–2
Manage a specific reaction
Action
Learn the tool and begin with one situation you can work with.
Check
Can you notice the reaction earlier and reduce it independently?
- 02Weeks 3–5
Reduce the strain you carry
Action
Work with what keeps you tense or on alert between difficult moments.
Check
Is there less background tension making each new situation harder?
- 03Weeks 6–8
Work through connected reactions
Action
Work with past episodes and imagined future situations.
Check
When you return to the same memory or future situation, does it still set off the old reaction?
- 04Weeks 9–12
Put the change into practice
Action
Test what is different in conversations, decisions, boundaries, sleep and the things you do.
Check
Is choice available where the reaction used to arrive automatically?
Group or private
How the group programme differs from private 1:1 work
In the group
Ugis leads a shared sequence. You apply the method to your own experiences, practise independently and bring back the situations where the reaction remains.
In private 1:1 work
Your meetings and next steps are built around your situation. Ugis chooses and adjusts what you work on, how deeply and in what order from what happens between your sessions.
