You Will Learn How to Nurture...

Trust & Safety

Learn to communicate with confidence and leadership while fostering a gentle and client-led connection, shifting the narrative from, "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" through principles of shadow therapy and theoretical/practical unconditional positive regard.

A Strength-Based Approach

Learn to recognize, validate, and build upon your client's strengths: emotional, relational, thinking, + execution). Special focus on belief in healing from trauma and core competence and resilience.

Choice & Control

Learn to provide your client with opportunities to re-establish a sense of choice and control in their life while encouraging the expansion of familiar comfort zones to maximize opportunities to learn (while actively respecting individual limitations and levels of comfort).

Collaboration & Connection

Dive deep into the power of your client's collaboration and connection both with you within (and with others outside of) the therapeutic relationship. Inspire your client to create and diversity a social support web while pursuing the transformation process.

Trauma creates change you don't choose.

Healing creates change you do choose.

"Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood and untreated cause of human suffering."
