why

The current landscape of trauma work is composed of "professional" and "informed" populations of therapists and practitioners. 

With the unprecedented increase in both the number of practitioners and the variety of modalities claiming to be trauma-informed, there is now an urgent need for therapists, counselors and care professionals to gain tangible, practical tools for identifying and addressing trauma in their client and patient work beyond the management of symptoms.

The requirements for this level of change to evolve the care of human beings affected by trauma demand nothing less than an evolution in the practitioners themselves, rather than a set of more map-based trainings.

It is this goal that we have set our sites on. With 45 years of combined clinical experience with thousands of individuals, couples and groups, we bring a deep and thorough experience-based wisdom fueled by intense passion for empowering the caregivers and practitioners who meet trauma in those with whom they work.

As a bit of background, the idea for this rare kind of training has its origin in our many years of experience working with our clients "in their trenches." Independently, we had arrived at a similar understanding many years before we knew each other:  namely, that unless the physical and metaphysical origin of a traumatic severing of the psyche-body relationship was contacted consciously by the individual, the actual dissociative split ("trauma") would continue existing and negatively influencing the person from the deepest part of the person's body-psyche.

We also observed that all the intellectual understanding, therapy, emotional releasing, self-regulating techniques, energy-body clearing, high-frequency meditating, archetypal journeying and shamanic healing more often than not resulted only in an alleviation of symptoms. The entire range within which the trauma was unconsciously lodged remained untouched.

It is from these direct knowings that we have formed the curriculum for this training aimed toward those that work with others in a professional setting and those who are experienced in addressing their own and their loved ones' trauma. 

The result of our combining our gifts from the ground of our shared professional experience and healthy frustration at the lack of "transformational teeth" in most of today's trauma-aimed modalities, is this radically inclusive, penetrating and coherently-organized training we're bringing to the world for the first time. 

We joyfully encourage you to consider attending this in-depth, strongly experiential education into rarely-taught layers of human consciousness that are the soils for the roots - the source - of all trauma.
