Coming Back
to You
Are painful experiences from childhood holding you back?
Discover an empowering process that enables you to live more fully and be more authentically you.
Can you relate to any of these experiences?
You find it’s hard to know what you feel or what you want.
Even when you do have a sense of that, it's hard to actually voice it — let alone act on that inner knowing.
Then, when you finally act on your inner knowing, a crowd of inner critics swoops in, leaving you full of doubt and suffering in pain.
It feels like you keep getting in your own way and you’re tired of it!
For many of us, we may have grown up in environments in which we had to hush our inner knowing and what I call our knowing no as a way of trying to:
keep the peace
stay safe
receive affection.
Understandably, needing to do that over and over again may have caused us to stray farther and farther away from ourselves— not because we wanted to but because we had to.
It's disorienting isn't it?
It’s incredibly confusing when doing what’s right feels wrong; whereas doing what’s wrong feels strangely right, more comfortable and less risky.
No wonder it's hard to make decisions, choose directions or navigate tough discussions!
The patterns and habits we perceive as "bad," "wrong" or “in the way” are often healthy responses to an unhealthy environment or traumatic experience(s). They’re not random — and you’re not flawed.
And while those strategies may have kept us safe, they often came at a cost. We weren’t given the space and support to:
Have our feelings without getting caught up in them
Value our inner knowing and act on it
Savor pleasant experiences … and more!
These are skills we have to learn, so we can live more fully and authentically.
Over the six weeks, you’ll learn how to …
Cultivate resilience so you can meet stressful experiences with more clarity and confidence
Turn towards and be with BIG feelings (such as grief and anger) in a gentle and safe way so you don't get taken over
Savor the feel of pleasant experiences as a way of resourcing and nourishing yourself
Discover what makes triggers so darn triggering and what you can do when triggered
Develop an empathic relationship between you and a younger you who may still be suffering in some way
Transform your relationship with inner critics so they ease up and you can move forward— without pushing yourself
Tap into the body feel of "Yes! This fits" as a way of reconnecting with your body's wisdom and inner knowing
Exercise agency by following your body's process and honoring what feels right for you

The creation of this course is rooted in my training as both a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP) and Certified Inner Relationship Focusing Professional & Trainer.
Somatic Experiencing® is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and stress disorders developed by Peter A Levine, PhD.
Inner Relationship Focusing is an experiential, body-oriented process of self-awareness and emotional healing developed by Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin
As a result of my SE training, I bring a unique trauma-informed approach to teaching Inner Relationship Focusing courses.

If this quote resonates with you:

-
Are currently suffering from severe trauma symptoms and experiencing a lot of dysregulation
