Relationships, Couples & Trauma Transformation
When I got to graduate school, I knew I wanted to focus on trauma.
I was buzzing with excitement to learn everything I could about becoming a trauma therapist. However, my idea of what I thought I needed to do to achieve that goal was way off.
All I wanted was someone to tell me that perfect trauma book I needed to read, or to show me what workshop I should be attending, or to point me to that amazing website with all of the trauma articles that was going to help me become the best trauma worker I could be.
Yes, I was misdirected, and as I think about it now, I cringe a bit.
I couldn’t see that in addition to doing each of those things I also should have been focusing on…me.
In other words, I should have been focusing on my own stuff.
But I didn’t really see the value in that. In fact, I was pretty sure that anything that had to do with me, personally, I had locked down and dialed in already.

This ebook is a beautiful, 50 page PDF download which is geared towards educating, supporting and inspiring those who are just staring out on their trauma-informed journey and looking to work with individuals who have been impacted by trauma.
In this ebook I provide a 4-pillar process that I’ve gleaned from over the 280+ podcast interviews I’ve done with the thought-leaders in the fields of trauma, addiction, mindfulness and yoga, to guide, to support you, and to inspire you as you begin your journey.
