"Early on I was so ashamed of being seen that I would shake and go into a laughter reaction that wasn't really laughter. I was scared that talking to me would damage you. That I was too much to survive. You never flinched. You labeled and narrated what was happening in me that no one could stay present with with total detachment. Once, I started falling apart. But you saw this and you just...hung up on me. This is when you became my hero. I knew then that you were strong enough to protect yourself from me. And then, the next week you went on as if it didn't impact you at all, with no follow up or review, nothing. You wouldn't let me process it with you at all. This is why I was able to go to places with you I've never gone with anyone else." A

Q: Why do you work with early experiences when we are adults?

A: The body records events and protective responses that get into the primitive brain. These protective responses show up in adult life and create havoc until integrated and understood. It is the default behavior under stress, and is from infancy or childhood.

Q: What if I don't remember anything from my childhood?

A: Totally OK, because your bodymind remembers. The work is to access this consciously. That is some of the unique methods of this course. 

Q: You talk a lot about being responsible for yourself. What if it really is the other person's bad behavior?

A: Working consciously with your own imprints gives you the ground to be able to set boundaries, know what is yours and not yours, and give grounded feedback. You then have choice about whether a relationship is sustainable. You can't know that when your own shock imprints are active.

Q: What do you mean about shock imprints and why does it matter?

A: Shock indicates a time when you were overwhelmed and out of control, maybe even "left your body," or left your ability to think clearly and take action. It indicates an internal freeze response and a kind of dissociation.

Q: Time zones and Course sessions...I live in UK. Are live course times flexible? Can I watch later?

A: I offer 12or1 PM MST time classes because people sign up from all over the world.  Europeans are attending later at night while Australians and New Zealanders are coming on very early. Classes are recorded so you can always watch later. You have access to a membership site that holds many resources, including videos of previous classes, reflection exercises, meditations, and the course content videos.

Q: So I learn all these tools. How do they make a difference?

A: It's not just the understanding. It's the felt sense you will get once you start working with your own imprints. This is the experiential embodiment piece, and that's when lasting change can happen. 

Q: If I do all this work myself, how do I know I am ready for relationship?

A: Unwrapping shock patterns allows natural life force to flow through. Healthy connection is a human need. You will start to feel differently once you have reframed your fear and protective patterned behaviors into something functional for your well being.  

Q: What if I am triggered by this deeper work?

Q: How long can I access this material for study?

A: You have a full year so you can revisit the material as much as you need to. It might take awhile to get inside your own patterns to find the relief. It is so worth the journey!

Q: I am studying counseling. Will there be handouts/ worksheets , study aids etc ?

A: You will get access to a membership site which has reflective questions, reading assignments, videos, and movement explorations.
