This sits inside the deep trauma archives in AUTHENTICATE, the trauma facilitation training that actually leaves you feeling trauma trained

From control, to people pleasing to avoidance and self-criticism this training gets you ro see through the trauma lens.

What’s happening underneath
The survival, the fear, the avoiding
And what to do about it.

A lot of facilitators know what needs to be said but are a afraid to take the risk to say it

This isn’t about the word it’s more about the unknown of what happens next

What if:
It doesn’t land
The get upset
It doesn’t resonate
They get defensive

And what if:
They think im a bad therapist
I pushed to hard
I got it wrong

So what do we do instead:

Say fair enough,
I get that,
Rescue
Move on
Fall silent

Probably the same things that many others in their life do, ignore it and enable it.

However, a lot of the time it’s taking the risk to be vulnerable to share something hard or edgy is what creates the depth, the breakthrough.

If you can’t handle
Tension
Discomfort
Activation
Disconnection
Getting it wrong

Then you will continue to unconsciously keep the client inside what feels more safe for YOU not them.

This is relational work, we have to be willing to take some risks, we have to honour the power of leaning in and walking the edges when appropriate

The most profound moments in the room happen when you are willing to stay grounded enough to speak your truth, even if it could rupture.

Stay present with what happens next, and never forget, we are always modelling repair.

In the East, mastery is passed down, lineage to lineage. In the West, we often learn modules, techniques, and then we move on.

I always craved to just sit in awe, be led and taught by true leaders of the trauma field who actually pass down their wisdom, and immerse myself with the wizard.

Now I’ve sat with some incredible leaders, but never in the true intimate way that I longed for.
Reiki lineage was the closest which is where I got a taste of what can trickle down.
The East passes down lineage to lineage, like pranayama or shamanism.
Whereas in the west, we often learn through courses, lectures, and modules.

I’m lucky to have powerful mentors and have trained in many ways, but when I asked the top dogs in the field if they will sit with me 1-1 they said no. They don’t see the true value.

AUTHENTICATE is bridging that gap, where we reclaim what’s sacred, lineage mentorship in trauma work, to create legacies that ripple.

What I bring is everything I’ve learned over 11 years, mentoring from someone who embodies the work, who lives his model, so that it can be carried forward, not just passed on knowledge, but as a living legacy.

I won’t just show you the trauma archives and all the teachings there;
I will sit with you, guide you to become the work, not just learn it.

Sometimes the thing keeping people stuck is the relentless pressure they place on themselves to not be stuck.

Sometimes, stuckness hits purely because the should monster is so large and in charge.

The debilitating voice that constantly says:
You should be further along.
You should do more.
You should be better.
You should be like them.

I’m sorry to say…

It’s often just fear and shame disguised as motivation.

If I pressure myself enough:
we won’t fail,
we’ll avoid rejection,
we won’t get judged,
we’ll finally be safe.

The problem though…

The should monster often gives you the very thing you’re trying to protect yourself from.

The pressure creates exhaustion.
The criticism creates shame.
The urgency creates disconnection.
The perfectionism creates collapse.

What once protected you…

eventually becomes debilitating.

And the trap is that most people respond to this by trying even harder.

More pressure.
More self-criticism.
More forcing.
More “fixing.”

But the grip just gets tighter.

The work is learning how to loosen the grip without losing the values underneath it.

Learning how to lead with compassion instead of intimidation.

Because sustainable change rarely happens through self-hatred/punishment

It happens when the nervous system finally stops feeling like it’s at war with itself.

Do you have a should monster?

Took me way too long to make this….

It doesn’t just show up on the algorithm, what to say, what to post, blah blah blah

Perfection grips in your work too.

“I need to get this right”

Along come the overs:
- Over-giving
- Over-preparing
- Over-explaining

The story goes….

If I can be good enough, prepared enough, impactful enough or perfect enough then I can avoid inadequacy and failure

Because underneath this…
if I fail,
I am not enough, I’ll be exposed.

Now we have a whole lot of pressure in the wrong:

If I make mistakes something is wrong
It’s not okay to be wrong
Don’t miss, don’t disappoint

This limits depth in your work because it requires a lot of effort and vigilance

Pressure and presence aren’t friends

Perfection is trying to protect you from failing and getting it wrong but can leave you with that very thing you’re terrified of.

The room loses intimacy and relational depth, it can be subtle but it matters

What if instead we worked towards your system feeling safe enough to just be there, imperfectly.

Most trauma therapists eventually realise this… more training wasn’t actually the missing piece.

Because even after the certifications, modalities and advanced trainings…

certain moments still don’t feel clean.

You explain too soon.
You subtly rush the process.
You work harder than the client.
You regulate emotion before it’s fully met.
You feel urgency when nothing is resolving yet.

Not because you’re a bad therapist.

Because at a certain stage of development…

the work moves underneath technique.

And this is the layer most professional development never really touches.

The part of the therapist that still grips.
Performs.
Explains.
Protects.
Needs to get it right.

That’s where refinement begins.

Eight Subtle Refinements in Trauma Facilitation

07/05/2026

One thing I do in an initial session that a lot of therapists don’t…

I want to know:

“What helps you feel deeply connected to someone?”

“Please tell me if I say something, do something, or even don’t do something that feels off.”

“I’m not going to get it right all the time… so let me know when it doesn’t land.”

Why?

Because I’m not trying to be the perfect therapist.

I’m trying to create a relationship where you don’t have to abandon yourself to stay connected.

Most people already come into therapy scanning:
Will I be too much?
Will they get me?
Will I be judged?
Will I be safe here?

So the ability to name rupture, awkwardness, disconnection, tension… matters.

That is the work.

Not just insight.
Not just techniques.

Relationship.

And honestly… if we can’t talk about what’s happening between us in the room, then we’ll probably just repeat what already happens outside the room too.

This is the kind of depth we refine inside my one day event, Underneath.

Phoebe came to Adelaide and this is what she walked away with:

It’s not just about the client.

It’s about what you bring into the room.

The subtle ways parts show up…
softening truth, saying things a certain way,
rushing in, rescuing, trying to be liked.

It's not obvious, but always there.

What landed for her was slowing down enough to actually see it.

Not as something to fix…
but something to become aware of.

Because the clearer you are in the room…
the deeper your clients can actually go.

That’s the work.

Not adding more.
Refining what’s already there.

This argument is so boring.

It’s a really good marketing tool to give people hope for something different when they say talk therapy doesn’t work.

Talk Therapy or traditional therapy is being trash talked constantly coz of how it’s been put in a very small box.

I think people are maybe referring to pure TOP DOWN therapy that’s stays cognitive (mind based) and yes by itself might not give the full picture.

I would argue that purely BOTTOM UP (somatic, emotional, body based) on its own also doesn’t give the full picture.

We need embodiment meaning a beautiful mix of both.

Without meaning making (cognitive work) we wouldn’t be able to make sense of the body work and without emotional felt experience we can’t just rely on the mind.

So give it a rest. Dont get pulled in by this nonsense that one is better than the other. They both need each other.

If you didn’t like your therapist or your training in the traditional work then that’s fine. But don’t deny you don’t still use it and see its value, just know you have expanded and now incorporate a more holistic way of healing and facilitating.

If you don’t know what you’re talking about maybe don’t state your claims on this public app.

DISCLAIMER: I would never use CBT solely or primarily im not an uneducated rookie. But I am wise enough to know the truth, and that is I use it everyday alongside a lot of very necessary and essential various modalities, skills tools and authentic vulnerability
