True somatic trauma work

Now a lot of teacher trainings will say nah, go for the jugular and look good on ya.

The way I teach this work is shut up and slow down

We call this particular skill, sequencing…

Where we are going slither by slither toward the more direct edge of the trauma experience itself.

Stay with me

If talking about, talking about the trauma is a lot…
Let’s start there. It’s already creating a charge then stay there.

Help them stay in the discomfort and find a way to resource or be with this until it’s more tolerably, then slither closer.

Their system will thank you for it. Pacing is so important in this work.

There is a time and a place for a big process, there isn’t a time and a place for rushing.

Let’s build capacity and invite some discomfort but you don’t need to infiltrate their nervous system just because you know a good process for this trauma.

Slow down cowboy

One final stop. Sunshine Coast.

One thing has stood out in every room so far.

Facilitators with 20, 30, even 50+ years of experience...

who had never fully answered this question:

WHY ARE YOU ACTUALLY A THERAPIST?

Not the polished answer, but the real answer.

They can see their people-pleasing.
Their desire to fix.
Their need to do things well.

They understand their triggers.
They know their wounds.

What was hiding underneath was the disconnect between their attachment wounds and why they are actually in this industry after all.

One facilitator finally claimed:

“I've spent my whole life trying to be loved, so I learnt to help."

Another realised:

"I make sure people feel seen and heard because I never truly felt seen and heard myself."

For me?

I needed to be needed.
And I got impeccable at making sure people needed me.

The dark truth:

We seek out this profession because of an unconscious desire to work through the sad reality that you had a less-than-nurturing experience and had less than ideal amounts of places to go to for support when you needed it most.

The more we can bring this shadow to light… to make this unconscious, conscious, then we can refine in ways you wouldn't believe.

Join me for one last stop of UNDERNEATH: An Advanced Immersion for Trauma Therapists at Sunshine Coast.

What are you protecting by not saying it?

A lot of facilitators know exactly what wants to be said.
They’re just afraid to take the risk.

And it usually isn’t about the words.
It’s about the unknown of what happens next.

What if:

• it doesn’t land?
• they get upset?
• it doesn’t resonate?
• they become defensive?

And underneath that...

What if:

• they think I’m a bad therapist?
• I pushed too hard?
• I got it wrong?

So what do we do instead?

“Fair enough.”
“I get that.”

We rescue.
We move on.
We soften it.
We fall silent.

Often doing the same thing many others have done throughout that client’s life...

avoiding it.
Enabling it.

Not bringing forward the thing that needs to be seen.
Yet so often the breakthrough lives in that moment.

The moment where we are willing to vulnerably bring something difficult into the room.

If you can’t tolerate:

Tension.
Discomfort.
Activation.
Disconnection.
Getting it wrong.

Then without realising it, you’ll keep the client inside what feels safer for you, not what serves them.

This is relational work.

Sometimes it asks us to lean in.

To walk the edge.
To take a risk.

Some of the most profound moments in therapy happen when a facilitator is grounded enough to say the thing that feels hardest to say.

And then stay present for what happens next.

Never forget...

We’re not just modelling insight.
We’re modelling repair.

If you’re wanting to refine your ability to stay in these moments, hold more depth, and trust yourself when the room gets uncomfortable, come join us inside Refinement Roundtable.

This is exactly the work we explore together.

Perfectionism isn't just about getting things right.

It's about what we're trying to avoid when we don't.

The over-giving.
The over-preparing.
The over-explaining.

A whole lot of effort in service of not failing, not disappointing, not being exposed.

But pressure and presence aren't friends.

And often the very thing trying to protect us from getting it wrong ends up limiting the depth and connection available in our work.

This is the kind of work we explore inside Refinement Roundtable.

Comment PATTERN for alll access to the training

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.
