~ Why do some people develop trauma symptoms when others don’t, even if their situations have been similar? ~ How can memories suddenly resurface many years later? ~ What is the purpose of nightmares and flashbacks? ~ Why do we go to such lengths to avoid dealing with our trauma when, in the right hands, it’s eminently healable? ~ And how do the different healing methods work? This presentation answers all of these questions and provides a layman's framework to understand trauma – what it is, what it looks like, how to respond when it shows up how to conceptualize symptoms as an invitation to healing and growth.

A two part training series for coaches, therapists, medical professionals and all who hold sacred space, starting with a 2-hour introductory workshop, followed by a six week deep-dive class. Participants learn about the pyramid of traumatic experience - ranging from trauma that is going on now all the way through to prenatal, epigenetic and ancestral trauma; how to recognize traumatic reactions, and how to meet them when they arise in our clients, our kiddos and ourselves. The course is packed full of practical interventions that participants can safely deploy in their work and home.

There are three types of boundaries, and one of them gives the whole concept of boundaries a bad name. When we say "I'm drawing a boundary!" we usually mean, "I'm cutting off relationship with you", not "I'd like to have a better relationship with you." In this talk Jane explains where the concept of boundaries originated, the three types of boundaries and how they operate, and how we can manage our own boundaries to improve our relationships, our energy and our wellbeing in the world.
