Over the years, I’ve sat with countless clients who’ve left toxic, manipulative, and emotionally abusive relationships. They were intelligent, resilient, and deeply self-aware – yet they questioned their reality. Am I overreacting? Did I make this up? Why can’t I trust myself anymore?” That’s the insidious effect of gaslighting and relationship trauma. It leaves clients second-guessing their truth, confused, disconnected form their bodies, and struggling to feel safe in their own lives. And I’ll be honest – in the beginning I felt stuck with these clients. Talk therapy and insights weren’t enough. They needed tools to help regulate their nervous system, repair attachment wounds, and reconnect with themselves. But clinical level training that showed me how to actually do that was hard to find. So I spent hundreds of hours researching, found the best approaches and started using them in sessions. And it changed how I practice. Clients were finally finding words for experiences they had doubted, reconnecting with their bodies, and beginning to trust themselves again. The results were so transformative it led me to write my book Gaslighting Recovery for Women. And now in this workshop, I want to share the IFS therapy techniques, somatic interventions and attachment repair strategies that made the biggest difference in my work with survivors. When you join me, I’ll walk you through everything step by step so you can: If you’ve ever felt the frustration of watching a client remain stuck in the cycle of relational trauma despite their hard work in therapy, this training is for you. Purchase now to get the specialized training you need to help these clients truly break free and reclaim their lives!
