A Fierce Love Introduction to Resolving your Clients Repetitive Patterns and Gaining Tools to Work with Trauma and Body Memory

Are you tired of going round and round talking about the same issues with your clients? Or meeting the same blocks and rigidity in their body or emotions and not knowing what to do with it?  


Wouldn't it be great to have a way to resolve these patterns via an ancient and intelligent system inbuilt into every one of your clients?


And in a way that increases mindfulness, self-awareness,  presence and an improved quality of life? 


In this training you'll learn...

✔️ How the brain lays down repetitive patterns, behaviours and feelings states that can be worked with via the map of the nervous system,

✔️ How to work with body memory so your client doesn't need to re-tell or re-traumatise in order to heal,

✔️ How befriending the survival structures of the body and the ego can create a pathway to the soul,

✔️ The keys you need to embody to help your very heady or resistant clients to drop into presence and listening to their body,

✔️ A tool kit to work with trauma within your scope of practice,

Delivered online

With a strong leaning to practical implementation

✔️ Written and visual content and bonus material provided before the 1 day workshop,

✔️ 1 day boutique workshop - numbers are kept small so you have plenty of space for Q+A and skill practicing in the zoom break-out rooms,

✔️ Private Facebook community to find other students to practice your skills with,

✔️ Access to Amanda (on the Facebook group) in the weeks after the workshop for any Q+A,

✔️ A follow-up call 2 weeks later for Q+A and refining what you've learnt.

WHO RUNS THIS WORKSHOP?

Hi, I'm Amanda Patterson

Amanda Patterson is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Attunement and Attachment Therapist, Essence Coach and creator of the 10month Somatic Therapy Certification. 

"Over many years of training and working with people I've seen up close how unprocessed trauma (in its many forms) disconnects us from ourselves and from our natural state of wellbeing. I'm passionate about the process of re-knitting the Spirit into the flesh and into our human lives, bringing us back into connection (on all levels) to anchor more fully in the here and now.

The body is a place of such wisdom, depth, and intelligence. And understanding and using the physiology of the nervous system and attachment programming can make a huge difference in how well we live and heal... And how well we can serve our clients.

I look forward to sharing what I know with you"


"Amanda you blew my mind with your generosity of sharing your knowledge and actual experience.  I loved cementing and growing my love for the wisdom of the body. Finding new ways to listen, and understanding how to guide someone gently though trauma and unreleased emotion, so that the body can release naturally and we can begin to befriend the whole spectrum of feelings." - Jody, Health Coach

FAQ

  • Do I have to attend the entire workshop day?

    It's highly recommended that you carve out the full 7hours on the 15th May to get the most out of the interactive nature of the training. If you cant make it to the full day for any reason, the recording of the training and all the resources will be uploaded here in the Thinkific platform.

  • Will the workshop and/or Zoom call be recorded if I'm unwell or unable to make it?

    Yes, all classes will be recorded and shareable with everyone in the training.

  • What is your refund policy?

    There is a 50% refund up until 7 days before the workshop, after which there are no refunds.

  • What happens if I cant make it to the follow-up Zoom call?

    You can send through any reports or questions 24hrs before the Zoom call and Amanda will answer them for you on the call.

  • Is this a certification training?

    No, this is not a certification training. But it will give you the framework and tools to work with trauma and body memory in an effective and confident way.

  • I can't make this date but really want to come.. are you running another workshop soon?

    No, Im not planning on running another introduction training soon. I will be beginning a Certificate training within the next few months though which will take you much deeper into the skills sets. If you want to be informed when details and registrations open for that one, please email Amanda on [email protected] and she'll send you details when it's live.

  • Is this training suitable if I've never done any somatic training?

    As a practitioner training, there is a basic level of psyche/mind/body awareness assumed. If you are unsure if the content will be right for you, please email Amanda on [email protected] to check.

  • Is this training suitable if I've done lots of somatic trainings?

    In short, yes. Some of the information on the physiology will be familiar (as that doesn't change), but Amanda's tool set is unique; combining Somatic Experiencing, Attachment trauma, parts dialogue, Essence coaching, energetic healing, bodywork and her extensive history in self-development.

  • Can I call myself "trauma informed" after this training?

    This training help you to be "trauma aware". (The phases are; trauma aware > trauma informed > trauma specific treatment). It will give you background and tools to be aware of how trauma is created and held in the body and nervous system, with foundational tools for assisting regulation in the nervous system and easier embodiment. It is not comprehensive enough to call yourself "trauma informed" unless you have also done previous trainings. If you are interested in something deeper, I would recommend my 6 month Certification in order to be fully trauma informed. Please email [email protected] if you'd like to be informed of the details of this training when they're released.

Testimonials

I gained so many new skills and tools I could take away and apply to my own clients

Treysi Orion - Transpersonal Counsellor

Amanda delivered theory and practical tools in such a succinct and easy to understand way that I felt I gained so many new skills and tools I could take away and apply to my own clients as a Transpersonal Counsellor.

. For my own healing journey I gained new insights and understanding of patterns still present in my nervous system and body. I would highly recommend this training for anyone curious about the nervous system and our ‘animal body’ and/or anyone who wants to deepen their skills as a therapist regardless of modality.

Deeply important information for clinicians, beautifully presented.

Georgie - Psychologist

I did the Somatic Therapy training last weekend and it was absolutely worthwhile. Amanda Patterson knows her stuff. Deeply important information for clinicians, beautifully presented. Highly highly recommend - Georgie, psychologist

Professional, embodied, wise, loving and insightful

Claudine - Transpersonal Counsellor and Womens Sexual Wellness Guide

I totally loved the course. Professional, embodied, wise, loving and insightful. It was a real joy and inspiration to be in the training with you! ... and best of all, we have a zoom follow call still to come! Thank you 🙏 ✨🙏

I've seen a deepening of how I work as well as my clients results

Jerika - Soul-led coach and Psychic

Amanda's workshop was a beautiful and powerful (much like Amanda herself) learning experience... Simple and powerful somatic experiencing tools were presented in a clear and grounded way. I've already started integrating what I've learned into how I work with clients and have seen a deepening of how I work as well as my clients results.

You blew my mind with your generosity of sharing your knowledge and actual experience.

Jody - Shiatsu Therapist and Circle Guide

Amanda you blew my mind with your generosity of sharing your knowledge and actual experience.

I loved cementing and growing my love for the wisdom of the body. Finding new ways to listen, and understanding how to guide someone gently though trauma and unreleased emotion, so that the body can release naturally and we can begin to befriend the whole spectrum of feelings.

I wish I had known about you when I was first in Therapy! I am looking forward to integrating what I have learnt and using it and even diving in some more.

I can see how somatic tools help empower a client ..

Dee Dee - Coach

What I loved about your workshop was how professionally it was delivered from beginning to end.
I loved the way you described how you would work with a client from the start of a session. Your delivery was really clear for me too and I learned heaps of great techniques and tools that I can use with my own clients. I feel this is an aspect of therapy that is missing from my coaching/counselling delivery.

I can see how somatic tools help to empower a client to find awareness/acceptance of their felt-sense and internal world and in achieving this, to find a way of releasing the grips of trauma. Thank you so much for a really enlightening day!!
