For Therapists and Coaches who want to Offer Evolutionary Processes that are Safe and Effective for those with Trauma.

Your work can be so hugely transformational, but change can touch the deepest and trickiest places of wounding in your clients. 

What do you do when a client suddenly gets overwhelmed and unable to think or move out of a trigger?

How can you create sessions and groups that don't make things worse but also create profound, integrated changes for your clients?

And how can you actually Help your clients with tricky content rather than referring them to someone else or crossing your fingers that they'll get Some value out of your offers.


If you're  feeling out of your depth in your sessions - or worried that you wont know what to do if a client freezes or can't regulate their emotions - it can really shake your confidence and be frustrating, heartbreaking and...  sometimes even scary! 


You may already have explored trainings, read some books or watched youtube videos to educate yourself in how to be and work with trauma, but when it comes to real-life situations, you flounder and get triggered.  

There's a reason just gathering information (or doing lots of little courses) hasn't been enough...

Trauma and the nervous system are found in the body. So we must work via the body to master the skills.

Purely learning how to work with the nervous system without feeling, sensing, moving with the content until it is known and familiar is like trying to learn to dance by reading a book.



"Any genuine search must end in experience.
If you only know something mentally or intellectually, it will not stay with you" - Mooji

Embodied Experience is needed...

To absorb and build capacity from the inside-out.

In order to become truly trauma informed, you need to have time and space to practice the skills, observe them in action, and have your own nervous system experience the "dance steps" with someone who already knows how to dance.

This will teach your body how to feel and sense safety on the inside. And how to take charge of your responses so you can help your clients, not drown with them
With the right teacher, it will show you how to give the natural intelligence of your compassion and presence the steering wheel. So you have an embodied calm and confidence when creating trauma-informed processes and groups.

Because it's your nervous system (and how well regulated it is) that is your greatest ally in excellent client care.

And it's your nervous system that will build your confidence and credibility for deep and skilled work most effortlessly.

Let me help you discover the missing piece that's preventing your clients from moving past their biggest mental and emotional blocks.

(Even if you're confident with your skills in other ways)

> If you're worried that your sessions or processes might be making things worse for your clients rather than better,

> If you're struggling to maintain your own composure and not knowing what to do when a client freezes, goes numb or reacts out of proportion to the present moment,

> And if you love your embodied therapeutic or coaching work, but feel like you're missing some key pieces to access and work with your clients subconscious drives,

It's probably not because you're unskilled, without empathy or care, or needing to do some big new 3 year training. It's simply because a lot of what we've been taught about helping clients achieve transformation, totally neglects this role of the nervous system.

Which is why I'd like to invite you to this Trauma Informed Practitioner program

Where I'm going to show you exactly how to support your clients so they can develop more capacity, experience healing on a fundamental level, and achieve more lasting and powerful transformations.

Cause it's likely a lot simpler than you think to create trauma informed processes, feel relaxed and confident and able to support clients to work with trauma so your clients' intelligent bodies can do the healing for them. 

And you don't need to do a 3-year training or spend a fortune to do it.

What You'll Discover in the Trauma Informed Practitioner Program

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

✔️ Helping your clients create new resilience and possibilities via body intelligence,

✔️ Embodied nervous system mentoring via personal support with your own process, group witnessing, buddy and group processes, practitioner swaps and somatic-based inquiry.

✔️ The core skills of the Somatic Soul Method to take your clients from reactive or overly-heady, to responsive, present and available for radical changes.

✔️ How to manage the pace and intensity of a session so your client doesn’t need to numb out or become overwhelmed,

✔️ Experience personal breakthroughs with greater personal resilience and regulation, and increases in relational attunement and security

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

✔️ How to work less to find solutions and experience more flow and ease in your work,

✔️ The things you need to help your very heady or resistant clients to drop into presence and listening to their body, so their results come more and more from their intelligent body, and not so much from the ego structure,

✔️ How to use language in invitational and open ended ways to interrupt a trauma cycle and invite curiosity rather than aversion,

✔️ The ways that the survival structures of the body and the ego can create a pathway to the soul,

✔️ Why getting your client to think about it, plan, strategise or tell their story doesn't change their repetitive habits (even if they consciously want to), and...

✔️ A simple system for slowing down activation in your clients, so they can process and release their blockages, even if they are very heady or challenging,

WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?

  • Coaches, counsellors, therapists or bodyworkers who want to provide excellent client care and holistic, trauma-informed services,

  • People running their own groups or training and wanting to feel confident creating trauma informed groups and processes themselves.

  • People working with embodiment, sexuality or relationship topics that can trigger difficult content,

  • Practitioners who want to help their clients deepen their spirituality by building safety and trust in their animal body.

  • Practitioners wanting to do their own personal exploration of their nervous system and directly improve their capacity to be of service.

And ... If your work with clients includes spirituality

One of the biggest blocks to truly opening to the Mystery is going to be your clients' nervous system.

Until they learn that their physiological responses (their shrinking away, their anger or defense, their shaking, trembling or laughing) are here to help, all their fight, flight, freeze or fawn behaviours are going to distract them and have them behaving in automatic and unconscious ways - even when there's a lot of awareness and willingness to choose a different, less reactive or shutdown way.
Your clients responses and the unprocessed events remain log-jammed in their operating system until they learn to work With their body. To clear the log jams (or traumas) and come more freshly into the present moment.


There's only so much light we can ascend into before the body (and our unprocessed past) comes bursting back through to be met and loved. Spirituality is a descent into matter, taking us deeper into spirit through knowing ourselves as human. It is not the transcendance or denial of the flesh. 
So your spiritual work with clients is going to be deepened by their arrival in the body. 
In a safe way. In a kind way. 
Because for most people, being here in the body (when you really get down to it) is an incredibly vulnerable, tender and exposing thing. And for some, it's outright terrifying because their early experience of life (through neglect or abuse) made their body the last place they want to be. 
If you want your work to be able to go to the depths of your client's patterning and sense of self, you must make the body a safe place to be, and build your client's trust in their own animal organism.

When you do, truly embodied trust in self and Spirit grows roots.

What others have said:

This work is profound

Mariam Nour - Yoni Mapping Therapist and Intimacy & Relationship Coach

This work is profound. I feel deeply in touch with the nuances of the process of moving my clients through flight, fight, freeze and fawn responses into resource and safety. What used to feel incomplete for me now feels easeful, whole and I'm building a deep intuitive sense of what my clients need moment to moment. This work is extremely exciting, deeply spiritual in a deeply human compassionate and whole-making way. I feel personally transformed into a more whole, loving, present, easeful and available me. Amanda holds the space with such grace and presence, I felt so safe and playful to explore and grow in the space. I highly recommend this to anybody who is feeling called to the work.

It's changed the way I approach processing deep emotions

Lisa Grant - Somatic Food and Timeline therapist

This course is wonderfully informative and practical, giving me the tools and confidence I need to work somatically with myself, my family and my clients. I found it superbly graceful and beautiful and has changed the way I approach processing deep emotions.
It is helping my clients work through unresolved nervous system states in a safe and gentle way and to enjoy more embodied states in their daily life.
I highly, highly recommend this work”.

A simple but extremely powerful framework

Efrat Wolfson - Life of Passion, Sexuality & Relationship Coach

“In the past few months I've been diving deep with the amazing Amanda Patterson into somatic tools for working with Trauma.
Amanda's work is special because she combines a number of different modalities plus her own JuJu into a simple but extremely powerful framework for working with clients when old patterns arise and get them stuck in the "Trauma Vortex" - which is that powerful pull towards our past pain that prevents us from moving towards creating new, better experiences.
I highly recommend it to coaches, councillors, bodyworkers and other practitioners who work with people in a context where trauma can show up.
To me it's been invaluable so far, and we're not even finished yet!”

"Amanda embodies this work in every aspect of her Being

by Tirta Nicholson

On the 6month training given in 2020: "Amanda embodies this work in every aspect of her Being - each teaching was a transmission of knowledge; as was her way of being with us, welcoming whatever showed up in the space and holding us with strength and sensitivity. Her sessions are incredible, and I learned so much witnessing her giving demo sessions to others in our cohort.
She models the results of this work in terms of realness, presence, resilience, regulation and embodiment. Through experience, I have complete faith in this approach and feel very fortunate that I received what I believe is the best possible holistic training in somatic therapy available. I feel so passionate about sharing what I have learned with the world!”

A very powerful, experiential and relational learning environment to be part of

Claudine Gertrude -

"It so excites me to talk about transformational offerings that are deeply based in the body and the nervous system but lean deeply into the whispering of the soul. That deep desire of the soul to fully incarnate into this body, into this earthly experience, all of it; the pleasure and the challenge.
Amanda's genuine love for humans and creating positive change has given her fuel to train herself and become an incredible facilitator. She brings in the tools and she embodies a dimension beyond the tools which transmits love and trust into the mystery of existence. Here layers of conditioning and ways of inhibiting life force can reveal themself in a safe and welcoming space. This is a very powerful, experiential and relational learning environment to be part of”.

Amazing skills for my practices and life

Ben Jennings - Embodiment Coach

"Yes , it’s definitely worth the journey. I have gained so many skills professionally and personally, as well as having huge shifts and transformation along the way. So much more understanding about how to create foundational safety for myself and others.
Amazing holding with compassion care and wisdom ."

Shelley's experience: Bodyworker and Pelvic specialist

"I've done a lot of courses and this program has been at the top of all of them. "

 

Briony Montgomery - Therapist

"It's been such a deeply profound journey and teaching"


"I've been blown away by how healing the work has been. It's filled in the gaps for me after the years of embodiment training and facilitation I've had. The somatic work has made me more confident to start to work again and invigorated my passion and clarity."

Lisa Grant - Somatic Eating Psychology

"One of the best trainings I've ever done"


"It's given me a whole new way of looking at how we store emotion and trauma in the body, and how to process that with such gentleness and kindness. It's taken what I do to the next level".

Vanessa - Psychology and Psychic Readings

"This is one of the most important and profound investments you could make in yourself and your ability to be there for other people"

"I really couldn't have anticipated just how much I got out of the program. My capacity to process life events, relationships, and trauma has just exponentially increased, and I see the positive effects of that all the time. This is one of the most important and profound investments you could make in yourself and your ability to be there for other people"

Claudine - Somatic Shiatsu and Counselling

"Amanda really knows the tools, the nervous system and has an amazing way to transmit that"


"I entered the training to gather more tools around the nervous system, to get to know it more deeply, and I can definietly say that happened. I'm feeling much more fluent in recognising where the trauma is held, when the blockages come up and how to address them with clients and create more healing and capacity in my clients life. 

I also really enjoyed that it was online! (a challenge perviously as Im an in-person, embodied practitioner) but I have to say I was so suprised how well it all works."

FAQ

  • 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. It is not suitable if you don't have any experience working with clients. 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?

    Yes! As this is leaning heavily on experiential processes, this program will be helpful for any body wanting to deepen their embodiment and comfort with working with their own nervous system and others. 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.

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

    Yes, all calls will be recorded and uploaded to the Thinkific platform, so you don't have to miss anything if you're not able to attend live. We do recommend lining up a practice session with your buddy or someone from the cohort if you miss a skill building call. And if you have a report or question, these can be sent in at least 1hr before the call so they can be answered.

  • I get tired with a lot of online time, what if the 3 hour calls or 4 day workshop are too much for me?

    We put a lot of energy into making the calls spacious, nourishing and very body friendly. Our online time is never more than 1.5hrs without a break, and the workshop days are divided into 3hr blocks with a 2 hour break in the middle. (So 9am-12pm then 2pm-5pm). Inside of every 3 hour block we will include movement, silence/meditation and lots of resourcing.
    We will also encourage the people living in the same area to meet at someone's house to attend. So it will be less "online" online for those people who can/want to do that too.

  • Is this a Certification program?

    This program is Level 2 of a 3-level series that forms the 400-hour Somatic Therapy Certification.
    The 3-month Trauma Informed Practitioner by itself will give you a Certificate of Attendance as long as you attend 80% of the calls and workshops live.

  • There's lots of other trainings out there, what makes this unique ?

    Amanda has a background in non-dual teachings (with Gangaji and Jared Franks) and the Diamond approach.* This spiritual background permeates the content and skills you'll learn as well as the way she teaches.
    This makes this program one of trust and surrender to the bigger Soul of a client or process. It allows the work to be less reactive if a client is resistant or projecting their stuff, and teaches you how to relax into allowing clients to have the space to see what's really going on for them.

    It means you are not learning to fix or change a client, but to support them to find their own organic and natural resolution inside. This also means that any changes that arise are more native and integrative to your clients world and more likely to have longevity.

    Note: *Amanda isn't representing these groups in any offical capacity.

  • What's the time commitment?

    Over the 3 months (starting August 1st), you'll have 89hrs of live calls, classes or inquiry groups.
    It's important that you can make at least 80% of the Classes and the 2 + 4 day workshop, and generally be able to attend the other calls, but we can do a make-up process if some need to be missed.

    The Online modules are released every 2 weeks and include 20-45mins of video + 9-14 pages of manual content plus a self-assessment. Succinct. Easy to absorb and not overwhelming.

    Practice sessions: There isn't a set amount of practice sessions you need to do, but it's recommended to do at least 3 /fortnight. Obviously, the more you practice, the more deeply it goes in.

    Connection and Support: Your level of buddy engagement is totally up to you. You'll decide together how much or little you meet. Some people will want to do regular session swaps and check-ins or text messages, and others will do a fortnightly date to go through the online module together, or just touch base.

    If you haven't done the Intro to Somatic Therapy or Somatic Soul with me, there is a 3.5hr workshop to watch which gives you the foundational maps and skills before we start. Other than that, you can dive deep into the recommended reading and the bonus content in your own time.

  • What are the days, dates and times for the classes, practice groups and inquiry calls?

    CLASSES: You have the option to attend evening or morning classes on a Tuesday 5.30pm - 9pm (AEDT) or a Thursday 9.30am - 1pm (AEDT)
    Exact dates coming.

    PRACTICE CALLS: Tuesday with Amanda 1 pm - 4pm (AEDT/AEST) unless stated otherwise below.
    Exact dates coming.
