I misattuned—and it taught me everything.
A lesson I learned from Failure
I once missed a rupture in a client session.
Too fast.
Too cognitive.
I felt it the moment I said it.
My stomach dropped.
Their body language shifted.
I’d gone too far, too soon.
I brought it into consultation, heart pounding.
My mentor didn’t judge me—they helped me slow down, reflect, and repair.
With the client. And with myself.
That moment reminded me:
We don’t need to be perfect.
We need to be willing.
Willing to learn.
Willing to name it.
Willing to repair.
That’s what makes a good trauma therapist.
One who reflects with humility.
One who invests in solid mentorship and consultation.
One who is committed to ongoing growth.
And, just like my mentors offer that to me, I want to pay that forward.
Because that kind of support—the real-time, boots-on-the-ground kind—
is what helps me feel proud of the work I do:
- Grounded in my values.
- Energized instead of depleted.
- Willing to keep growing, keep learning, keep being human—humble and wise.
Join our upcoming Trauma Training Cohort...
Here's an important note:
I redesigned this next round of the Trauma Training Cohort to give you exactly that.
More mentorship.
More live consultation.
More space to feel held as a whole person and a skilled clinician.
This is for you if:
You’re ready for a high-caliber space to land each week—
to sharpen your interventions,
deepen your clinical confidence,
and expand your capacity to show up—
for your clients, your life, and yourself.
A container where presence is practiced.
Where nuance is the norm.
And where the ripple effects are felt in every session.
It’s a higher investment of time and presence on both sides.
But the growth? It will be deeper, steadier, and more fully supported.
There are only 6 spots this round.
It’s application-only, so we can ensure a truly good fit.
We begin soon.

P.S. Can you tell me about a time when you misattuned? I'd love to hear how you navigated and moved through it #HumansLearningTogether
What you’ve always gotten in this trauma training:
6 Months of Support with Nuanced, research-rooted training in trauma, EMDR, somatics, attachment, and systems
A lifetime trauma resource library built from over a decade of work
Real-time insights and lived clinical wisdom—not just theory
A community of thoughtful, heart-centered clinicians
But here’s what’s new—because you kept asking:
Double the live calls. Weekly calls instead of Bi-Weekly.
This round includes 24 live calls—case consults, mentorship, deep dives.
Because therapists kept saying:
“I love the material—but what I really need is more time in the room with you.”
That’s what creates the real ripple effects.
That’s what anchors the skills into your nervous system and clinical instinct.
This round is smaller.
More refined.
Application-only.
And built to support the kind of deep, aligned trauma work that changes lives—starting with yours.
We begin soon.
Only 6 spots.
Higher touch.
Higher support.
Higher transformation.

Let yourself be held. This time, you can get even more support.
