Join me for intimate conversations on healing, transformation, and reclamation of yourself after trauma impacts. I hope these podcasts can be a landing point for you to feel seen, heard, and cared for as you move on your healing path.
When I found Trish’s Sister Cocoon Intensive, I was seven months past discovery and still drowning. Since February 26th, I had been living in the grip of severe PTSD symptoms—raging, breaking things, wavering between wanting to fight and wanting to disappear entirely. I was tender and raw, taking one step forward and two steps back. The enormity of this betrayal trauma had altered me so completely that I barely recognized myself.
I had been working with therapists and enrolled in other programs, but they weren’t a fit. They didn’t understand this specific type of trauma. I could feel the tornado inside, the overwhelming grief that brought me to my knees, the way trauma had shattered my inner knowing, my world, and left me grasping for solid ground. I needed specialists. I needed immersive care. I needed to be deeply held.
I feel so fortunate to have found Trish and to have engaged in this deep work with her.
Over eight profound days, she created a container of deep emotional safety where I could finally exhale. Her presence and attunement were extraordinary. She tracked every wave of anger and grief with such care, honoring my process and my path through this vortex with thoughtful presence. From the beautiful breakfast and lunch spreads to the smallest details, you could feel the love and intentionality she brings to this sacred work. She and the other women in that room held me exactly as I was—all the million pieces I was in—free of judgment, full of deep validation and respect for my healing journey.
The transformation was cellular. Something ancient and wise within me—something I thought I’d lost—reawakened. I reclaimed my intuitive power, my inner knowing, in a way I had not been able to access before. I learned to breathe through difficult triggers and activations. I discovered I could call out integrity abuse with fierce precision, strength, and groundedness instead of becoming a whirlwind, instead of losing myself in the chaos of lies and trauma. I can disengage before my “altered self” consumes me. I can tend to myself. I can come up for air.
Where I once raged and raged, I now stand in my own knowing. Where I once broke and lost my voice screaming, I now cry and hold myself in my pain. I know I will survive the burning.
I metabolized a great deal at this intensive and made soul sisters along the way. This is deep, profound work that Trish holds with art and profoundly healing care. The healing journey continues, certainly—but because of this intensive, I am much, much stronger for it. It was a phenomenal, deeply transformative experience. If you are navigating the life-shattering terrain of betrayal trauma and need a place to land, to be held, to return to yourself—Sister Cocoon is that place. And Trish is the healer who will hold you through it all.
Affirming. Transformative. Trish’s retreat was exactly what my body and my brain needed to find the truth that I had been harboring throughout this entire traumatic process. Her depth of experience is so vast and her ability to hold space for each of us throughout the week was nothing less than courageous. Trish is an exceptional therapist and I would recommend this workshop to anyone in a similar situation.
Trish is a remarkably warm and knowledgeable woman who will help you move forward. I felt seen not just as a “partner,” but as a human being who is worth listening to and taking seriously.
Trish was willing to name the uncomfortable truths that lingered in my relationship that other well-intentioned/well-educated therapists seemed to avoid, but which kept me in confusion. Those truths were hard to hold in my awareness at all, let alone to try to process through them in a way that wasn’t incapacitating. However, Trish’s approach gave me a way to both access and start moving through the trauma.
I have finally been able to get back to a sense of peace within my body. It is also so much easier to set boundaries that help me preserve this peace as I continue to heal. My partner, friends, and family have commented on noticing these shifts as well.
Before going to this program I felt like I had been emotionally ripped apart and trampled on for years, and I left with the ability to feel whole again. I am now able to connect with parts of myself that had been slowly worn away long before discovery.
This program goes beyond coping skills and helps you tap back into yourself in a way that feels like coming back alive. It’s like some sort of psychological CPR!
Finally, there is something so healing about spending 8 days immersed in this type of treatment with other women who have been through something similar. If the Minwalla Model resonates with you, then this program can help you feel healthier, no matter what is happening with your partner.
Do this program. It is worth it. We have easily spent over 150K over the past 3.5 years on therapy and various intensive programs for couples and for my husband. You need and deserve the clarity that this program can bring. I know it can be hard to justify the expense, but getting healthy for yourself is the best thing that can happen for your family. I only wish I would have done it sooner because it would have ended up saving me a lot of money on less effective treatment! My mom is now always telling me how thankful she is that I did this program because she can tell I am getting back to myself, and that I’m much more present for my kids.
Thank you Trish!!!
When I signed up for this experience, I had no idea of what to expect. I have been married for 37 years and was still trying to work on fixing “our” relationship. Discovery was 5 years ago. I read and listened to so many podcasts and I’ve always been carrying so much information in my head but still didn’t feel right and was unable to find words to articulate it. Recently, I finally decided to focus on my own recovery.
This experience allowed me to truly surrender and be taken care of- mind body and spirit. I moved through grief that I’ve carried from the depths of my soul. I feel tangibly different and my husband has witnessed a shift in me. The other women were so beautiful and brave. We developed an incredible vulnerability and openness after experiencing so much shame and confusion. I felt honoured to share this experience together. Get to know each other deeply and watch us all transform and heal together while being seen and held tenderly by Trish.
Firstly we understood the trauma we had been through. The extent and to know we aren’t crazy. We worked through breathing, writing, drawing, painting, sound baths, drumming and sharing our voices. Being a part of the 8-day intensive has completely changed me forever. I am eternally grateful for the thought and care Trish has put into this one-of-a kind-experience. In the end it felt like years of therapy. I feel a clarity I’ve never experienced. A calm existence in a challenging world. I have gained so many skills to carry me forward and given me hope. I am forever indebted to Trish and Dr. Omer Minwalla. Thank you.
Trish distinctly stands alone at the summit of the trauma field. She is authentic, brilliant, gifted, and extremely accepting, wrapped with genuine profound love. Her quick insight and direction fostered an experience that unraveled the true essence of who I am and who I am now becoming. And not just me, but the other women of the Sister Cocoon were truly a sight to be seen. We were safely knitted together, cultivated by Trish’s deep compassion to help us all find true integrity healing. As a result of commonality, the journey never intended, forever friendships formed. We were all empowered by the clarity and language in identifying our traumas. The support has been priceless and validating. One of the most heartwarming tools I will continue to use is dropping into my essence of who I am. I found myself. I reconnected with myself. My true authentic beautiful self. The Sister Cocoon and Trish have imprinted an eternal impact. Thank you, Trish!
I have often heard the advice “a burden shared is halved.” I actually felt that after being introduced to the safety and compassion of Trish’s group intensive. She set that tone. The sacredness of each of our experiences found that common, golden thread amongst us, teaching “you are never alone” in the grief and upheaval, or in the laughter and calm, that starts the healing. As our trusted guide, Trish was well-informed, well-scheduled and well-respected. Well done!
I am always working on my “Plan B” – how will I “B OK either way” – whatever my husband decides or doesn’t decide about recovery? How can I grow and not stagnate? How can I love myself and become who I want to be while I wait to see if his openness and efforts toward recovery prove to be genuine?
Each time I’ve had a “time stands still”, life-changing and gut-wrenching discovery, I’ve doubled down on researching better programs for him. This past discovery it was clear to me, “I’m done trying to do something I have no control over”. I looked for a trauma intensive for me and found Trish’s “Here I Am Becoming” trauma retreat. I am also worth my time and worth my money – and I made the healing time work for me and will never regret it. Managing life while loving an addict makes me feel like I must be super-human while giving him grace to be uber-human. I found a space with Trish and the women where I could be human; free from educating others about my experience and free to let my body release the pain of carrying too much that is too big for me to carry alone.
The pristine and relaxing environment, the small group of lovely women, the curriculum plus the right-brained art and writing exercises were all so helpful in processing deeper pain and letting it out of my body, in a safe space. The sound bath, drumming, dancing and being with others who understand my brand of pain produced a joy and lightness that surprisingly blooms in the dark in the right circumstances – Trish creates the right circumstances, and I will draw from what I learned and experienced there for my lifetime. It was an added extra to be in a sunny place and to have alone time in the evenings to rest and do whatever I needed for myself. I will end by saying: you are worth your time. You are worth your money. Love yourself first, and if this experience looks helpful and healing for you, make it work~
I have tried many forums to address the hurt caused by my partner’s sexual deception. There was always something missing; a feeling not quite addressed, a wound not recognized, a painful assumption made, or any other forms of invalidation. With Trish, I felt a thorough illumination and washing out of all the painful areas -even ones I hadn’t yet come to recognize. Although it might sound unpleasant to highlight all of the areas of pain we’ve experienced, it was handled so gently by Trish while she simultaneously breathed strength and resilience back into our beings. I feel more whole. I have been seen, I have been encouraged, and this deep dive into what I experienced has begun to set me free. I am so thankful I did this early on in my journey rather than letting these wounds take hold of me. It’s by far the best investment I’ve ever made for myself.
I am so glad that I experienced this course. It was hard to go through, but in a good way. Emotions and feelings that I held deep down for years were able to come up and be processed. Trish created a space where I felt heard, understood and supported. I can’t imagine going through this healing experience with any other guide. Trish was full of knowledge and wisdom and loved each of us in a way that was both gentle and strong. I have a new set of tools that I can use as I continue to heal from decades of trauma and integrity abuse. I am most grateful for this experience of feeling validated, seen, connected to other women and secure in myself and my intuition.
Trish’s intensive is very different from the usual format of betrayal trauma workshops. Not only is her content accurate and essential to better understand the impacts of Deceptive Sexuality, Infidelity and Betrayal Trauma, it provides greater access to blocked parts of ourselves and allows us to begin a deeper healing process. The alternation between psychoeducation content and experiences of art therapy, dance, sound baths, somatic exercises, etc., makes this week rich and unique. Furthermore, the term “sister cocoon” could not be better chosen since Trish succeeds in creating a safe space of love, humility, and integrity for these women who are often facing severe traumatic symptoms due to this deep betrayal and the ripple effect of it.
Finding Trish and attending her 4-day psychoeducation intensive webinar: Here I am Becoming/The Sisterhood, was life changing! It was such a beautiful safe space to be with other woman, all going through the unimaginable hurt of betrayal. Trish was professional, compassionate and knowledgeable on guiding me through the process, both as a group and individually. Trish provided an amazing, creative experience which left me feeling empowered, supported, and started me on the pathway to healing and truly loving myself.
Trish cares deeply about those in the workshop. She created a safe and engaging space; although virtual, we felt supported. Over 30 years, I’ve had good therapists help with three difficult periods in my life. Yet, NO ONE has helped me tap into my deepest psyche, soothe my heart and soul, or show me vulnerabilities I didn’t see before. Trish Haight helped me feel heard and held in the throes of betrayal trauma. She taught group members how to begin healing. I highly recommend her workshops.
Trish was like a guardian angel who appeared in my life during the worst crisis I could ever imagine. During the virtual workshop I learned how to name what was happening to me and also had the opportunity to express what I felt through therapeutic writing and art exercises. The work we did really helped crack me open in order to examine the most painful and frightening parts of my experience in a supportive and sacred space. I am immensely grateful to Trish and the other participants for joining and supporting me on this journey.
Trish has helped us find a way forward together that feels connected to the reasons we got married in the first place. She has helped us confront difficult conversations with grace and kindness and both held space for each of us while pushing us to better versions of ourselves. We have more empathy, connection, and appreciation for each other now than ever before. It has lead to a deeper, lasting love.
It was an honor and privilege to attend the Here I am Becoming, Sacred Sister Cocoon with Trish Haight. The topic of betrayal trauma felt complex, overwhelming, and heavy, so I was amazed when I found myself sharing and exploring at a deep level that I didn’t think was possible. On day one I was already feeling safe enough to tell the basic details of my story and at the end of the day when I said, “I can’t believe how deep we went today”, Trish said: “Oh we will be going much deeper.” I didn’t imagine I could go so much deeper. But, of course, we did. Trish created a container that was so nurturing and safe that I found myself excavating feelings and emotions that I had never identified or named before. I felt freedom of self-expression when I learned new vocabulary and language for my past experiences. Trish helped me and the entire group navigate intense and vulnerable territory in creative ways and I found myself laughing and crying and drumming and dancing and painting and forming beautiful bonds with my self and the other participants. I can’t recommend Trish’s intensive enough. Trish is a ninja healer with a huge myriad of skills and gifts. I will be forever grateful that I attended her intensive.
The Here I Am Becoming: The Sister Course, has transformed my healing journey. As the target of ongoing betrayal trauma and integrity abuse, it is profoundly difficult to stumble toward enlightenment alone. Trish creates a sacred cocoon of sisters with like-shattered hearts and she enfolds them in a consecrated sanctuary of empathy and understanding. There are too few therapists who truly understand this deep wound and are able to validate the enormity of the destruction it does to us and our family. The breadth and depth of this Intensive led us to the hallowed ground of our own personal truth and justice. My husband’s choices destroyed our marriage but he did not destroy my spirit and I left this Intensive stronger and more resilient than I’ve ever been in my life. Trish is a divine guardian angel for those who have been desecrated by their partner and she holds the sanctity of who you are with profound reverence and grace. Her unending well of compassion and her fierce determination to guide us in healing the torment imposed on our womanhood was truly a balm to our overwhelmed souls. This Intensive provides a clear path to the reclamation of your authentic self and the restoration of your inner brilliance and light.
I wish I had never been in a position to know Trish or need this intensive, but with that said, I can’t imagine anyone better suited to guide betrayed partners on this healing journey. I sought out Trish a little over a year after discovery, feeling stuck and hopeless. I knew I didn’t want to remain buried in this trauma forever, but I lacked the tools and knowledge to move through it and toward healing.
From our very first conversation, Trish was overwhelmingly understanding and kind, instantly putting me at ease. Her deep knowledge of trauma, combined with her extraordinary empathy, created a safe environment that allowed for gentle navigation through these painful experiences.
Over the course of seven days, Trish created a true sanctuary that allowed for processing and healing. I didn’t have to think about or plan anything—she provided every material needed and ensured a comfortable, relaxing, and organized environment. Thoughtful music filled the air, we had opportunities to gather and time to be alone if needed, and a calming salt pool with fountains added to the tranquility of the space. The opportunity for expression and repair through drumming, art, writing, poetry, and other right-brain activities (even a sound bath!) was profoundly healing. Trish nourished not only my soul but also my body, providing delicious meals and having yummy snacks available at all times.
I left the intensive with new tools and resources for my healing journey, a renewed sense of hope for the future, and a clear plan of action to continue processing and moving through my trauma. I also left with a lifelong and heartfelt appreciation for Trish and the work she does; I already know she has been instrumental in my life and essential to my healing.
I attended the intensive with Trish during a time of great despair. I was feeling extremely invalidated in my process of betrayal trauma, and was met with provider after provider who did not truly and fully understand the experience and the needs of someone going through it.
Trish felt like an absolute miracle and she provided the hope and expertise I desperately needed in an incredibly difficult time. Trish and the women in the group gave me the space, understanding, and validation that is so important when going through this.
We all joked that we were calling the intensive a “retreat” but it certainly was not! As Trish will explain to anyone considering this, this is a very intense process, and you will be fully immersed in it for the week. I am out of state so I stayed in a hotel, and I think this was vital for my experience as going back to my home/child/partner would’ve been very difficult with the feelings I was processing each night after the day with Trish.
Trish is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and extremely talented at what she does. She fully opens herself to the women during the experience. I felt so safe and cared for throughout the experience and beyond. So grateful I was able to find and attend this intensive! At the end of the week, the intensive had given me a true retreat.
I was truly fortunate to have found Trish at what was an all-time low in my life. I was trapped in a toxic marriage to man who physically and emotionally abused me, and verbally abused my children. I was lost and afraid, unable to see the path forward. Trish immediately gave me a sense of security and understanding that allowed me to trust her enough to begin unpacking the layers of pain that my life had become. She also gently but clearly helped me set boundaries, see the truth for what it really was, and eventually find the strength to leave for good. And that was just the beginning, although I didn’t realize it at the time. I still had so much more to understand and heal within myself from years of trauma. Every step of the way, Trish has been empowering, empathetic, compassionate, and wise. She’s an innovator and scholar in a space that is still not well understood. Her clarity and process have allowed me over time to forgive myself, understand the complexities of abuse so that I never fall prey to them again, and most of all, find the peace and psychological freedom to continue to build a new life for myself and my family. Trish is a powerful guide, teacher, and resource. To me, “invaluable” is the word that best sums her up.
This in-person intensive was a powerful and life-saving experience for me. The impact of betrayal runs deep. Loss of self; the life you thought you had; your relationship; and your sanity all are impacted. The shock can be so debilitating that getting out of bed is nearly impossible. I know this far too well. I had two huge betrayals in my adult life and one of the reasons I am still on this planet is because of Trish’s work. She saved my life both times.
Trish has provided me with strategies to mitigate the impact of intrusive thoughts; understand the abuse that was inflicted on me; and reclaim hope. Through her intensives she also builds a supportive sisterhood to help you feel less alone. Trish is professional; kind; extremely intelligent and intuitively knows how to best support her clients. Her individual work is second to none and her intensives provide a safe space for everyone to share; grieve; love and heal. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with her in any capacity – do not hesitate.
Trish’s intensive in Los Angeles was a life changing experience. For the first time since learning about my husband’s infidelity over a year and a half ago, I felt seen and validated. Trish is literally an angel on earth. She is the most compassionate and loving therapist I’ve ever met. Not only did she care for our groups’ emotional needs, she nourished our bodies and held space in a way that I’ve never experienced before. As a group, we laughed, cried, danced, painted, wrote poetry, and we formed a bond that I carried with me when I flew back home to Washington State.
Although I’ve been in therapy for over 25 years, I’ve never done group therapy, and I can’t imagine a more supportive environment to process the trauma experienced with other women who are going through the same thing.
I wish there were a thousand more Trishes in this world to care for women going through the heart wrenching experience of betrayal trauma and integrity abuse. She lifted me up and showed me that even though I felt broken, I can also still feel love.
I have been seeing Trish for almost 4 years, now. It was on the tail-end of a divorce that was emotionally one of the most painful experiences I have ever had. The first 2 years working with Trish, I saw her weekly. She has helped me metabolize my pain and experience in a deep way that I could never have foreseen, helping me to shed healing light on long-neglected pieces of myself. I came to her with a crushed and bleeding heart, and she has walked me through the process of reviving it through gentle, deliberate tending and transformation, helping me to caringly and compassionately dissect my experience- the divorce, and many others- in a way that has empowered me to alchemize it. Trish asked me once, “Do you want a love story, or a life story?” These past years, with Trish’s guidance, so many fractured parts of myself have undergone healing and growth, and the result has been a life that would have been hard to envision three years ago. I have found new horizons of creative and professional fulfilment and opportunity, alongside a relationship that is healthy and wholesome beyond anything I have ever experienced or imagined. Words can’t do my gratitude justice, but I hope they give some idea of what Trish does.
I am so grateful to have been part of this incredible intensive and couldn’t imagine doing it with anyone else. Trish is an absolute treasure. The intensive far exceeded my expectations and that is because of the loving support, care, compassion and thoughtfully designed program for each person. Having the support of other women was crucial and together we listened, cried and laughed together. Trish makes the cocoon so safe and special. The intensive will illuminate everything that you are experiencing with clarity and this is something each one of us is seeking. I have 3 new sisters from this to lean on. Thank you Trish for being at the forefront of this trauma and being there in the most beautiful way. I know each one of us walked away feeling stronger.
Trish has created a much needed space where women who find themselves in this devastating and often isolating situation can feel held, seen, and heard. The skills learned are invaluable, and make the impossible seem possible. She welcomes you and meets you wherever you are, wraps her arms around you with her wisdom and care, and gives you tools to start the process of healing. If you come in feeling broken, you leave with the knowledge of how to begin putting the pieces together. She will take a group of women who feel like their whole world has caved in, guide and educate them with passionate empathy, and send them out into the world with a new set of wings.
I came into her course not knowing what to expect. I didn’t care. I just knew I needed help and I was desperate. What I experienced and left with is more than I could have ever hoped for. My first day was a wreck, I had zero support at home- but I quickly found strength in my fellow women warriors, with Trish at the helm of it all. In just five days, I was transformed. As the workshop came to a close, I could breathe deeper, stand taller, even laugh again – things that felt so distant and unreachable on Day 1.
I owe immense gratitude to Trish for providing such a sacred and empowering space, for helping me find the woman I used to be and loved so much, for sharing her beautiful talent for guidance, and for being a light in the darkest times of my life. Thank you, Trish. You are an absolute Gift.
Trish and her Here I Am Becoming workshop have given me life. Over the course of six days, she led us through the stages of deceptive sexuality and its impact with skill and tender care: I now have the language and framework I have sought and craved for over two decades! But Trish gave us so much more. Our six days flowed with purpose, deepening understanding, a careful, adeptly guided exploration of our own painful stories, the beautiful thread of other women’s voices, new tools and practices to attend to our old story, and hope in pursuing a new one. I feel an expansiveness in me; becoming, indeed. Not a single minute of our 42 hours together was wasted. I will be forever, profoundly grateful for Trish!
Trish Haight’s 6-day intensive was an amazing experience! She provided a sacred space to learn, process, and begin to heal from betrayal trauma. Her ability to move you through each phase with intentionality, sensitivity, and safety made me feel seen, heard, felt, fully known, and loved for the first time as an adult. As a group, we were able to hold space for each other through sharing, reflection, and connection. Trish was able to weave the complex psychoeducational content with beautiful art, breath work, music, poetry, somatic activities, and other right brain work which helped me to understand, digest, and metabolize the deep trauma and abuse I have endured for over 40 years.
At the end of day 6, I felt empowered with the knowledge, skills, and strategies I need to move forward. Gaining a new sense of self and agency by reclaiming the parts I love about myself and discarding the parts that no longer serve me, I can step into the becoming of my authentic self with purpose and vitality. Healing takes time and although I am not there yet, I know I am on the right path and I am not alone.
Thank you, Trish, for sharing your infinite wisdom, experience, and encouragement on this journey of becoming. Thank you to the ladies in our group, my sisters, for your vulnerability, authenticity, and acceptance. You all left an indelible imprint on my heart and soul.
Trish created a safe space virtually for our 4 day intensive. I received a lot of information to be able to read through later. Trish has curated beautiful images to go along with the deep topics discussed. Trish’s energy is calm, wise and nurturing. She has a gift. I felt seen, known, heard and understood while being cracked open and safely held and exploring the deep weighted wound of injustice. It was a comprehensive, intensive deep dive into the devastating and lonely world of the multi-faceted experiences of trauma related to compulsive entitled sexuality and infidelity and its impact on us as partners. If you are truly ready to work through your losses and explore your resilience and reclaim your personal power, reality and truth this is the program for you! I highly recommend Trish’s workshops.
It was such a blessing to be able to attend Trish’s 6-day intensive. Trish connected lovingly and authentically with each participant. She helped me to dig deeply into my emotions and process the grief and trauma I often try to hold at bay in my ineffective attempt to protect myself from pain. The material is weighty and important, and connecting with other resilient women and finding joy and humor together was so restorative. I love Trish’s incorporation of both breath and art into every aspect of the program. I intend to take these tools forward with me as I rebuild from the destruction my husband has created in my family. I arrived in sorrow and fear, but left feeling hopeful, courageous, and confident.
Trish and her profoundly comprehensive therapeutic work are safe harbor from the onslaught of betrayal and its subsequent wasteland of confusion, pain, despair, isolation and reverberating Trauma.
Trish helped me to finally anchor, rebuild and restore. She helped me understand What Happened. After decades of gaslighting, manipulations, and emotional assault, she brought clear light, deep care, and real healing. Trish adeptly uses a multitude of techniques to compassionately confront the complexities of betrayal trauma, while helping release its root adhesions to both psyche and body.
This Intensive has been a crucial piece to my healing process. I was extremely isolated. To be with other women who were also impacted by betrayal trauma, was an incredible gift. The freedom to share without shame, to support one another, and to again experience deep trust, created a bulwark of strength I sorely lacked before the Intensive.
Trish brilliantly and compassionately tends to each individual in the group setting, that also ignites a profound collective healing. My life is profoundly richer for it. If any woman is suffering from betrayal trauma and has the opportunity to attend one of Trish’s Group Intensives, I urgently recommend they take advantage of this extraordinary lifeline opportunity. Thank you Trish!
Taking Trish’s intensive was a magical and healing experience, to say the least. There were so many synchronicities – some as simple as butterflies outside the window and butterfly cards gifted to us by a fellow student. Others were more profound such as three nieces (one from each of us) born within 3 days of each other, with 3 candles set out and lit for each one. The material itself is the most comprehensive material I’ve ever come across in regards to physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and societal impacts of Sexual Addiction, and in particular on partners and families. As we moved through the material, Trish paid careful attention to how each member of our group responded. This woman has mastered the craft of attunement. She noticed the subtle nuances such as a change in breath or eyes glazing over from disassociation, to more obvious trauma responses like involuntary muscle spasms in the face or head. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be seen and held as I confronted this life-altering wound in the safety of this container (the course). Thank you, Trish, for this innovative work that paves the way for restorative, informational, and relational justice for so many women going through and struggling to thrive beyond this trauma.
I feel truly filled by the past 6 days. Trish held us with so much love as she worked with us. She carried us with such wisdom and kindness, creating the most beautiful shared experience of love, safety, and hope, woven with each woman’s personal and unique individual processing and insights. I feel changed by the connection formed through the true vulnerability that each deeply beautiful woman shared. For myself, I feel a connection to my heart, an ability to hold my heart going forward as I continue to process all that has happened, and trust in myself and the path to future beauty, happiness, and internal richness. I also feel a new felt sense of how to hold space for others and really be with them as they share. It gives me hope that I will be more connected to other humans again, more deeply than before and from a place of being deeply centered and grounded in myself. Leaving these 6 beautiful days, I feel filled up connected, and hopeful.
I am so grateful I was able to be part of the 6-day intensive. Trish has a way of being able to hold space for everyone simultaneously, and tap into each of us like she can see directly into our soul! She has given me so much I didn’t even know I was missing. My voice, permission to unlock my heart, and led me to a path of healing I was running from. I was so damaged from all the years of betrayal and pain, I could never imagine there is hope for me, there IS a path to healing. Trish with her infinite patience, kindest heart and wisdom literally led me to a place of empowerment, uncovered my buried voice, and gave me the confidence to be vulnerable. Being there with her and the other woman for 6 days, was life changing and I am looking forward and ready to continue on my healing path.
