Mindful Transformation:

Redefining Your Trauma

 

Mindful Transformation: Redefining Your Trauma is a 4-Day Therapy Intensive Workshop offered at Santé Center For Healing, that works with individuals who are struggling to move past traumatic event(s) that have occurred in their life.  Workshop participants are taught a new way to handle the upsetting thoughts they have as a result of trauma utilizing a therapy approach known as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).  Participants will not be asked to share specific details about their trauma, but instead, will be asked to talk about their beliefs and feelings related to their trauma.  Education around safety, trust, power and control, esteem and intimacy will also be provided.

What previous attendees have said: 

“I would not have healed from this trauma without the Santé Trauma Intensive. I feel like I did a complete 180.”

“I see light where there was darkness. I feel hopeful where I was hopeless. I know that if I continue this work I can be free from the pain that caused me to drink.”

“After many years of inpatient and outpatient therapy, this is the first time I feel hope for the future, that I am finally treating the root problem. Thank you. Big smile! Thank you to the kind, compassionate, brilliant and insightful staff. I am truly blessed.”

"As I read on your website before I signed up, this workshop is effective if you have reached a stall in your current therapy. That is where I have been and while difficult, I am glad to have tapped further into my trauma and know which direction to head as I continue to work my recovery."

"Absolutely helpful! This was the first time I was able to break through in my thinking doing the work and talking made things much more helpful. I have always done talk therapy but never put a worksheet to my thinking and since I am a visual person this was the “nugget” I was missing."

"If you have trauma in your life do not hesitate to come to this workshop four days have helped me more than years of therapy."
