    clear definitions of parts of structural dissociation is so helpful in moving ahead with treating different states with some insight and confidence.I use my own nervous system responses to be in tune with the patients behaviour and confusion.
    Slowing down is a must.
    Will buy this superb programme a second time .

    it keeps getting better and actually very enjoyable; the joy of true knowing.
    Clearly defining each structural states of Dissociation is extremely helpful as that insight helps to follow ,the why’s and how’s of how to work with each and different states.
    Superbly done. so I will buy this programme a second time.
    With gratitude. Srishti Nigam, Dr.

    Good Morning
    I am.very impressed by what you are offering here in terms of calibre of teachers and research based teachings. I feel disappointed and perturbed that you are do not offer any kind of a payment plan for the Gold Package, especially in light of the current financial.climate.

    I want to thank those of you who paid for the Gold Package as you allowed me to attend. I worked in the mental health field back in the days when no one was traumatized, we were all bipolar and BPD. My career didn’t last long once my memories surfaced and at 70 years old I’m finally getting help understanding myself. My sister, who was beaten as a toddler for being born with a birth defect, died this past year and I’m beginning to understand her more, also. I think the hardest part, for me at this time of life, is to give up on ever going back to work. It’s a constant battle to fight the feelings of worthlessness. Being active with non-profits in the community doesn’t work when I’m frequently homeless… I’ve spent a lifetime trying to work Maslow’s Hierarchy upside down. It doesn’t work.

    Why does the body disassociate? Besides trauma …
    The body is trying to show us something with disassociation specifically

    I’m trying to identify the difference between DID and Structural Dissociation. Can anyone clarify this? Thanks in advance 🙂

      i think the only difference is severity, different approaches are needed because of severity, so that leads to different labels for the different levels of severity. Otherwise both disorders are more similar than not.

    Wow. I have taken SO many courses about the treatment of traumatized clients over the years, but this one has been a “gut punch” for me. I have learned so many new ways to work with my dissociated clients- or perhaps I should say clients who have parts that dissociate when triggered by often unconscious and often very “insignificant things”(though I’d never believe that Anything is insignificant!!). I am blown away by the content- the helpful information you have given here. Though I am suffering significant financial hardship myself, I am getting closer to purchasing the gold package to have these weekly “courses” to keep forever. Have to run to meet with a client now– but felt I had to express how powerful this training is and how much I am learning (now in my 63rd year of life!). Never stop learning!! And Thank You 😊!!
