Thank you for your generous offering of this wonderful series. As a practitioner and educator of body/mind therapies, I was particularly grateful for more information on the brain and also benefited from the clinical framing of this approach. Personally and professionally, my experience is that somatic awareness and movement are key in helping recovery from childhood abuse. Thank you for your work and best regards.
I am grateful for your work.
My personal experience watching Bessel putting his hand on his chest was a sadness and memories of my childhood in Berlin.
Born on Feb 13th 1948 into a Jewish-Christian family …. I was may be three or four years old, sleeping alone and moving back and forward on my knees and arms…
After years of sleeping four hours a time maximum, waking up and learning eg since five years Hebrew to get tired again, I am with a lot of hope today, to dare to write a paper, which I refused to do on my work.

This course has been a valuable addition to my current modality. In my psycho-ed section of somatic therapy I had not been able to explain the mechanics of what happens in the brain when trauma occurs. I have been waiting for the announcement of a “switch” in the brain that causes dissociation after trauma. This material has finally answered my quest. Now I can tell clients that three parts of the brain are affected. This increases an appreciation of the complexity of the process for my client and makes them more willing and brave to investigate the trauma held in their bodies. Thank you for this material and for the combination of esteemed presenters.

I want to thank Ruth Buczynski and everyone who is involved in producing this series of educational treating trauma master class. They are so useful and enlightening to me as a practitioner. I am not a license psychotherapist but I am trained in many trauma healing modalities and subconscious reprograming. Such as PSYCH-K, Gentle Bio-Energetics Body Therapy and Birth into Being.
Your sessions help me understand deeper on how the mind works and mind-body connection. What each healing method can be so useful in different cases. What to say and what to look out for.
I am so grateful for everyone putting this series of sessions together.
Love and hugs to all of you.
Well Good Morning and Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
I missed the first session… but have become immersed in the remaining 4.
For for sake of not repeating – Ditto – Isabell Booth – with out the preverb, but for me younger self trauma – not fully recalled by blurred visions, but with gaps filled by my Dad just as he died.
I have now purchased the complete sessions as they will assist me explain and validate myself for my sibling s who will otherwise never understand me.
Again Thank you.
