The Deep Dive 2.0
Level 1 graduates exclusive access
From Healing Trauma to Transforming Shame — Discover the Next Level of Somatic EMDR and Unbreakable Resilience.
​
A 100-hour advanced training designed for Level 1 Advanced EMDR Therapists ready to integrate cutting-edge somatic tools, address chronic shame, and grow both clinically and personally.
What is the Science of Unbreakable Resilience?
Thanks to the groundbreaking research on Positive Psychology pioneered by Martin EP Seligman, PhD and others we know that resilience and post-adversity growth go beyond just “bouncing back” and thinking positively.
What we’ve learned in our Fundamentals of EMDR Level 1 training is how to successfully work positively, somatically and compassionately with a variety of levels of trauma.
What we’ve discovered is there’s a powerful process of healing that can be unlocked through working slowly and somatically with clients to help them experience a “felt sense” of their bodies
The Next Level
Yet, there’s still one more huge area of healing and transformation we haven’t yet fully explored to help our clients heal, the area of Chronic Shame.
Level 1 is just the beginning of a process of going deeper into Somatic Psychology to understand the plethora of somatic tools and models available to help clients heal from high ACEs and lifelong mental health challenges.
​
The Deep Dive 2.0 - The Science of Being Unbreakable is designed to pick up where Level 1 leaves off.
This Level 2 training is organised to go where few trauma trainings have.
We’re not only focused on helping you learn new clinical tools and research. We’re not just offering to teach you 40 completely new somatic techniques and exercises to use with clients.
We’re also focusing on your own personal growth and transformation
In Level 2 we’re offering you a chance to deepen in your own personal healing journey to broaden your emotional, psychological and spiritual growth.
​
Chronic Shame affects us all and it takes all of us together as trauma-informed Somatic EMDR therapists to help each other heal.
In this course, we’ll focus on this as well as learning new skills.
Get Out the Yoga Mats and Work in a Partner/Buddy System
Because we’re focussed on clinically unpacking Chronic Shame, Dissociation, body pain and body tension through accessing yoga, breathing, slow movement and research, this course has more body movement embedded into the 2-live Big Fiesta days in both modules.
As well, participants will work together with a partner/buddy enrolled in the course to have frequent discussions around course content and discuss ideas reflected upon by keeping an individual “growth journal” to track your individual and professional journey.
The Structure of the Course
Overall, this is a 2 Module, 100-hour accredited training on Healing Shame, addressing dissociation and Complex PTSD, building resilience skills with 40 new Somatic EMDR yoga and mindfulness exercises called Softercize™ to teach clients.
​
The certificate you will receive after completing the 2 modules and coursework is a Somatic EMDR Trauma Specialist and Consultant Certification.
​
This designation will allow you to move your high-level skills from the therapy room into the board room, as you will be trained to be able to present this Level 2 material in organisations and work with individuals and teams. Primarily, this can occur through learning the Softercize™ format and helping organisations with work-related burnout by teaching somatic mindfulness exercises designed to support many mental health challenges.
​
Softercize™ will also later be developed into an instructor opportunity for you to lead groups and classes in schools, universities and community-based settings.
Deep Dive 2.0 Module 1 Course Description:

We begin by exploring a deeper understanding of the Fragmentation Funnel™ Model and how to use it as an effective tool for helping clients label their deeply fragmented experiences of trauma.
Other Course Highlights in Module 1:
-
We explore infant and early childhood trauma through groundbreaking somatic movement and awareness exercises from Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen and others.

We explore The Shame Barrier and how it is the source of our deeply Fragmented Awareness in trauma and dissociative experiences.
-
We examine the Neuroscience of Shame using human and animal models to help us grasp how deeply embedded shame can be in influencing behaviour.

We’ll learn to use 2 new clinical questionnaires (The RSES and ITQ-18) to help clinically unpack Chronic Shame and Complex Trauma.
-
You’ll come away with a much deeper understanding of the Bottom-Up nature of the brain, how ACEs develop, and why restoring completed actions and missing experiences through somatic interventions is CRUCIAL to healing.
-
We explore the powerful science of Social Contingency Detection with amazing film clips that show how powerfully shame affects our nervous system in infancy.
-
We’ll unpack a rare and important principle in Somatic Trauma therapy called The Action Cycle from Pierre Janet and how shaming experiences block us from feeling fluid and free in our bodies and behaviours.
-
You’ll receive 6 video assignments to watch, answer questions, journal about and discuss with your course partner/buddy.
-
As well, you’ll receive a number of research sources, a workbook, a Softercise™ basic practice manual and articles to use as psychoeducation with clients

Why It’s Taken Me So Long to Do This
Before I set off designing our award-winning Level 1 Fundamentals of EMDR training, I was first designing this Level 2 Deep Dive 2.0.
Overall, Level 2 has taken me 8 years to finally put together as a powerfully innovative and fully integrated course on shame and resilience to pick up where Brene Brown, Patricia DeYoung, John Bradshaw and others left off.
​
As well, after my Sensorimotor Psychotherapy training in New York and trauma training with Bessel van Kolk in Boston I was surprised that the topic of shame wasn’t discussed. I then realized the shocking idea that perhaps it wasn’t discussed because it hasn’t been fully understood. Inspired by my time studying at the feet and Typhoo tea cups of Janina Fisher, and attending countless lectures with Allan Schore and Paul Gilbert I was motivated to look for myself.
​
The Deep Dive 2.0: The Science of Being Unbreakable is the result of this incredibly long and healing journey.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
