"Get better faster...."

Finding ways to support people to create an internal self structure is what I have done for over thirty years as a professional. In fact, when I first designed and created the Becoming Safely Embodied Skills™ , my colleague, Janina Fisher, referred all her clients to BSE groups. (She liked the BSE skills so much she trained in them and co-led them with me for years!)  

Janina said her clients "Get better faster" after using the skills. 

I want the same for you and your clients.  

The Living UnTriggered skills create and reinforce the fundamental building blocks that you can use to support your clients in calming their bodies, soothing their hearts, and training their minds to shift into a nourishing direction instead of whatever is triggering them.  

Healing from life's difficulties is hard. That’s true.  

The Living UnTriggered online course, and certification program, is designed to do exactly what the name suggests: Live UnTriggered.

 "Life changing. That's what this was. You know, Deirdre, what you add to the healing mix is an acute approach to attachment that makes all the difference in using and applying the skills. That's the profound piece you bring. I want to learn how to be that way with myself - and with my clients!" ~ Richard, therapist, New Mexico, USA

Professionals in the last online certification program I ran consistently reported experiencing the discovery as beneficial and critical to their work with their clients. Here's a sampling:

"The training, your way of working and being, has opened up access to my inner wisdom, which is shared between us all and yet is so unique."

"There's something so much cleaner about life with these skills. For years I would have arguments about small things that were puzzling to me. I didn't understand. Bouncing between shame for being overreactive and blame. Now that I'm using the skills I can catch it when the past is intruding and we can talk about what's going on in the here and now, without it being so big or me stuffing it out of shame. I'm more upfront about getting hijacked without beating either one of us up. It feels like a sacred privilege to be able to help clients to do the same."

"Very clear and helpful. Especially the idea of being able to change the pattern of the internal building blocks to build the person you want to become."

"I really appreciate the effort you put into breaking the concepts down into such manageable steps. The way you present all your material is a lot less intimidating. It helps nurture the notion that even I can do it!"  

Included in the Living UnTriggered Certification Program

Details below are based on previous cohorts - specifics are subject to change

• The entire Living UnTriggered Course (value $497)

The foundation is my online instructor-led cohort-based Living UnTriggered course that starts November 11. You’ll learn from my thirty plus years of teaching meditation skills in a variety of settings (inpatient, outpatient and private practice groups and with individuals). You'll see how I teach the skills and how the Living UnTriggered Mentors coach participants through using the skills. You’ll hear professionals and non-professionals talking about everyday life experiences and how the skills work. That will give you immeasurable support in dealing with your own clients.

• Access to the Living UnTriggered coaching calls with the entire community One of the huge side benefits I’ve learned teaching is how creating safety and secure connection is a “precious gift” accelerating the benefits of the skills. In the course, and the Certification Program, you’ll see how that’s done, and practice doing the same in your practice. The Living UnTriggered course is an integration of meditation skills foundational to all the great wisdom traditions while also incorporating attachment theory, trauma treatment, parts work, body therapies, and yogic psychology.

• Taking theory into the body

As you may know my training in these areas is extensive. What I want to do is give you access to my storehouse of knowledge as you explore putting these theories into practical experience in your client sessions.

Having meditated since the '70s, and lived in a yoga ashram for six years in the '80s and '90s, Deirdre brings a unique perspective to being in the body. In the '90s Deirdre was asked to teach yoga and meditation to those on the dissociative unit at McLean Hospital. Having amassed skill sets in trauma treatment (as a supervisor under the guidance of Bessel van der Kolk at the Trauma Center), attachment theory (13 years of training with Daniel Brown), body therapy (as a trainer in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy), Deirdre now teaches her own integrative approach which Chris Germer calls “a radically positive approach to healing trauma.” As a Compassion Focused Therapist, a qualified Mindful Self-Compassion teacher, trained in Life-Force Yoga, certified in Internal Family Systems and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Deirdre founded the Becoming Safely Embodied skills groups and is the author of Attachment-Based Yoga & Meditation for Trauma Recovery (W.W.
