“This course looks absolutely superb and it is a very important course coming at precisely the right time”
Jayney Goddard,
President, The Complementary Medical Association
“Trauma is not what happens to you, it is what happens inside of you. It is the psychological wound you sustained, the meaning you made of it and it’s cognitions about the self and the world. Trauma hardens you psychologically which interferes with your ability to grow and develop. You react out of pain and fear without knowing it. Your whole life is regulated by fear and pain that you are trying to escape from in various ways. “
Dr. Gabor Mate

- Attachment and boundaries – John Bowlby’s Attachment, the first volume of his classic trilogy exploring the influence of parent-child relationships on personal development. The reversal of roles with a parent skews the child’s relationship with the whole world and is a sign of not only pathology (sign or cause of disease) in the parent but also the cause of it in the child. It is a potent source of later psychological and physical illness because it predisposes us to stress. Historical trauma and blame.
