Within two years, you will be able to say with confidence:
"I had CPTSD, but I no longer have CPTSD."
CPTSD Medicine is advanced training in CPTSD Resolution. Not therapy. Not coaching. Not another provider you outsource your healing to. This is a structured protocol built on the evidence-based principles of memory reconsolidation, designed for high-functioning adults who are done managing symptoms through meds and therapy and are ready to finish the work. One outcome. Two pathways.
You already have a therapist you love, or you're the kind of person who leads your own healing when given the right tools. The Weekend Workshop gives you professional-grade training in how effective CPTSD treatment actually works. You leave with the knowledge most therapists never receive and the ability to advocate for yourself inside any clinical relationship. Twice yearly. Seven seats.
Pathway One —
CPTSD Resolution 101 Weekend Workshop
You want the full container. Six months working directly with me, the architect of the CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol. Individual IFS sessions, weekly group facilitation, printed curriculum mailed to your home, and a measurable outcome guarantee. This is where you stop piecing your healing together and resolve your CPTSD inside one integrated process. Application only.
Pathway Two —
Happily Ever After
If you are a therapist wanting to make a client referral, please see my referral guide below.
I'm a childhood trauma survivor with a PhD in Education who used IFS to resolve my own CPTSD and no longer qualify for a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis. The speed and depth of that resolution after decades of intense emotional pain and relationship heartbreak was so utterly life-changing that I left a tenured professorship in applied developmental psychology to train in IFS and build a protocol around what I'd experienced. I now offer applied mental health training — a structured, intensive experience designed to move high-functioning trauma survivors out of survival mode and into genuine symptom resolution.
Importantly, I am not a therapist. I'm a trainer. Some of my students continue working with their therapist while they're in my container, and I consider that beneficial and desired if possible. What comes up in our work often deepens the therapeutic relationship because students are bringing new unburdening experiences and self-awareness back into their sessions. I'm a complement to therapy, not a replacement for it.
WHAT I OFFER
I offer one way to work with me: Happily Ever After (HEA), a six-month, application-based container that includes:
• 1:1 IFS unburdening sessions
• Group facilitations
• A self-paced training curriculum built on a proprietary protocol
• Investment: $6,000
This is not drop-in work or flexible scheduling. The structure is the structure, and it's intentional. The container is designed to function as a total life training ground, using every aspect of a student's daily life as the material for healing-in-the-moment IFS skills. That kind of 360-degree engagement is something the therapeutic frame isn't set up to do (not because of any deficiency, but because of how therapy is structured). That's precisely where I come in.
WHO IS A GOOD FIT
• Female-assigned at birth
• Childhood trauma survivor with CPTSD
• High-functioning — performing well professionally but struggling significantly in personal and relational life
• Motivated, self-directed, and oriented toward resolution rather than ongoing management
• Ready to take full responsibility for their healing
• Willing to commit to a six-month structured container and the investment it requires
• Sober-minded and wiilling to forgo substance-assisted treatment (e.g., ketamine, MDMA, psilocybin) for the duration of the container
WHO IS NOT A GOOD FIT
• Male-assigned at birth clients
• Someone looking for a few sessions or a flexible therapeutic relationship
• Someone who needs more generalized support rather than targeted, intensive training
• Someone not yet ready for the level of commitment and self-responsibility the container requires
The best referral to me is a human on your caseload who you can see is ready — maybe even overdue — for something more intensive and structured than weekly therapy alone can provide. Someone who is doing the work, is intellectually engaged (i.e., looks good on paper), but is in significant and near constant emotional distress in her/their closest relationships.
