Build On Your Strengths: Workshops for Your Well-Being

Healing isn’t about erasing trauma or reliving every detail of it. What most people miss is how the past keeps showing up in the present:

• Saying yes when you mean no
• Staying quiet instead of setting boundaries
• Sabotaging relationships or opportunities
• Reacting to today’s stress with yesterday’s fear

In this workshop, you’ll learn to recognize these patterns for what they are: survival strategies that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck.

I’ll explore:

• How early experiences shape your current behavior
• What “scripts” are—and how to spot yours
• Tools to create new responses in daily life
• A way forward that centers your present, not just your past

This is not therapy.
It’s a trauma-informed space for reflection, clarity, and reclaiming your ability to choose how you respond.

Inside each of us is a system of parts, inner voices, strategies, and roles we’ve developed to survive, belong, and protect ourselves.

This workshop introduces Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a gentle, structured way to understand those parts and relate to them with curiosity instead of judgment.

If you’ve ever felt like one part of you feels like a little child when you're trying to do adult responsibilities, you've probably felt one of your inner parts. Or if you’ve heard your inner critic, the anxious planner, the people-pleaser, this work will help you understand why they’re there and what they need.

You’ll also learn how younger parts, the ones shaped by early experiences of fear, abandonment, or pressure, still carry unprocessed emotions and unmet needs. Reconnect to your parts with compassion and care, so they no longer have to drive your life from the shadows.

You’ll explore:

• The key types of parts (protectors, exiles, managers) and how to recognize them
• How parts form in response to trauma, stress, or early attachment wounds
• How to begin building a relationship with your parts without being overwhelmed
• Establishing safe spaces within you for your parts

This is foundational work for trauma healing and central to the “Emotional Reconnection” and “Self-Awareness” phases of my Integration Path™ for recovering from trauma.

You’ll leave with a clear entry point into parts work and a deepened capacity for self-compassion.

Self-care isn’t about doing the “right” thing. It’s about doing what you need right now.

In this workshop, we’ll cut through the vague advice and endless to-do lists and get practical about how to care for yourself in a way that actually works for you.

We’ll start with one of the most overlooked questions in wellbeing:

Do I need to replenish… or do I need to calm down?

By learning to recognize whether your system needs restoration (energy, connection, nourishment) or regulation (soothing, grounding, nervous system support), you can stop guessing and start choosing care that truly helps.

From there, we’ll explore the six dimensions of self-care and how they work together:

• Physical – caring for your body’s basic needs and energy
• Emotional – processing and expressing feelings safely
• Cognitive – managing thoughts, attention, and mental overwhelm
• Relational – building healthy boundaries and meaningful connection
• Environmental – creating supportive spaces and routines
• Protective – safeguarding your time, energy, and wellbeing

You’ll leave with:

• A simple, adaptable framework to assess what you need in the moment
• Tools for matching your self-care to your current state
• A personalized starting point for building a self-care toolkit that actually fits your nervous system, your schedule, and your life

Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s how we build capacity for healing, growth, and resilience — without burning out along the way.
