2012 Training Sessions
In this three hour training, Dr. Emerson shares magical moments in treatment and simple but effective ways to "read" and release trauma in the body. Trauma is only one side of a larger coin. Spirituality is the ultimate destination and the other side. Dr. Emerson contends that practitioners and clients must first glimpse the other side before they can be effective practitioners. He guides participants in accessing their own unique spirituality, while accessing their core wounding in the process. When both are paired, transformation is a natural process, like sunshine and insight following storms and obscure vision, and we are all stronger than ever in the broken places. Please note Emerson trainees may be assisting in the process, led by Dr. Emerson.

Drawing on three decades of experience, Barbara will explore birth and the first hour of life from the baby’s perspective. The baby is the driver, programmed with biological imperatives to be born and attach. How do common birth practices, even pushing, either aid or detract from the baby’s ability to carry out what it has been programmed to accomplish? What are the physiological, psychological and developmental impacts on the life of the child? The participants will have a new understanding about the primitive reflexes involved in birth and be informed of the most current scientific evidence for practices such as delayed cord clamping, skin to skin contact and even waterbirth

In this training session, Rochele HC Hirsch, M.S., originator of the Theory of How Come, teaches her system for rapidly decoding and transforming the preconscious hardwired belief structures that generate recurring patterns of stress in our lives. These Stress Fractals produce instinctive reactions that sabotage desired success. Through her system of Conscious Transformation, Rochele’s clients have dropped cravings for gambling to crystal meth, ended neediness, resolved relationship issues and increased business success. In this 3-hr session you will learn how to decode your own Stress Fractals and how to use the Conscious Transformation* method she has developed.
*Most therapy models support a person in COPING better with the issues in their lives, which means they are more capable of interrupting their instinctive reactions to experiences and choosing healthier responses. In contrast, TRANSFORMATION produces a change both in their instinctive reactions and in their natural experience of life. Most transformation occurs spontaneously, such as during Grof’s Holotropic Breathwork or other emotionally intense experiences. Rochele’s system has defined the elements that are changed with transformation. She can pinpoint those elements that generate the Stress Fractals for a particular issue. She uses this information for the process of Conscious Transformation.
In the development of her system for the transformation of Stress Fractals, Rochele Hirsch has integrated over 20 years of research and experience in transpersonal psychology and meditation with her education in physics, operations research and organizational effectiveness processes. She has been in the business world for over 30 years, including corporate management, consulting and business ownership. She is author of the e-books Love, the Noun vs. Love, the Verb; True Energy and the Chemistry of Relationships; and The Anger Flow Chart. A long-time resident of Atlanta, Rochele now lives in the Los Angeles area and travels to Singapore. She provides training and transformation consulting services with a focus on resolving the stress of relationships. Her next book, Get A Better Return On Your Crash & Burn, is due out in 2013.
