Trauma Healing Intensive (3 day)

Is Your Heart Ready to Heal?

Start now to move from surviving to thriving.

You are not broken. You are carrying wounds that can be healed.

Resilient Heart is a three-day therapeutic intensive designed to provide women with a safe, compassionate environment to understand and process the wounds created by betrayal, loss, abuse, and other significant life experiences. In a small group setting held by experienced and trauma-informed facilitators, you'll be guided through a process that integrates three of the most respected approaches in trauma healing today. You won't just talk about your story — you'll learn to locate it in your body, understand where it came from, and learn how to heal and care for yourself long term.

How Unresolved Trauma Shows Up

Trauma rarely announces itself directly. More often, it shows up sideways — in the patterns we can’t seem to break, the relationships that keep hurting the same way, the reactions that feel too big for the moment. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and it’s not a character flaw. It’s an old wound still asking to be witnessed.

Unresolved trauma can look like:

Low self-confidence

Chronic anxiety or recurring depression
Persistent feelings of shame
Negative self-talk
A harsh inner critic, or a sense of never being quite “enough”

Overreacting

Or under-reacting to life events

Distrust

Difficulty forming secure relationships
Negative self-talk

If you’ve ever felt “stuck,” overwhelmed by your emotions, or disconnected from your true self—there is a reason. And more importantly, there is a path forward.

What You Will Experience

Through guided trauma education, meditation and grounding practices, a family genogram, lifespan trauma and attachment-wound exploration, and reflection on Pia Mellody’s five core issues, participants gain insight into how past experiences may continue to influence their relationships, emotions, beliefs, and sense of self. Experiential activities—including therapeutic art, journaling, letter writing, and Empty Chair work—provide avenues to express emotions and grief that may be difficult to put into words.

A central focus of Resilient Heart is helping women address the powerful impact of shame, vulnerability, grief, and unresolved resentment. Drawing from Brené Brown’s work on shame resilience and Forgive for Good, participants explore how shame and grievance stories can keep them emotionally connected to painful experiences and discover healthier ways to respond. The intensive does not ask women to minimize, excuse, or forget what happened; rather, it creates space to acknowledge the pain, grieve what has been lost, reclaim personal agency, and begin developing a more hopeful and resilient story for the future. The experience concludes with a meaningful closing ceremony and individualized aftercare planning to help each woman carry the work of the intensive into her life beyond the three days.

A Safe, Guided Healing Environment

You will be supported by trained professionals who understand trauma and know how to walk alongside you—especially when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next.

Connection & Community

You are not alone in your healing.
You will be surrounded by others who are also doing the courageous work of healing, creating a powerful sense of support, understanding, and shared growth.

Nervous System Regulation Tools

Learn practical, evidence-based tools including

Meditation
Mindfulness practices
Body-based regulation techniques

These tools can help calm your nervous system so healing can happen at a deeper level.

Creative & Experiential Therapies

Trauma is not just stored in the mind—it lives in the body and emotions. Through artistic and experiential approaches, you will access and process what words alone cannot reach.

Group Therapy

There is healing in being understood, supported, and surrounded by others who truly get it.

The Transformation

Healing trauma is not about erasing your past—it’s about transforming your relationship to it.

As you do this work, you will begin to experience:

A deeper sense of peace within yourself
Increased confidence and emotional stability
Shame resilience and the ability to challenge negative self-talk
The ability to reframe your life story
Moving from a victim narrative to becoming the hero of your story
Greater resilience when facing triggers or intrusive memories
