These aren’t just personality quirks.

Often, they’re signs of deep-seated emotional wounds formed in our early years - traumas of “attachment”, silently steering our lives today (even if your childhood wasn’t that bad).

Why this is important for you:

Not only does this let you interact with people from a clearer, cleaner, and more grounded place…

But it would give you a newfound freedom (and confidence) to embrace warm connections in all sorts of relationships:

This course is about uncovering the unseen forces that shape our relationships and emotional well-being.

It's understanding the connections we formed early in life – what we call “attachment styles” - that guide your feelings, reactions, and relationships today.

Traumatic experiences, especially in early childhood, can disrupt our ability to form healthy attachments.

Healing attachment can have profound effects:

I am an author, psychiatrist, therapist, speaker, and trauma specialist who’s spent the past three decades studying neuroscience and trauma treatment. My mission is to heal trauma and bring more love, compassion, and unity to the world.

I began my professional journey as a chemistry major at the University of Illinois in the pre-pharmacy program. I switched to psychiatry after a close family member of mine developed significant mental health symptoms. During my residency in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, I noticed that many of my clients struggling with major mental illnesses had also experienced significant trauma in their lives.

The pain I witnessed in others activated something deep within me, compelling me to enter therapy, which quickly connected me to my own trauma history.

Becoming a psychiatrist at the Trauma Center in Boston under the direction of Bessel van der Kolk was the next right step for me. I was able to learn more about trauma while simultaneously continuing my quest of helping others heal. I was fortunate enough to meet Dick Schwartz at a conference and my career focus instantly came into full alignment. I was now able to integrate my knowledge of neuroscience and trauma treatment with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.

I was the former chair and executive director of the Foundation for Self Leadership, an organization focusing on IFS research and the expansion of the IFS model beyond psychotherapy, and authored the chapter “Who’s Taking What? Connecting Neuroscience, Psychopharmacology, and Internal Family Systems for Trauma.” Never really thinking of myself as an author, I surprisingly felt drawn to coauthor the chapter “What IFS Brings to the Treatment of Trauma,” and the book Internal Family Systems Skills Training Manual. My most recent book, Transcending Trauma is the culmination of my professional and personal journey to date. I am extremely proud of it!

I’m also a lead trainer and consultant for the IFS Institute, an advisor to the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP), and maintain a private practice. I am passionate about teaching, and enjoy providing therapy consultations and trauma-informed IFS-related workshops throughout the world.
