    Connections Certification Training Resonates

    "The Connections work resonates for me personally and professionally. It opens a door to our humanity and shows us how to hold it in compassion and kindness. The intensive provides the opportunity to practice the principles leaned in the Connections training and serves to demonstrate building those resilient connections."

    "I loved the intensive. It was difficult, but I felt safe and very supported by the amazing facilitators and all of the group members. I felt challenged, but it also felt almost luxurious to be the group participant for a change. It was wonderful to be in a group of therapists. Sometimes it was intimidating but mostly they were so empathic and supportive, and they provided great insight. It was a very moving experience. I feel like I have a better understanding of what my clients feel and also a greater appreciation for those of us facilitating this work, including myself. It felt so validating. This is such important work."

    "After the intensive my courage muscles could lift a car where as prior to the intensive my courage muscles were barely able to open a gallon of milk!"

    "My training intensive experience provided me with an opportunity to effect a "course correction" in how I experience and respond to shame and shaming self talk. The safety and openness I experienced in both the small and, I think more importantly, the large groups has become internalized into my memory in association with relational vulnerability. In other words, I liked it."

    "I'm feeling super courageous in life and that comes from my ability to know I'm not alone. I'm being much more loving to myself and not allowing those shame gremlins to take up residence."

    "I do look forward to being a certified connections gal and am very thankful for both the training in Sept. as well as the group in Jan. Sept. was great because I got to see Brene in action. She was and is worth every penny I spent. The group work during the intensive helped me dig deeper into my vulnerability which helps so much with the groups I am leading in Santa Rosa and Petaluma."
