GUEST TEACHER INTERVIEW
VIDEO SNEAK PEAK
Dr Betty Martin
Betty begins our interview with the powerful statement: “there’s no such thing as safety.”, and in our conversation, goes into depth around the unmistakable importance of consent.
Maira Holzmann
Maira is a somatically trained psychotherapist devoted to healing trauma and attachment wounding. As we know, the more regulated and integrated we are as care providers, the easier it is to create a caring and safe enough space for others. Maira and Shelby co-facilitate a guided regulation practice with information about the nervous system and how to continue an embodied sense of safety for you as a facilitator AND the people you support.
Bev Martin
Bev shares with us the POWER of being "clean", and we talk about creating client-centered and agenda-less sessions so clients are empowered in their experience.
Enrique Collazo
Enrique shares about the importance of giving folks choice and options and the empowerment and sense of agency that comes out of it.
Giselle Jones (LCSW, CMF, CSAT-C)
Giselle shares how to support folks from a variety of backgrounds genuinely feel more safe in our spaces. We explore the HOW of creating "Safe Enough Space" including Consent, Social Conditioning, Inclusivity, Sex and Sexuality, Privilege, Cultural Humility and Compassion.
Judith Sadora (M.A., LMFT Oregon & Nevada)
Judith shares about intergenerational trauma, cultural humility, and looking through a systems lens while welcoming folks from marginalized populations - especially the Black communities. Understand how to tend to your own edges and those of your clients so you can be connected and "real" as you navigate healing and growth together.
TAILOR RAE
Tailor Rae shares about how to support Queer, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming folx as care providers, and the importance of understanding power dynamics, of the "how-to's" of learning about folx with different identities from ourselves, about creating repairs, and so much more.
RICK SMITH
Rick shares with us how we can create conditions for change without causing overwhelm. He talks about what happens when we try to make someone change and offers his thoughts and tools on how to create transformation without pushing someone over the edge into being triggered by trauma.
Robyn Lynn
Robyn describes what a container is and how important it is to have one - both internally and externally. She also shares how to create a non-judgmental space of allowing so that shifts can happen instead of pushing people into change.
