COURSE
Healing Trauma: The Stillpoint Method 10-Day Course
With Lynn Fraser
Throughout this clear simple course, you will see how childhood experiences affect the development of the brain and nervous system, and the lasting effects throughout our adult life. Each of the ten sections covers a specific area, like troubling thoughts, relationships, kindness, and compassion. You will learn simple, powerful practices to build long-term strength and resilience and to emotionally self-regulate when you are stressed. “Trauma is not what happens to us. Trauma is what happens inside of us as a result of what happens to us. The effect of trauma is that we disconnect from ourselves, our sense of value, and the present moment.” Gabor Maté, MD

Hi Lynn, I just finished the last day of the course. Your recent reply was so incredibly soothing, reaffirming, validating and (also just on a pragmatic level) helpful. I used the framing and tapping technique today. I've been getting flooded with emotional flashbacks pretty much around the clock since returing from a 7 month stay with my sister and her family. My God... I do not know how I thought that could ever have turned out any differently. I wake up many days with my phone by my bedside and listen to your 'emotional flashbacks' audio before I am able to put my feet on the ground. I didn't even know that was a 'thing.' It's been so helpful in being able to face the day. It's been a guide for me as well in communicating with my fiance about on what's going on and why I can't cognitively put things in perspective and move on with my day. Also, your information on trauma has been a lighthouse in our relationship. My default mechanism is to go into fight or flight - his is shut down or freeze. We NEVER knew this is what was happening. I am incredibly blessed to be with him. It's been almost 11 years now and we are constantly growing. The love was never in question. If anything it's only deepended over the years. I'm sure, knowing a bit of my history and what I've been going through, it has been full of challenges. The difficulties we have faced throughout my illness and into recovery were monumental and still are. Where your work comes in is this: I have no question that the root cause and perpetuation of the debilitating symptoms have their roots in trauma and nervous system dysregulation. After almost of decade of taking a deep dive into eastern and western medicine in all of its modalities, the real work was and still is in the types of practices you teach (many more as well, but the main concepts all align). Leaving the medical model and shifting the paradigm dramatically is what brought me from wheelchair and slurred speech to walking and hiking and being out in the world again. Now the symptoms have shifted and in some ways are equally debilitating, but I know the root cause. Your work has kept me focused and on track. This knowledge and all of the practices give me a kind of ladder or structure to keep going. It actually feels more like a tightrope than a ladder most days, but still, the instruction you offer (and honestly your work out in the world) helps me 'buy in' to the legitamacy of what you teach. Anyway, this is a long drawn out way of saying thank you for all that you do. The compassion, empathy and support has been a sort of lifeline for me, especially on the very difficult days. Thank you for all that you do. Amy

By explaining what happens in the body - how a mechanism takes over and how distorted core beliefs have beeñ 'created', I can look at myself with more understanding and softness. That softness offers space to participate in the exercises. I wish I had delved into this psycho-education earlier, but I have always 'avoided' it. A word that often came up in this course. It is sad. But there is 'hope' and 'a way'! Those are the most important words to focus on. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

This course has been so illuminating for me. At 44 years old, I am understanding so much more about myself thanks to Lynn's teachings. I feel so fortunate to have come across this course and will definitely listen to it again to help myself.

This is a fabulous course. Thoughtfully organized, beautifully presented, rich in both theoretical information and practical guidance. Lynn combines expertise, intelligence, and a deep substantive understanding with clarity, compassion, warmth, genuine encouragement, a beautiful prosodic speaking voice, a soothing measured pace, and an obviously regulated nervous system. What a find! And what remarkable generosity to offer this caliber of teaching for free. I envision returning often — for the wealth of information I’d still like to absorb, the many helpful practices I canely. 🙏

These were nice lessons, but what I really need is to learn how to be self-aware when I am switching to fight-flight-freeze, so I can use the tools and be present. So far that’s been hard to figure out.

Wow, I didn’t want this course to end! I loved your methods, words, rationale adding to my constant thirst for more understanding and knowledge into my trauma. Resilient and calm equips me daily as I walk further into my life, myself and be brave as I be game to explore my talents in unknown areas and never look back on the traumatic hold over me, inside and out! I’m at this stage and so excited to venture into the untapped me, beginning with expressive art workshops.. preparing and paving my entrance into becoming an Art Theapist. I will listen to your course many times, reassuring any doubts and soldiering forward into this beautifully healing platform that I relish in as it excites and comforts art. I am a mature woman, 66, embarking in a Diploma in Art Therapy and loving every module scoring 100% after 30 years of abuse and telling you your dumb! I’m an artist and have never realised I’ve painted my way through these years, healing and comforting me, whilst building resilience by losing everything and rebuilding myself, my world. This course gave me a tool kit to further repair and equip myself to steer forward! Thankyou Thankyou!☺️
