💬 WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Real stories from real practitioners who transformed their practice—and their lives—through the Becoming Method™.

"This gave me back the heart of nursing." After 10 years in acute care, I felt like I was running on empty—doing everything for everyone but making no lasting impact. The Becoming Method™ showed me how to truly see people again. I now use these tools with patients, families, even colleagues. It’s changed how I nurse, and how I live.

"As a physician, I finally have a framework for trauma that makes sense." In medical training, we were taught to diagnose, prescribe, and move on. But trauma doesn’t work that way. This retreat helped me understand the emotional and energetic layers behind physical symptoms. It’s reshaped how I approach everything from chronic pain to anxiety. Every physician should take this.

"I’m a better therapist—more present, more effective, more human." I’ve done all the trainings—CBT, EMDR, somatic work—but nothing felt complete until I learned the Becoming Method™. It integrates science, soul, and strategy. My clients notice the difference. I notice the difference. This isn’t just a technique—it’s a way of being.

"I didn’t know healing could happen this fast." The Becoming Method™ stands out as truly unparalleled. I didn’t realize how deeply trauma shaped my view of myself and the world. Joan created a space where I could confront the roots of my depression, shame, and fear—and finally let them go. I now practice with a sense of peace, clarity, and purpose I didn’t think was possible.

"I’ve been a therapist for 15 years. This changed everything." This training reconnected me with why I became a therapist in the first place. I’ve used the Becoming Method™ with clients who had been stuck for years—and within weeks, they were seeing real change. I feel renewed, equipped, and excited about the work again.

"The best investment I’ve made in my professional growth." The tools, the community, the insight—it’s more than I expected. This isn’t just for your clients; it’s for you. If you’re serious about trauma recovery work, this is the training you’ve been waiting for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I’m new to trauma recovery?

You’re welcome here. This retreat is designed to meet you where you are—whether you’re a seasoned professional or just beginning your journey. We teach the core modalities of the Becoming Method™ in a hands-on, supportive environment so that everyone leaves with practical skills and deep insight.

Is this program CRPO/insurance recognized?

The 3-Day Retreat itself does not grant CRPO registration or insurance billing privileges on its own. However, it contributes to the continuing education and Safe and Effective Use of Self (SEUS) competencies required by the CRPO. The full 12-month certification program is designed to meet the requirements of CRPO-recognized trauma training.

Do I have to complete the 12-month program after?

Not at all. While many participants choose to continue into our 12-month Trauma Recovery Certificate, the 3-Day Retreat is a powerful, standalone experience. You’ll leave with immediately applicable skills and insights—whether or not you choose to pursue further training.
