This in-person intensive was a powerful and life-saving experience for me. The impact of betrayal runs deep. Loss of self; the life you thought you had; your relationship; and your sanity all are impacted. The shock can be so debilitating that getting out of bed is nearly impossible. I know this far too well. I had two huge betrayals in my adult life and one of the reasons I am still on this planet is because of Trish’s work. She saved my life both times.

Trish has provided me with strategies to mitigate the impact of intrusive thoughts; understand the abuse that was inflicted on me; and reclaim hope. Through her intensives she also builds a supportive sisterhood to help you feel less alone. Trish is professional; kind; extremely intelligent and intuitively knows how to best support her clients. Her individual work is second to none and her intensives provide a safe space for everyone to share; grieve; love and heal. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with her in any capacity – do not hesitate.

Trish’s intensive in Los Angeles was a life changing experience. For the first time since learning about my husband’s infidelity over a year and a half ago, I felt seen and validated. Trish is literally an angel on earth. She is the most compassionate and loving therapist I’ve ever met. Not only did she care for our groups’ emotional needs, she nourished our bodies and held space in a way that I’ve never experienced before. As a group, we laughed, cried, danced, painted, wrote poetry, and we formed a bond that I carried with me when I flew back home to Washington State.

Although I’ve been in therapy for over 25 years, I’ve never done group therapy, and I can’t imagine a more supportive environment to process the trauma experienced with other women who are going through the same thing.

I wish there were a thousand more Trishes in this world to care for women going through the heart wrenching experience of betrayal trauma and integrity abuse. She lifted me up and showed me that even though I felt broken, I can also still feel love.

I am so grateful to have been part of this incredible intensive and couldn’t imagine doing it with anyone else. Trish is an absolute treasure. The intensive far exceeded my expectations and that is because of the loving support, care, compassion and thoughtfully designed program for each person. Having the support of other women was crucial and together we listened, cried and laughed together. Trish makes the cocoon so safe and special. The intensive will illuminate everything that you are experiencing with clarity and this is something each one of us is seeking. I have 3 new sisters from this to lean on. Thank you Trish for being at the forefront of this trauma and being there in the most beautiful way. I know each one of us walked away feeling stronger.

Trish has created a much needed space where women who find themselves in this devastating and often isolating situation can feel held, seen, and heard. The skills learned are invaluable, and make the impossible seem possible. She welcomes you and meets you wherever you are, wraps her arms around you with her wisdom and care, and gives you tools to start the process of healing. If you come in feeling broken, you leave with the knowledge of how to begin putting the pieces together. She will take a group of women who feel like their whole world has caved in, guide and educate them with passionate empathy, and send them out into the world with a new set of wings.

I came into her course not knowing what to expect. I didn’t care. I just knew I needed help and I was desperate. What I experienced and left with is more than I could have ever hoped for. My first day was a wreck, I had zero support at home- but I quickly found strength in my fellow women warriors, with Trish at the helm of it all. In just five days, I was transformed. As the workshop came to a close, I could breathe deeper, stand taller, even laugh again – things that felt so distant and unreachable on Day 1.

I owe immense gratitude to Trish for providing such a sacred and empowering space, for helping me find the woman I used to be and loved so much, for sharing her beautiful talent for guidance, and for being a light in the darkest times of my life. Thank you, Trish. You are an absolute Gift.

Trish and her Here I Am Becoming workshop have given me life. Over the course of six days, she led us through the stages of deceptive sexuality and its impact with skill and tender care: I now have the language and framework I have sought and craved for over two decades! But Trish gave us so much more. Our six days flowed with purpose, deepening understanding, a careful, adeptly guided exploration of our own painful stories, the beautiful thread of other women’s voices, new tools and practices to attend to our old story, and hope in pursuing a new one. I feel an expansiveness in me; becoming, indeed. Not a single minute of our 42 hours together was wasted. I will be forever, profoundly grateful for Trish!

The 6-day intensive was a transforming experience for me. Omar and Trish have a thorough understanding of the deep fractures betrayal trauma inflicts throughout our bodies and souls. The Minwalla Model holds the detailed knowledge of what we as the betrayed have been experiencing. Trish offers both practical and inspiring ways on how to identify it, say it, feel it, and process through the most raw and cutting emotions. I walked in despondent and hopeless. I left remembering my power and finding myself again. I still have a difficult journey ahead of me, but I have myself back. I believe this program is for the unseen. Those of us lost in our betrayal trauma. Definitely, life changing. Trish is warm, insightful, having brilliant attunement with all of us in attendance. She is truly sagacious and individualized in her approach to our healing journey.

I am so grateful I was able to be part of the 6-day intensive. Trish has a way of being able to hold space for everyone simultaneously, and tap into each of us like she can see directly into our soul! She has given me so much I didn’t even know I was missing. My voice, permission to unlock my heart, and led me to a path of healing I was running from. I was so damaged from all the years of betrayal and pain, I could never imagine there is hope for me, there IS a path to healing. Trish with her infinite patience, kindest heart and wisdom literally led me to a place of empowerment, uncovered my buried voice, and gave me the confidence to be vulnerable. Being there with her and the other woman for 6 days, was life changing and I am looking forward and ready to continue on my healing path.

I feel truly filled by the past 6 days. Trish held us with so much love as she worked with us. She carried us with such wisdom and kindness, creating the most beautiful shared experience of love, safety, and hope, woven with each woman’s personal and unique individual processing and insights. I feel changed by the connection formed through the true vulnerability that each deeply beautiful woman shared. For myself, I feel a connection to my heart, an ability to hold my heart going forward as I continue to process all that has happened, and trust in myself and the path to future beauty, happiness, and internal richness. I also feel a new felt sense of how to hold space for others and really be with them as they share. It gives me hope that I will be more connected to other humans again, more deeply than before and from a place of being deeply centered and grounded in myself. Leaving these 6 beautiful days, I feel filled up connected, and hopeful.

Taking Trish’s intensive was a magical and healing experience, to say the least. There were so many synchronicities – some as simple as butterflies outside the window and butterfly cards gifted to us by a fellow student. Others were more profound such as three nieces (one from each of us) born within 3 days of each other, with 3 candles set out and lit for each one. The material itself is the most comprehensive material I’ve ever come across in regards to physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and societal impacts of Sexual Addiction, and in particular on partners and families. As we moved through the material, Trish paid careful attention to how each member of our group responded. This woman has mastered the craft of attunement. She noticed the subtle nuances such as a change in breath or eyes glazing over from disassociation, to more obvious trauma responses like involuntary muscle spasms in the face or head. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be seen and held as I confronted this life-altering wound in the safety of this container (the course). Thank you, Trish, for this innovative work that paves the way for restorative, informational, and relational justice for so many women going through and struggling to thrive beyond this trauma.

It was such a blessing to be able to attend Trish’s 6-day intensive. Trish connected lovingly and authentically with each participant. She helped me to dig deeply into my emotions and process the grief and trauma I often try to hold at bay in my ineffective attempt to protect myself from pain. The material is weighty and important, and connecting with other resilient women and finding joy and humor together was so restorative. I love Trish’s incorporation of both breath and art into every aspect of the program. I intend to take these tools forward with me as I rebuild from the destruction my husband has created in my family. I arrived in sorrow and fear, but left feeling hopeful, courageous, and confident.

Trish and her profoundly comprehensive therapeutic work are safe harbor from the onslaught of betrayal and its subsequent wasteland of confusion, pain, despair, isolation and reverberating Trauma.

Trish helped me to finally anchor, rebuild and restore. She helped me understand What Happened. After decades of gaslighting, manipulations, and emotional assault, she brought clear light, deep care, and real healing. Trish adeptly uses a multitude of techniques to compassionately confront the complexities of betrayal trauma, while helping release its root adhesions to both psyche and body.

This Intensive has been a crucial piece to my healing process. I was extremely isolated. To be with other women who were also impacted by betrayal trauma, was an incredible gift. The freedom to share without shame, to support one another, and to again experience deep trust, created a bulwark of strength I sorely lacked before the Intensive.

Trish brilliantly and compassionately tends to each individual in the group setting, that also ignites a profound collective healing. My life is profoundly richer for it. If any woman is suffering from betrayal trauma and has the opportunity to attend one of Trish’s Group Intensives, I urgently recommend they take advantage of this extraordinary lifeline opportunity.  Thank you Trish!

Trish’s intensive is very different from the usual format of betrayal trauma workshops. Not only is her content accurate and essential to better understand the impacts of Deceptive Sexuality, Infidelity and Betrayal Trauma, it provides greater access to blocked parts of ourselves and allows us to begin a deeper healing process. The alternation between psychoeducation content and experiences of art therapy, dance, sound baths, somatic exercises, etc., makes this week rich and unique. Furthermore, the term “sister cocoon” could not be better chosen since Trish succeeds in creating a safe space of love, humility, and integrity for these women who are often facing severe traumatic symptoms due to this deep betrayal and the ripple effect of it.
