Opening
Welcome, how the course works, your safety before you begin, a safety and referral toolkit, and your workbook.
Pillar one · Body
It Was Never Your Fault
Why safety comes first, your window of tolerance, recognising your signals, hypervigilance, and building a safety plan. Two guided grounding practices.
Your Body Is Yours Again
Why the body can feel unsafe, working in small safe doses, and noticing what is neutral and pleasant. Two guided practices.
The HOPE Model
The full model, working near what holds the most, making it your own, and what it means if your body responded.
Pillar two · Heart
Set Down What Was Never Yours
Why feelings surface now, being with rather than flooded by, what it means when you feel nothing, and the grief nobody gave you a ritual for.
Rewrite the Story You Were Given
Shame is not the truth about you, it was not your fault, you are not what happened, and choosing your own language for it.
Pillar three · Connection
Your Right to Feel Good
When you stopped trusting yourself, finding your yes and no, honouring small boundaries, and relearning that pleasure is yours.
Come Home to Yourself
Trauma and trusting others, bringing yourself into connection, and intimacy if and when you choose it.
Letting Love In Again
This is not a finish line, your ongoing practice, something for the hard days, and how far you have come.
