Emotional Connection: Families with Challenging Children
Experimental Seminars
The word experiential essentially means that learning and development are achieved through personally determined experience and involvement. This is distinguished from information received by teaching or training in a group by observation, listening, study of theory or hypothesis, or some other transfer of skills or knowledge.
Experiential Seminars offer an intense personal learning opportunity for adults and teens. Seminars are custom designed for different client groups based on their needs. At Vibrance we offer experiential seminars that range from two to four hour introductory seminars to four day intensives. These can also be tailored to the needs of groups seeking training for families. Introductory seminars focus on the human connection, how our primitive brain functions, how early experiences alter the brain, and our frozen needs that drive how we connect with others. These are for adults or teens ready to take a stand for themselves. The first and second level seminars are to forge a deep understanding of who we are as human beings, and how we function in the world, and to provide a pathway to change what we want to change for a happier and more fulfilling life.
Introductory Seminars: Trauma and Healing
All of us are subject to trauma in our lives. When it occurs when we are young, beliefs about ourselves, and attitudes and behavior patterns are born based on our early abilities to understand, interpret, and survive the trauma. Unfortunately what worked for us as babies and young children don't often work well for us as teens and adults. The processes of early attachment, development of self, and our beliefs about ourselves and the world create the life pathway we choose, and often are not aligned with our personal purpose or potential. Breaking through these boundaries and reaching for self allows us to form effective attachment as adults, and to be the parents for our children we were meant to be. These seminars can provide the foundation for fully experiencing the learning in our first and second level seminars.
The seminars, Emergence and Transformation (below) are offered independently to adults and teens, with follow up seminars with parents and teens together for family work.
Second Level Seminar: Emergence
Emergence is a high intensity personal effectiveness transformational seminar built on self-directed examination of personal beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions that drive behavior and influence personal emotional intelligence, social connection, and professional effectiveness. Emergence is experientially based. Personal exploration is achieved through large and small group interaction, one on one emergence counseling, visualization, and facilitator-driven processes and lectures. The seminar offers a challenging but safe environment to support your personal exploration of early hurts and experiences that shaped your beliefs, attitudes and assumptions. Through this you can create new working patterns through the power of choice. Self-disclosure and feedback are integral to Emergence. Core to the process is reshaping your perspective on what has happened to you in the past and empower you to choose your future.The interactive nature of Emergence allows participants to experience a greater sense of investment, inclusion and ownership in the processes as well as the outcomes. Participants leave the seminar with a strong sense of self, deep interpersonal connections and templates for achieving self defined pathways for achieving life dreams; your own vibrant life. Following the seminar you have the opportunity to reinforce lessons learned and practice skills with a support team.
Third Level Seminar: Transformation
Transformation is the second level seminar that builds upon work completed in Emergence; it offers the opportunity to explore in-depth what is stopping you from having the vibrant life you deserve and say you want. Human behavior is often driven by unconscious attitudes, beliefs and assumptions created early in life that result in automatic responses to life’s challenges; unfortunately these often do not work well for us as teens and adults. Transformation is a four-day seminar that includes extensive interaction with the facilitator and other participants through powerful exercises and processes designed to create understanding and insights on reactive responses, life choices, and existing circumstances. If you choose, this will be life changing; your ability to account for your life and take personal responsibility for creating your future becomes possible no matter where you are on your life journey. You can challenge your beliefs, release distress, reveal and deal with what has been limiting in your life. Allow yourself the privilege of intense self-examination to shift from unconscious response to purposeful choice. Take a stand for who you are, take charge of your life, Transform.
Supplemental Seminars
Topic based seminars are designed and delivered in response to specific demand. They may include topics like effective communication, being in relationship, true purpose, living your values, emotional intelligence.

Emergence Counseling
Each of us is hurt in life. Our most powerful hurts normally occur before we are six years old when we are young and vulnerable. This can literally result in brain changes that compromise our ability to function well socially. All unresolved hurts compromise our emotional well-being and often strongly influence our life pathway. Yet each of us is inherently capable of healing these hurts, releasing the distress, and changing our worldview and potential. Emergence counseling is founded on the principles of self-healing with positive attention. The process creates the foundation for deep emotional connection with others, a place for recurring support and care, and a life-time of counseling that is deeper, more personal and more healing than standard therapy, yet has no cost but your time. To engage in emergence counseling training is a very personal decision that requires being open, caring, and adhering to the strictest confidentiality and integrity. The rewards are amazing and lifelong.
Training for Service Providers
We offer a series of training seminars for parents, teachers, physicians, therapists, pastors, childcare providers and any others directly supporting or teaching children and teens. The training is based on continuing research on the effects of early childhood trauma on the developing brain, from conception to thirty-six months, and continuing throughout childhood. Early trauma compromises the neural link between the amygdala (the primitive brain and emotional center) and the neocortex (thinking brain) that can lead to hyper vigilance, defiance, depression, attachment issues and difficulty in emotional connection, and inability to self-calm. This leads to classic behaviors observed in children suffering from ADHD, bipolar disorder, ODD and RAD and is linked to aberrant behavior in teens. An understanding of the impacts of early trauma help caring adults to create the internal states, behavior patterns and an environment conducive to healing these children and launching them as productive members of society.
