Can trauma become your greatest strength?


Dear Reader,

We wanted to let you know that esteemed trauma researcher and Emotional Freedom Technique pioneer Dawson Church is hosting a summit along with other world-renowned experts, Isaac Eliaz, MD, MS, LAc, and Dr. Sue Morter, called Trauma to Transcendence.

Dawson joined us on the Deep Transformation podcast as one of our earliest guests, and the information he shared was very convincing as to the effectiveness of his techniques. He has a palpable passion for making his energetic, psychotherapeutic, and contemplative tools available to people and has worked extensively to heal veterans and others suffering from PTSD, with some very impressive results.

"Why do we shut down our laughter, our joy, our creativity, and tell ourselves all these stories about our limitations?” he asks. "They’re lies! Self-perpetuating loops in our head. It’s time to dump them…love yourself enough to apply these techniques in your life.”

At this online event, leaders will share powerful insights and practical tools to help you transform your pain into a source of strength and growth, turning life’s greatest challenges into opportunities for healing and personal evolution.

Whether you are a medical professional or someone in need of healing, you will:

  • Discover how somatic-based therapies can help you recover from PTSD and regain a sense of safety
  • Understand the potential for post-traumatic growth and how trauma can lead you to self-transcendence and higher states of consciousness
  • Learn practical steps to cultivate resilience and transform life’s challenges into opportunities for personal growth

With best wishes for healing and happiness,

Roger, John, and the Deep Transformation Team
