So our knowledge, skills and strategies are vital.
Nancy Verrier’s Primal Wound (1993) changed the game by bringing awareness to the impact of separation from one's mother.
But 32 years on there's growing support for what's more of a Primal Paradox.
Experts such as Richard Schwartz point to an unwoundable essence under the trauma.
According to Peter Levine, "Trauma is a fact of life but it's not a life sentance."
Trauma happens to us all. It shapes our beliefs and behaviours, but it does not define who we are...whether we are an adoptee, adopter, adoption professional or birth mother.
So trauma hides us, but it does not harm our essence.
Knowing, and more importantly, feeling that profound truth brings huge benefits:
ending the endless questions on how to heal.
shortcutting the healing process
by taking us to wholeness in an instant.
When we see this for ourselves, we can empower the adoptive parents we support.
When adoptive parents see it for themselves, they stop seeing their child as damaged and start reflecting their child’s wholeness back to them.
This shift is where true healing happens—not by fixing, but by seeing ourselves clearly.
In this transformative webinar, we’ll explore:
✅ The Truth About Trauma – Why trauma doesn’t define any of us and how to see it in an empowering way
✅ Seeing the Whole Adoptee – How to help adoptive parents recognize their child/teens' innate wholeness beneath the layers of trauma.
✅ Mirroring Wholeness – How parents’ perceptions shape their child’s self-view, and how to shift from “fixing” to seeing.
✅ The Power of Perspective – Practical tools and strategies to guide families toward deeper connection, resilience, and thriving
This isn’t just about helping others—it’s about re-energising you as a professional.
When we see trauma differently, we support families more effectively, and that rekindles our passion for this work.
If you’re seeking fresh, powerful insights and the most effective strategies to guide adoptive parents, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge and clarity you’ve been looking for.
