Our world is scary and dark.
This video is fundamentally different because it brings lightness to this darkness.
· So you can see a dramatically different, friendlier world. And when you see better, you do better for yourself and loved ones.
· So you can forge a peaceful relationship with trauma. Because you see the light of hope as well as the lightness of understanding.
· So you can see a brighter way to a better life. Because there’s less fear, grief, shame and anger. Or of any of the other powerful feelings that come with trauma.
· So you have the tools to help you along your way. Your wisdom wins out over the tiger. And the tiger becomes a cute and cuddly cub that just wants to play.
· So you can restore your connection with yourself and others. Because you’re mastering the trauma that’s been keeping you apart.

About the speakers
Here's a message from Simon...
I was adopted at 5 weeks old and told so young I don't ever remember not knowing.
I wasn't conscious of any trauma until I found out that the teddy bear I've had for 40 years was a gift from my birth mother.
That unleashed an eruption of anger, feeling rejected and unloved. That led to a quest to heal, healing and a desire to help others.
Adoption is personal for me. I want to make a BIG difference for you. I've interviewed over 400 adoptive parents, adoptees, birth mothers and adoption professionals over the last 3 years. And I've run webinars for many, many more.
My sole purpose is to understand what helps adoptees thrive and share that.
Join us on this webinar and hear how to tame the tiger - make trauma less traumatic.
Here's a message from Jude...
I was relinquished and taken home with the strangers who became my family at 2 days old. Like Simon, I always knew I was adopted. My mom told me that she told me the first time she held me because she was afraid if she didn’t then she never would.
Growing up I held a lot of feelings inside myself that I was too afraid to share with my family. This caused me to feel separate and isolated. I carried my heavy burdens alone and didn’t realize they stemmed from my adoption until 2019, when I received a letter from my birth mother and two days later, began sobbing with grief.
Since that time I have worked on my own healing and supported other adoptees in theirs. I am passionate about supporting adoptive parents because I know that had my parents understood the complexities that I was navigating they would have done things differently. My trauma kept me from seeing the fullness of my parents' love until I was 50, I want to help create change for those young adoptees who need to have a felt sense of safety, belonging and connection.
