I came across the SBSM program by sheer ‘accident’ – I was clearing out my email Junk folder and almost deleted the email but something in the title caught my eye – something along the lines of Trauma Releasing and as I’d been through a very difficult 4 yrs and had some new trauma enter my life, and because I believe in synchronicity, I thought I’d take a look Well, that’s when my real journey began – I had been to psychologist after psychologist, tried a myriad alternative and spiritual practices which I still implement, etc. which all helped to a certain point but I knew both intuitively and physically that I had trapped emotions in my body, I literally felt them and I knew I needed to ‘get them out’ in order to heal but didn’t know how. When I watched Irene’s 3 free healing trauma videos I felt a surge of hope and I wanted to try the program out but it was quite expensive and wouldn’t be an easy journey either. It was a tough decision to initially make as I’d handed over so much money already trying to find the right thing for me and was struggling financially and knew the program was a lot of money for me to spend. After many weeks of indecision I finally came to the conclusion that this felt ‘right’ for me and if I didn’t at least try it nothing would change and I literally couldn’t keep going the way I was. So I managed to scrape the money together, made many sacrifices, and with the payment plan made it workable. Irene was also completely upfront about the commitment the program would require, financially, emotionally and physically, BUT the huge benefit was that once you became a member of the program you became a life member, had ongoing access to the content and was able to also attend the program when it was run live each time (online). I thought, wow this is indeed an investment, once paid there’s no more costs and you get ongoing support and a member’s group to connect with any time so you won’t ever feel alone or broken again AND forever! So I made the commitment and felt very nervous about all the stuff that would come up and I did struggle throughout the whole program as did many others. I did manage to go through the program completely which I didn’t know if I’d be able to as it does bring up a lot of stuff but with Irene and her team’s full support and encouragement to go at our own pace and no shame if you did drop out in this round there was no pressure, only encouragement and opportunities to challenge ourselves. I feel totally empowered now and have so many tools which I’m beginning to remember to implement in my daily life and can check in with our Facebook group anytime. I would encourage anyone who truly wants to understand and release trapped trauma and especially those who have tried everything else with little or no lasting results, to try this all encompassing program. It’s not a quick fix, there’s no certificate at the end as there is no end – this is a lifelong journey of discovery, understanding, integration and release but it is one of EMPOWERMENT and as Irene says, as we heal ourselves we heal others along the way, so we are all helping humanity release collective trapped trauma. What an awesome thing to create!
