Testimonials

We would like to share a number of review comments from previous training participants. 

​

• This training has deeply impacted me and how I approach my work, clients, and organization.  I feel that things within me have shifted with the awareness this training helped cultivate.  I am incredibly grateful for the training as it came at a critical point in my professional and personal life!

• It has impacted my life at every level.  I’m grateful for that eternally.  It has impacted what I believe my colleagues need fundamentally.

• It feels, now, unethical to be doing this work without this training and these tools.

• I will carry the lessons I learned in this training with me for the rest of my life.

• I have reached a point in my career where I feel it is definitely vital to my heart (and my work) that I take care of myself and the secondary trauma I face!

• It was even more impactful than I hoped for – and more importantly – even more needed for myself than I could have imagined.

• I was feeling very lost, burnt out, and discouraged before the training.  This reminded me that I need to be there for myself and leave attachment with work behind.  It was incredibly relevant to where I’m at.

• You are healing the world with this training.  I hope you remain resourced so that it continues, so that its reverberations reach far and wide.

• I approach my work from a new, healthier mindset. This has had significant impact on me both professionally and personally. Professionally, I’m more protected yet more available to my clients. 

• By far the most valuable thing I’ve done in the past 15 years, including individual therapy.

• I believe the potential impact of this training on victim is profound.

• Helped define the reasons why I should stay in the domestic violence field.

• This was one of those rare occasions I felt safe & secure enough to divulge sensitive feelings to a group.

• The training has given me the tools to stay at my job.  My sense of purpose is renewed and I’m better able to see my clients as unique.  I had lost that and viewed them as a “function of the job”.

• A certain calm came to me as I realized how shared my feelings and experiences were.   In my work now I’m more centered with increased concentration.

• The best training I have received on taking care of myself.

• I would recommend that anyone – or everyone – involved in victim assistance have the opportunity to attend.

• I feel it was one of the best trainings I’ve been to.  I did go back to work revived.

• I am better at setting boundaries for myself.  I am getting more satisfaction from my job.

• Was a light switch that turned on for me.  I’ve known something was missing, just didn’t know what it was!

• Whew!!  I’m reeling from the impact!  Thank you.

• Anyone who has done victim work for longer than a year needs this.  I would make this mandatory for my people.

• Awesome training!  So amazing.  I have been recommending it to everyone I know!

• My life feels fuller after having attended.

• When my work gets me down, I refer back to the training and it grounds me.  I think the training would be useful on a yearly basis.

• This training will allow me to keep promises I made to myself.

• I feel renewed and inspired.  It tore away heaviness and the shroud of uncertainty I had about my boundaries and ability. I am hopeful to last and last in social work!
