A 5-MODULE SELF-PACED TRAINING WITH THOMAS HÜBL AND TERRY REAL

Learn the practices to heal past wounds and more deeply connect with yourself, your partner, and the world at large.

Our Intimate Relationships Provide the Greatest Opportunity for Transformation

Yet few of us have the tools to consciously deepen our love, navigate trauma, and use our closest relationships as a path toward healing and growth.

That’s why you’re invited to this special course collaboration with Thomas Hübl and Terry Real where we'll explore these topics and more.

The Power of Presence and Co-Regulation in Relationship

Dealing with Wounds Within Our Significant Relationships

Healing Our Legacies: Collective and Multigenerational Trauma

Dissolving Fear into Vulnerability and Intimacy

Eros and Embodiment in Relationships

Growth Practices for Sacred Relationships

Many of us crave more connection and more intimacy in our relationships, but we don’t know how to create it.

And why would we? It’s something we’ve never been taught.

We live in a world that champions competition, not collaboration, the individual, not community.

And right now, our world is more disconnected than ever, experiencing significant trauma and hurt.

This creates a pressure cooker environment in which pain radiates into our day-to-day lives and relationships, even though we may not consciously be aware of it.

Instead, we repeat the same patterns from the past. It feels like it’s beyond our control, as though some hidden part of ourselves has taken the reins.

This training will help you connect with that hidden part of yourself, understand it, nurture it, and ultimately stand it down so you can break down the barriers to true intimacy.

We’re all desperately trying to seek comfort and avoid pain…but in doing so, we’re not living fully with ourselves, our loved ones, or the world at large.

Living—and loving—fully means learning to embrace discomfort so that we can cultivate better, healthier ways of relating.

And that’s at every level, whether learning to sit through the initial discomfort of a meditation to open up to greater spirituality or finally voicing our wants to our partner.

Our relationships can be an opportunity for profound inner change and a safe place where we release traumas that have blocked intimacy, joy, and peace.

But in order to do that, you need a shared framework and mutual understanding of how to support one another and the planet as a whole.

As you move through these online teachings, you’ll experience how Thomas and Terry work—combining methods from psychotherapy and spiritual practices—with individuals and couples who consciously choose to bring their relationships to the next level.

By changing the way you relate to others, you can learn to heal the wounds of the past.

“Learning to listen relationally, listen with cool heads and clear boundaries, listen with the quietness of the heart and the gentleness of the body, means having a self so developed it can afford to yield.”

Working with Trauma in Our Intimate Relationships

We often bring wounds and injuries into our relationships that trigger trauma…

The previous traumas we carry are like scars that can prevent us from getting closer to the ones we love and care for in our lives.

Often, the defenses and adaptive strategies that have served to protect us in the past keep us from closeness in the present.

When we become conscious of the trauma we hold and how it affects our relationships, then we can work with it as an ally for personal growth rather than something that creates a barrier to intimacy and love.

In fact, a close, loving relationship can provide an optimal container for deep healing and transformation.

There are many types of trauma that we can hold, including family of origin and intergenerational trauma, relational trauma, and collective trauma.

Each type of trauma plays a role in how we relate to our partners and can pull us further apart or bring us closer together, depending on how we handle it.

Through 20+ hours of teachings, Thomas and Terry will guide you deep into an exploration of the possibilities of transformation as you build frameworks, learn from work with couples and individuals, and learn practices you can use in your relationship immediately.

You will come out with a deeper understanding of how trauma affects relationships and how to use it for transformation instead of triggering.

Our partners can reflect back to us what they see and hold space for us moment to moment.

Clearing the Obstacles to Love and Intimacy

Often, it’s not the lack of desire to be close to another that prevents intimacy. Rather, it’s the obstacles, current or historical, that block connection and love.

Looking at our wounding and trauma—and that of our partner—is key for couples who seek deeply fulfilling and extraordinary relationships.

It’s in our early relationships that trauma occurs…

And it’s through our current relationships that we have an opportunity to heal.

We can move from repetition of the same old patterns to transformation, with each partner evolving inside the relationship.
