Thank you for joining me and welcome to this month's edition of my Hope for Healing newsletter! I feel blessed to have you here with me. I welcome and appreciate feedback. Feel free to reach out via my website contact page or through e-mail at info@teriwellbrock.comwith comments or questions.
I am so very excited to share the news that my Trauma-Warrior 1-Day Introductory Course is now available at a special launch price of $27. While the 10-Day and 30-Day courses are specially pre-sale priced as they await their launch dates!
So why not offer them for free as I do all of my other resources (this newsletter, the podcast, the resource library on my website, my interviews on other shows, and more)? Well, I had reached out to previous podcast guests who have thriving businesses with coaching, online courses, books, and summits. They offered such sage advise for my decision to create these courses. With a few of them sharing these words of wisdom, "Teri, have you ever downloaded a free PDF or book or course with grand intentions of completing it, but then found yourself not investing the time or energy because, well, it was free after-all so no big loss, right? If you invested your hard-earned money into something though, did you find you were more apt to complete it." That was incredibly eye-opening for me. Because . . . it's true!! I invested $37 once in a course on growing my platform and I finished every last bit of that course. Why? Because I paid for it!
It was an investment in me. In my needs. In something I wanted and needed to learn more about as I grew my business. On the other hand, I have quite a few downloaded free PDFs and books in a "I'll get to those soon" file, however, "soon" keeps being postponed. Definitely an intriguing ah-ha moment for me as I considered my own habits.

One of my blog pieces that's worth another share! I just interviewed on a podcast and we had a long chat about EMDR therapy and its impact in my life. This book was a part of that.
The Books That Helped Me Transition from Trauma to Triumph: A Book Review Series – “Getting Past Your Past”

Book three in this blog series – Getting Past Your Past: Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR Therapy by Francine Shapiro, PhD.
This book was recommended to me by my therapist in the midst of our four year, ninety-eight session, EMDR healing journey. For those unaware what EMDR is and how it helps, I will give you my trauma-warrior perspective, a view from the inside. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. During most sessions, I would watch a light bar flash from left to right and back again or hold vibrating paddles in my hands, alternating left, right, left, right. This would result in my eyes naturally falling into a rhythmic back and forth as I was encouraged to revisit traumatic events from my youth.
What would arise during these sessions ranged from body memories, such as a feeling that someone was squeezing my left shoulder in a fierce grip, to flashbacks of images, such as seeing my mother’s face from beneath water as she held me down, to sensations of a spirit presence in the therapist’s office (I believe it was my deceased father trying to help me). Naturally, I would at times experience panic attack symptoms, and would almost always cry. Sometimes slow tears cascading down my cheeks. Other times full-on ugly crying, requiring a pause in the action.
