Somatic Relational Trauma-informed Practices for Medicine-Assisted Facilitation
“I have worked in adult education at the university level for 10 years, and I have a lot of ideas about how to do this well. And I have been in continual learning over the course of my 35 year career in medicine. And I have never encountered anyone who does it as well as you. The way you combine knowledge and experiential learning and connection is masterful. I especially love the way you create the content of the manual and your lectures - it such a precise synthesis of the content, and delivered in a way that feels simple, accessible and relevant. I also appreciate how clear you are on your purpose and main messages.
On top of this I love the way you facilitate, sharing of your story, sharing your humanity, and being in relation in a way that feels honest and authentic and with such incredible modelling of the work. I have some experience of working this way, and I know how hard it can be to get it right. I am in awe you what you have created and how you move through the world Rita, and I am so very lucky that you are bringing those skills to this learning space. This learning will change my life and certainly change my facilitation practice. Thank you.”
