You will see a lot of program's today promoting how to have your best possible life. I have yet to see one of them address how underlying past trauma affects your ability to sustain the practices they recommend. The effects of developmental trauma is not always easy to see.
The proof is are you happy with your current results? Look at your relationship, if you are in one. Look at how excited you feel day-to-day? Do you like what you see when you look in the mirror? How about your financial well being? Are you in a career that you are passionate about? Are you motivated to take care of your body?
Rarely, have I found a person that didn't have some kind of developmental trauma. Here are examples in case you are wondering what I mean:
What I have found is the recommended solutions by the “guru’s” don't address an underlying issue that causes you to return to your old ways - causing you to wonder why nothing seems to work. You start with good intentions. You do everything they tell you to do. You create a "system" to make sure you follow through.
Then suddenly, some impulse or distraction redirects you. It could be another method or framework that you imagine might get you there faster. So you ping over to another program, and the story continues...
As you look back over the years, it's easy to see something has gone wrong and regret sinks in. The challenge though, after so many trial runs, is to believe anything is more than just another "program or framework" to entice you. Now you don't even trust yourself to know the difference.
I finally learned how to put a stop to the nonsense and I want to share that with you today.
Over 10 years years ago, I went back and reviewed hundreds of sessions I had with clients. After highlighting and cataloguing hundreds of remarks and role plays we practiced, I saw a common thread amongst the sessions where clients reported breakthrough success. A couple years ago I began to film lessons for each of the practices and principles I discovered. You can now access this information below.
The goal of the program is to give you the essential tools to make you aware of any developmental trauma that is still interfering with your success today (most of the time outside of your awareness). As you practice the lessons, you will begin to see the habits, patterns, and beliefs that have always been there, right under your nose. I will then show you how to identify them and what to change to get a better result.
And I won't sugar coat this for marketing reasons. Your coping mechanisms and beliefs get modified the more you practice.
Feel free to send me an email at ed at edferrigan.com if you have any questions.
First, you'll want to get grounded in the basics of how to think about trauma so you have a perspective that will motivate you for self change. After you get familiar and practice these tools, you'll more easily begin to see your unconscious mind at work so you can interrupt it and shift your belief and behaviors.
One big confounding problem with having a history of trauma, is not being able to see the insidious pattens that are playing out. It's VERY hard to see them yourself without a compass. In this module, you will become very skilled at seeing patterns, beliefs, and behaviors so you can use the other practices in the program to dismantle them.
A VERY important module. Traumatic memories are painful. Your body is the host of these memories. If trauma happens early enough in life, there is a tendency for the spirit to split off and leave the body. It is very difficult to heal your body if you are not occupying it. In this module, my goal is to show you that your body was NEVER the problem. It was the meaning your brain made out of things at the time that is the problem. And that it is totally safe to occupy your body and in fact a joy when you fully occupy it without all the beliefs discouraging it!
Resilience is difficult when our emotions and fear based strategies are running wild. We need strategies to calm down and get our wits about the situation. To gain perspective. One of the core definitions of Mindfulness is being able to gain perspective in any moment in time. That's our goal. Here are just a few tools you will learn to achieve that:
Integrate each video with a weekly prep email describing the situation and how to apply what will be in the next video. It tees up the next lesson in a way you are eager to watch, practice the lesson, and know how to apply it. Each week you’ll get a specifically designed email to open the lesson, offer insights, and help you frame up how to think about the video as you work your way through it. It will keep you motivated and offer you timely insights. ($150 Value)

This is a good question. I've done my very best to select and assemble 23+ years of research and field testing with hundreds of traumatized people I’ve worked into a system that is easy to see the results.
And there are some other indicators that I think create a solid container for trusting this process...
Sometimes people are just not ready. I have found that some people are coerced into coming to therapy and unfortunately that never works. There is often not enough motivation or understanding of the value.
You see, in the past when they reached out they got slammed so why would they want to reach out now?
It can be terrifying for people who got "less than adequate support" over-and over-again when they were little to reach out later in life. It can literally seem like a life-or-death choice.
I get it. I was one of those people. I tip-toed into therapy.
Most people that could use the help need a lot of motivation to overcome the beliefs they acquired when they needed help early on.
Often, there is zero trust in others. (This is a perfect example of how your unconscious motivates you out of your awareness.)
There are certain signs of people who won't make it in any program. (Continuous excuses, lack of commitment, avoidance, no follow-through)
If you relate strongly to any of the points below, consider it may be a challenge for you to succeed - even though you may have a "hint" of desire...
Here are some signs to pay attention to...
It's not enough to learn the in's and out's of dealing with trauma. These bonuses will enable a quantum jump in manifesting what you've may have longed for all your life.
Most people fear if they open "pandora's box" they will spiral into the abyss of constant processing of emotions. How dreadful would that be? Momentum, will show you how to not let that happen. You will learn to do the dance of noticing your emotions, investigating the meaning, learn to stop feeding the thoughts that make it worse then when to follow through on "What do I want in this moment?" to complete the cycle. You will not only clear old emotions, you will see the genius in not ignoring emotions but also not feeding them and how to move into execution of manifesting the thing you want!
This amazing bonus is about how to move from a co-dependent relationship to a co-creative relationship. Both people take responsibility for their own happiness in this new modern model of relationships. Rather than complaining about the other person, instead you make request! Making request then receiving the answer forces you to either: ignore them, honor their choice, or maybe renegotiate. The question is, will you slow down enough to learn how to handle each of these responses in a honoring way.
This bonus is a reference manual to the popular AWARE program sold on our website. In this bonus, you will receive the 10-Step model that will quickly assist you to "unpack" any emotion or destructive pattern that keeps emerging so you can change it permanently. Think of it as your emotional muse. Follow these 10-Steps and eliminate years of coaching or therapy.
My heart wishes you goodness in life and I look forward to seeing you in the program.
Blessings today!
