With Therapy Bootcamp - using insights from neuroscience and clinical practice - you’ll discover how to get through your transference sooner and get out of your therapy what you really went for - to feel better about yourself.
How? Neuroscience provides the theory
Through hundreds of scientific studies in neurodevelopment and neurobiology we've learned that the brain is shaped by infant and childhood experiences.
Over the years, subtle (and sometimes, not-so subtle) interactions with your caregivers are collected to form a huge database of memories that shape how you come to know yourself.
Feelings are mostly experienced somatically (through your body) that you interpret emotionally. Just like when you were a baby.
Even if you can't recall these early memories, they determine how you feel towards yourself each and every day.
Note that if any critical experience is missed in your childhood, the brain attempts to 'fill in the gaps' through your transference.
Yes, transference is the brain's natural attempt to move towards wholeness and to "make up" whatever experience you missed growing up.
Clinical practice provides the tools
Neuroscience teaches us that the brain can use new experiences tore-wire itself.
Clinical practice proved that with the right tools you can re-create powerful experiences which your brain can learn from. Thousands of clients of somatic, body-based therapists are doing just that.
And because these somatic tools directly access core feelings about yourself, gaps in your early development can be "isolated" and "completed". This means that you can move faster through your transference!
With Therapy Bootcamp, I'll share the tools I use everyday from my clinical practice – honed by years of professional training and working with clients.
Among many skills, you'll learn how to . . .
Really get what your particular transference is all about. You'll know exactly the kinds of interactions with your therapist that will help you move through it. (These are probably already happening, but you're missing the goal.
Transform your transference with bite-size healing experiences (that you practice between sessions).
Re-imagine a positive outcome for your specific transference (part of the brain training)
Feel safe enough to say what’s on your mind (without self-editing). This is an important step to getting traction in your sessions.
Avoid obsessing about your therapist. A step-by-step plan helps control the intensity of the feelings associated with transference.
Imagine too, being really clear about the things that you’re doing now that are helping you move forward and those that are actually slowing you down - especially those actions that are blocking your movement through your transference.
A word of caution
I'm not going to sugarcoat this. Owing to the number of emails I receive on this subject (and at the risk of sounding a little self-serving) - I need to tell you this:
"Some therapies are ill-suited to dealing with transference."
I can hear you asking, “So where does that leave me?”
It’s just the way it is. Look on the forums and you'll notice that some people never get through their transference. Their therapy is going nowhere, and this can go on for years.
It's a tragedy that doesn't have to happen. I want you to avoid the fate of the hundreds of clients that will never see the end of it.
We now have the tools to make this a reality.
I believe you can get out of your transference what is meant to happen. I'm committed to showing you how.
“I had my session with my T. before she goes on vacation...So here I am the next day after my session and I feel mostly fine. No heartache or longing. Old me would still be in tears and not know why...This is HUGE progress for me.”

Who's this for?
You want to transform your transference because you . . .
have strong feelings for your therapist and you don't know how to handle them...
are obsessed with your therapist; it's put therapy on hold...and it's interfering with your life...
are terrified that your therapist will leave you, even though there's no real reason to think so....
can't tell if your therapist's aloof and seemingly uncaring attitude is just for effect or whether it is in fact your problem...
are still dealing with a lingering transference from a former therapist.
haven't told your therapist how you feel and you're worried he or she may refer you to another therapist ...
You want more relief from therapy because you ...
are too scared to open up in front of your therapist; you feel guilty that you're just wasting her time...
worry that your feelings of wanting your therapist for your very ownwill get out of hand...
spendtoo much time in therapy talking about emotional wounds (and too little time on healing or resolving them)...
feel just as bad (or worse!) at the end your sessions as when you started (so you have to live with a lot of churned up emotions until the next appt)...
Get Therapy Bootcamp and avoid wasting precious time. Become a savvy therapy ‘consumer’ who knows exactly what to do (and what NOT to do) to get the most value for your investment of time and money.
How does it help?
Therapy Bootcamp reveals how the phenomenon of transference serves an actual purpose in your therapy. That in itself can be real eye opener! It means that now you get to go back and "complete" those crucial developmental experiences that were missed so long ago.
Bootcamp also helps you understand which interactions with your therapist fosters real growth (and how to use that knowledge in-between sessions).
Finally, it teaches you how to re-direct a transference experience with your therapist into positive healing experiences.
Let me show you the simple steps that ease your way through transference with less pain and more control.”

Your program is like therapy for me
Hi Suzanne, I’ve really enjoyed this first week. Being your client for some years now, I find this course a practical way to spend more time “in therapy” on-line as I live on an island and can’t always get in for sessions. The Brain Coaching Program is so worthwhile and you have done a marvelous job of putting this together to give an understandable process to help us heal from life. Your videos bring you right in front of me as if we were in session. Thank you.
Lovely Elspeth…thank-you, Suzanne

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a "subscription"?
As long as you remain a paid-up member you have access to all content (videos, slideshows, podcasts, PDF's) including Comments and Questions. Cancel your subscription and you lose access to all these resources.
The core neuroscience ideas are dripped over 4 months. For some folks that will be sufficient. However, applying these concepts is a bit of an art since our emotional lives are fairly complex.
So subsequent to that period and in the months following, this information is used to elucidate specific emotional issues raised by member's questions/comments. You will also continue to receive new information such as tips on using your body practice for different emotional states; motivational interviews, videos and written content (to deepen your knowledge and to keep you motivated).
Can I can save money paying annually?
Yes. During the purchase/sign-up procedure you will be offered two options with increased savings. One is for an annual fee and if you decide not to take that one (best savings) then you will be offered a shorter period savings.
If the program doesn't suit me can I ask for a refund?
YES, you can ask for a refund anytime up to 30 days from the date your make your purchase. You don’t need to supply a reason for asking. We may however ask for your feedback to help us make the program meaningful and effective. This may include asking how the product differed from what you thought it was. (Our goal is to make this page super clear on Program details so you know exactly what you're getting.)
Just remember that not only are these ideas transformative, they work for everyone (After all every human being has a nervous system). However, the format in which you learn these ideas may not suit you.
Once you're a member you can use the Cancel button in your Profile to stop your membership. There's no obligation to continue especially if you feel it isn't working for you or you already got from it what you wanted.
I sometimes get worked up or anxious. Will this program help me with that?
You betcha! I guarantee you’ll find these tools indispensable. Why? Because they work! Most of them are easy to do - the trick is to do them consistently. That’s why I give you lots of examples and motivational tips along the way.
