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
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 how to make the most of it.)
- 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. (For an overview of my approach be sure to read my 3-Part article on dealing with transference.
“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 . . .
You want more relief from therapy because you ...

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.”

Whoa!
What's DeCoding the Brain based on?
Based on on somatic psychology and of course, the latest insights from neuroscience. (See the thought field leaders and researchers mentioned below)
When your mind isn't working optimally, the temptation is to fight thoughts with thoughts. I mean you're probably are a good problem solver. It's natural that "thinking" your way through to a solution has worked in the past, so why not now.
Problem is, you just can't think your way out of a charged up state of mind. The way your mind and your body works, the odds are against it.
How does this work?
Well, the connecting pathways that carry information from the body to the brain far outnumber the pathways going the other way. What this means is that you have only a 15-20% chance of “thinking” your way out of a negative mindset.
Far more neuropathways going from your body to your mind...
...than neuropathways going from your mind to your body.
In other words, trying to “talk yourself” out of a mindset is tough when you have only 15-20% control.
So that scattered thinking, being easily distractible, having mush brain—not to mention the tightness in your chest, the knot in your tummy, or the tension in your neck . . . well it’s probably all going to stay until your body is ready to "let go".
But when you work the other way around you can rapidly change any mindset by working directly with the body. Your chances at making a fundamental change (or having a 'corrective experience') are much better when you’re working with more than 80% of the pathways associated with whatever mindset you’re working with.
It's based on over three decades of brain research in the fields of neurobiology, developmental psychology, evolutionary biology, neurochemistry and trauma research, to name just a few.
Including:
1. Attachment theory (Bowlby & Ainsworth),
2. Polyvagal theory and the social engagement system (Porges),
3. 'Present moment' (Stern),
4. Personality development and brain plasticity (Grigsby),
5. Biology of emotion (Ledoux),
6. Affect and self-regulation theory (Schore).
When you work with the brain, other benefits follow.
Repeat the steps outlined in this Program and you'll find you're moving towards a higher version of yourself. You'll be more present to the abundance in your life. And that's always a good thing.
The brain works optimally using time tested principles.
Now of course De-Coding the Brain won't magically rewire your brain overnight. It does take a commitment on your part.

Not only that:
EVERYTHING from DeCoding the Brain
A comprehensive program for reducing any emotional upset. Matches neuroscience to specific strategies you can use for immediate relief.
(It's dripped out over the first four months of your Program.)
ACCOUNTABILITY & INTERACTIVITY
Being able to absorb what you're learning—especially in regards to applying that knowledge—is usually made much easier when you interact with the material. For this reason, your Program includes several ways to track your progress and keep you inspired. Aside from the quizzes and interactive pages, these elements were created to keep you on track.
The purpose of DeCoding the Brain is for you feel better NOW. Deepening your understanding of why you're feeling better is secondary to that first purpose.
So while there's plenty of material available to you, the focus is not in getting through it all. Sometimes you'll just jump inside to find the right exercise to deal with a negative or nasty state. After all, feeling much better—even if you don't know why—is the ultimate goal.
However, for those left-brainers out there 
once you do complete the coursework for any given month, we wanted to reward you. And just to make it fun, each time you get to pick from among several topic-specific Bonus Courses.
Easy-to-do Challenges. The Challenges are friendly prompts to use your tools daily (and gain points for Bonuses). You'll find it handy to have all the exercises listed in one place as a reminder of what's available to you.
When you're trying to establish new habits, it's motivating to see how much you've changed from where you started from. The Tracker Tool is something you'll look forward to doing each week—and it only takes a minute of your time. This feature keeps a record each time you record your current physiological state.
Even using The Tracker Tool the one time, is an eye-opener. You'll be amazed to learn how many so called "symptoms" are merely variations of ONE problem. (Yes, you don't have a gazillion issues to deal with—working on your nervous system solves many issues—even things you thought you had to deal with for the rest of your life. NOT.
As well, you also have an Online Workbook to record your roadblocks, successes and to note the events that you find challenging. This feature comes in handy as it's not always easy to keep track of events that might be triggering. You can use your workbook as a starting place from which to unpack a trigger (ie. getting at the true source of the trigger and the ideal healing scenario that helps you move beyond it).
Finally, every page offers a place to record notes - with the click of a button. Here you can record insights and questions about your growth in relation to the topic you're reading. Many members use this feature to copy verbatim relevant passages. (Your notes are listed on one page in your Workbook.)
NEW FEATURE. 1:1 Asynchronous Coaching. Sometimes, you have a burning question and can't wait to find the answer. That's when 1:1 coaching comes in handy. You can get your question answered personally. Receive a personalized video response from Dr. LaCombe to your video, audio or written question. You can continue to use this feature as long as you have sufficient bonus points. (Note that you have unlimited use of this feature if you are a coaching client of Dr. LaCombe's)
By the way, you can choose how much Dr. LaCombe will be involved in your journey. The technical platform is organized so Dr. LaCombe can visually see how you're doing. (This is particularly useful if you're a client of Dr. LaCombe's)

Frequently Asked Questions
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 transference issues raised by member's questions/comments. You will also continue to receive new information such as tips on getting through other issues (eg. motivational interviews, videos and written content (to deepen your knowledge and to keep you motivated).
You'll find that many questions have already been answered. Below many of the videos and written content you'll find member queries and my replies. There are also numerous resources linked to much of the content.
That said, while you cannot leave questions on every topic, there are two specific areas to leave questions/comments on using the techniques. Please know that the questions and my replies become accessible to all members (so in a sense your question helps others 🙂
Have a more personal question?
Anytime you complete a Level training, you're offered the chance to leave a personal question (through the Bonus system) and receive a video reply from Dr. LaCombe. This material is NOT available to other members so you're welcome to share details that you might not feel comfortable in sharing with the group. (At any time and for a fee you can also book to speak directly with Dr. LaCombe. Note: members receive 10% off.)
YES, you can ask for a refund anytime up to 30 days from the date your make your purchase. The refund will be based on your usage to date and up to the end of month depending when you started. There are only partial refunds once you begin the Program (ie. once you login and start using the Program). This is because I provide a personalized service.
Please know if you do request a refund, I may also 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.
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.
