Additionally, I’ve trained in advanced skills and competencies (including the topics of guides, unattached burdens, Self essence, and legacy burdens) and Self-led grieving with Derek Scott, Self-like parts with Pam Krause, Legacy Burdens with Kay Gardner, embodying anti-racism while living in a white body with Jess Finney and Delta Larkey, and Somatic IFS, including an experiential week-long retreat and Step 2 training focused on Somatic IFS application, with Susan McConnell.
