Begins Tuesday
October 13th
This Training will empower you to…
-
Be grounded and clear, with a deep internal map of the principles that drive real trauma healing - one you can trust to guide you even in messy or uncertain moments, without needing to follow a script.
-
Be an attuned and empowered healer, able to meet your clients where they are, even when self-energy feels out of reach.
-
Bring your clients closer to their goals with a generous and flexible toolbox, not a rigid protocol, but intuitive, principle-based tools that help you meet whatever shows up: overwhelming images, flashbacks, shut-down parts, or the fog that no manual prepared you for.
-
Be steady and confident in yourself, not because you're perfect, but because you understand the principles deeply enough to stay present, even when your clients (or your own parts) are struggling.
-
Feel deeply nourished and not alone, held by a supportive, soulful learning community of fellow therapists walking the same path.
Go Beyond Protocol - Learn the Principles That Make Deep Trauma Healing Possible
Back by popular demand...
A hands-on training in bilateral stimulation and Attuned Integrative Reconsolidation -
a principle-based meta-approach to lasting healing.
Take your IFS therapy to the next level!
This Training is for You If…
🌀 You love using IFS, you think in IFS, but sometimes the tools just don’t feel like enough.
🌀 You have clients who struggle to stay in self-energy, even with your best efforts.
🌀 You’re looking for embodied, creative ways to help clients go deeper, especially when talking about the work - replaces actually being in it.
🌀 You’ve seen clients “unburden” exiles, only to return later with the same symptoms, and you know there must be more.
🌀 You sometimes feel stuck, flooded, or even triggered by the intensity of your clients’ trauma or protectors.
🌀 You want a more flexible, principle, and less protocol based approach to trauma healing, one that supports both you and your clients in staying present, safe, and real.
In this course-
Rather than learning isolated techniques, you'll learn interconnected principles - and the many tools that flow naturally from them - so you can work flexibly across the full spectrum of your clients' needs.
Bilateral Stimulation
How to use it in both live and zoom therapy. Auditory, visual and tactile, including advanced 2.0 applications
Memory Reconsolidation
The theory, neuroscience, and hands-on application. You'll understand how the principles of reconsolidation are already embedded in the work you're doing — and how to use them deliberately for deeper, lasting change.
Case Conceptualization
How to focus your sessions around emotional knowings and meta-targets, so your clients reach their therapeutic goals. You'll also learn the art of contracting - collaborating on direction at key choice points and navigating the balance between processing work and attuned emotional support, so you and your client stay clear and aligned throughout.
Activation & Regulation
The art of reading and adjusting the balance between activation and regulation in real time — so your client stays in a healing brain state where real change can happen. You'll learn to work with BLS, the body, and the self-part relationship to keep the window open, even with highly dysregulated or dissociative clients.
Differentiation and Linkage
or Nesira
Understand the roles of differentiation and linkage as core building blocks of any lasting change - how clearly distinguishing a part's experience and then connecting it to the larger system creates real neural integration. Help clients hold complexity without overwhelm, building the internal flexibility that makes deep healing possible.
BASICS - Seeing the Whole Person
Our integrative framework - Behavior, Affect, Sensation, Image, Cognition, and Soul - that sees each person as a komah shleimah. You'll learn to engage all of these dimensions to keep your client in a healing brain state.
Torah Hashkafa
Guidance and resources from Jewish tradition - Chassidus, Kabbalah, and mussar - that empower you to bring more of your own self-energy and emunah into your work.
The Power of Coherence
Learn to leverage the neuroscience of coherence - how deeply making sense of a part's context integrates the brain and unlocks stuckness. Partner with parts effectively, honoring the logic behind their resistance rather than pushing past it.
What Makes Attuned Integrative Reconsolidation Different?
AIR isn't another set of techniques layered on top of what you already know. It's a meta-approach - a unifying framework that weaves together bilateral stimulation, parts work, somatic attunement, memory reconsolidation, neuroscience, and Chassidic wisdom into one coherent, principle-based practice. What makes this integration unique is that it isn't superficial - the neuroscience and the Chassidus genuinely converge. The same principles that govern memory reconsolidation and neural integration echo through the Torah's understanding of teshuvah, nesira, and tikkun. You'll find that the deeper you go into one, the more it illuminates the other. Like the BASICS model at its core, AIR sees each person as a komah shleimah - a whole being with vast internal resources across body, emotion, image, cognition, and soul - and teaches you to engage all of those dimensions to gently hold your client in a healing brain state.
🔹 Principle-based, not protocol-driven — You'll learn why things work, not just what to do. When you grasp the principles, you can select and adapt your own methods with confidence — even in sessions that go completely off-script.
🔹 Grounded in the neuroscience of memory reconsolidation — so that healing isn't just expressive, but targets the emotional knowings that actually hold stuck patterns in place.
🔹 Integrates bilateral stimulation and somatic attunement — to help clients stay grounded, access deeper material, and process across every level of their experience.
🔹 Expands your capacity, not just your toolkit — with embodied practices that deepen your flow, creativity, and authentic attunement — rather than giving you more steps to follow.
🔹 Embraces the sacred in the healing process — honoring how Torah wisdom, Chassidus, and spiritual insight support deeper presence and wholeness.
"I had a profoundly beautiful demo session with Shalvi that brought me a sense of spiritual connection and felt safety—something I haven’t experienced in years due to past trauma.
Before this session, I felt I had failed at trauma therapy, often leaving feeling dysregulated and questioning if I should continue. In just one session, Shalvi’s approach not only addressed a recent incident but also reached the root of my trauma, bringing me the deep sense of resolution I’ve been seeking for so long.
I am profoundly grateful to Shalvi, a true master of her craft."
