As a fellow therapist, one skill I learned in my courses with Danica and have taken with me throughout my own clinical work has been to value the importance of the therapeutic relationship when it comes to trauma healing.

I have taken many courses with Danica on a variety of topics! That said, some things that remain consistent throughout all her courses would be her passionate and empathetic presence. Regardless of what the topic is, Danica’s zeal for mental well-being and trauma healing remain.

I’ll never forget her words—as therapists, we are vigorously intervening on our client’s side, even when they aren’t on their own side. I also learned that the only way we can really do that is to make sure we have already laid the foundation of safety and containment within the therapeutic relationship. I have carried this skill with me for every single one of my clients, and I can’t imagine doing therapy any other way.

I have loved and gained so much knowledge from all the courses I have taken with Danica, and eagerly await future ones!

I've learned that my body makes sense, and I make sense.

I am more aware of my body than I have ever been, and that's helped me heal in ways I didn't know were possible.

Somatic work has helped me to meet myself with curiosity rather than judgment.

Danica helped me understand the value of being gentle with myself, and that has changed my relationship with my body.
