Evaluating Trauma Education Designed Within a Spiritual Framework
Qualitative and quantitative evaluations, done on the strategies taught in the Trauma Recovery Certification course, show high levels of personal and professional satisfaction. Evaluations also reveal that when these methods are used in clinical practice, clients report they receive personal healing from their trauma.
My peer-reviewed research article below, describes the effectiveness of healing the soul pain of those who are traumatized, prior to addressing the emotional, mental, and physical effects of trauma.
Abstract
Invasion into the present, of trauma images from the past, can lead to dissociation. Jung recognized the soul fragmentation that can result from dissociation. Researchers reporting an inverse correlation between spiritually focused interventions and Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggest that understanding the spiritual context of trauma might add prognostic value. The spiritually based strategies frequently requested by those with PTSD include imagery and traditional/cultural healing. Research demonstrates that offering the brain Right Hemisphere aligning processes such as therapeutic art and imagery can provide neurological and emotional release and allow healing to happen. Acknowledging that the research calls for exploration of the most beneficial ways to address the spiritual and soulful manifestations of trauma, a Trauma Recovery Certification training program was designed to address the effects of trauma on the human spirit and to provide Right Hemisphere aligning strategies for healing the soul fragmentation that can result from trauma and dissociation. Qualitative and quantitative program evaluation results indicate that graduates of the Trauma Recovery Certification training advance their knowledge of the relationships between trauma and the human spirit and heal their own unhealed spiritual concerns and soul fragmentation resulting from their previous traumas.
Testimonials
The guided imageries are well laid out to use. We received enough practice to be comfortable. Facilitating the Four-Part process makes so much sense and is non-threating to do.
One of the important things for me about this training was learning the value of, and how to use the Four-Part Model for Healing Trauma.
Lori Aliche,
Director of Education, Dene Tha' Community School, High Level, Alberta.
The multiple parts retrieval was the best method I learned and used during this training that allowed me to do some of my own healing. What I learned most in this program was grounding as a safety measure and using soul recovery to strengthen bonds of love. I like Jane’s 4 Part Method of processing trauma because it creates client ownership.
Christina Tranberg,
Mental Health Therapist, Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
What I learned most is that there can be great benefits to working with people regarding trauma through spirituality- our right hemisphere. This has been my biggest teaching – how to reach people and reclaim parts that have been lost.

This is a very hands on learning program. I would recommend it to Teachers, Counsellors, Elders, Community workers. So much skill is gained through this great program. So pleased I took the time to go on this wonderful learning journey!
Rocky Ward,
Program Manager & Senior Resolution Health Support, Edmonton, Alberta.
Invaluable training, suitable for therapist/clients/and anyone seeking information and experience in this subject. Amazingly creative. I am in awe of Jane’s techniques that blend science, medicine and spirituality into a wonderful potpourri of knowledge, experience, madness, and soul talk. Healing occurs over and over. I arrived quite grief-stricken and felt empty, lost and numb physically. From the first day of the training and onwards I felt Jane’s care, presence and confidence as she worked with me. Each day I felt a little more grounded, a little saner, a little more awake.
Terra Martin,
Psychologist, Grief and Trauma Therapist, NLP Practitioner, Toronto, Ontario.
I had the opportunity to participate in the Trauma Recovery Certification training offered by Dr. Jane Simington. Even though I had previously done some inner healing, I found that this training touched me deeply. It helped to set me free, and gave me the hope that I could do more such work – not only for myself, but for others as well.
Fr. Bill Stang,

I really enjoyed learning through experiencing. I feel the ability to practice the skills taught immediately after learning them and being able to facilitate the learning journey of others by allowing them to practice on me really helped to bring the concepts “to Life”. I also loved learning about how powerful and important art therapy is for processing trauma and rapped emotion. I am very excited to continue learning and researching art therapy (a new modality for me) and how I might incorporate it for future clients as well as for my own healing. Lastly, I really liked that Jane had a very skilled and attentive co facilitator.
