TRAINING FEE
$4500 for the year
($1500 due at each module)
This 1-year certification program is for the following people who want an in-depth understanding of how to heal the effects of stress and trauma most effectively:
*Paraprofessionals
*Educators
*Parents
*Practitioners
With this training, expect to master an excellent use of the best trauma-healing tools and to gain an enlightened understanding of the do’s and don’ts for healing. Opportunities for CERTIFICATION in Self-Regulation Training (SRT)™ are provided through this 1-year program in combination with other requirements listed below.
This method for wellness is the result of the simplification and practical application of many sources that have equally played a role in shaping how I work. Those many sources include:
- Training as both an undergraduate and graduate student at McGill University in Montreal, Canada;
- Post-doctoral training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) with Dr. Peter Levine;
- Training with my own SE practitioner and cranial-sacral healer, Stephen Sova;
- Training as an educator in both private and public pre-K to grade 12 schools;
- Training as a University Professor of young, hopeful teachers;
- Training as a parent to my greatest teacher and son, now 17-year-old, Jules Kessler;
- Major influences of current neuroscience, metaphysics, and meditation.
In Module 1 ALONE we will cover:
- The neuroscience behind the development of SRT, an evidence-based somatic method of healing the effects of stress and trauma.
- The most important do’s and don’ts of how, and how NOT, to use the various tools of SRT.
- Understanding how 60 Seconds is a foundational part of the method, and how it is different from meditation, relaxation, SE, and other common tools.
- Understanding the powerful role of shame and the need for its alleviation in the process of healing the effects of stress and trauma.
- Learn how to focus on the development of resources and new neural pathways for well-being.
- Multiple opportunities to practice with other participants, receive coaching, and develop all the necessary skills of SRT.

More about SRT:
Self-Regulation Training (SRT), known to some as the Melrose Healing Method, is a quiet, naturalistic way of healing the effects of stress and trauma. It is the unique result of the merging of my training as an Ivy-league educated Licensed Psychologist (LP), certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), years of study of current neuroscience, metaphysics, and meditation, as well as personal life experiences.
Somatic Experiencing (SE), the short-term trauma-healing approach developed by Dr. Peter Levine (traumahealing.org), has had a great influence on this method. In the 21 years since my SEP certification, I have adapted SE to meet the needs of my clientele through a natural and gradual process of simplification. My own personal recovery from the effects of trauma and addiction, and the 30 years I’ve been an educator and healer, have allowed my work to become simpler with exceptional results.
“The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.” -William James
“Eliminate the unnecessary so the necessary can speak.” -Hans Hofmann
SRT, like SE, recognizes the limits of talk therapy and other treatment modalities that use catharsis and other activating techniques in order to “discharge” stressful or traumatic material. Such stimulating techniques may offer temporary relief, but their benefits are rarely long-term. These more activating approaches, in their lack of a complete understanding of the impact of stress and trauma on the brain, can overwhelm the nervous system and re-traumatize rather than heal.
Like SE, SRT helps “renegotiate” patterns of arousal and anxiety by carefully supporting the body’s natural ability to release over-activation. By combining and interweaving elements of stress and trauma with strengths and resources, a new, complete and more empowering experience is created, thus enabling new, more powerful neural pathways in the brain. This is when clients begin to notice a new and greater repertoire of emotional and behavioral choices. They move from being stuck in rage, helplessness, and anxiety to a fluid experience of empowerment, peace, and resiliency thereby strengthening and building resistance to future stress and trauma.
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, a leading medical doctor, scientific researcher, and once-teacher at Harvard Medical Center stated that the effects of stress and trauma rob people of their capacity to “be here.” He went on to say, that “verbal meaning-making is a secondary part of what patients need to benefit from.” What they need more primarily is to be helped to “move through physical experience and gain the mastery that traditional psychotherapy [has been] unable to help people with. Therapy needs to consist of helping people to be in their bodies and to understand their bodily sensations. And that is certainly not something that any of the traditional psychotherapies have helped people to do very well.” This is something Self-Regulation Training (SRT) does very well.
