REMAPPING CONNECTION
An Experiential Healing Group
About
Explore how your past has shaped the internal organization of your brain and body, your sense of self, and your relational patterns. Begin shifting the unconscious pathways that may be keeping you stuck.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A group of 8-12 participates in guided exercises, observation, and self-reflection. In each session, two members of the group are invited to be “focal members” and have the opportunity to process a difficult situation or memory in the safety of a controlled setting. Painful experiences are gently opened and, with the help of group members and the guidance of a trained facilitator, a new, healing “memory” is created to remap the past. Structures are an intense, personal, and healing experience for focal members while simultaneously providing a mirror for every group members’ self-understanding and transformation. Participants learn to recognize what their bodies are communicating and practice new patterns of relating to themselves and the world.
IS THIS FOR ME?

Testimonials
“The PBSP structure with Laura was such a powerful, holistic way to work with my attachment wound and bring healing light to it. Human engagement and even touch is missing from most therapeutic modalities, and in the right form with a skilled healer like Laura, it was exactly what I needed. The modality provides the support needed to “go there” and also tools to help bring things up when there are blocks. Laura’s skill and presence reassured me that I wouldn’t get lost in the process, and I still think of that session as a guidepost in my therapeutic journey.” -Erica
“I actually had a lot of fun even though I was addressing some very early trauma and some very intense fear. To be held and supported while going into the pain was such a powerful experience and the fun part was knowing I could stop whenever I wanted or needed. Would highly recommend this modality for anyone who is willing to risk a change in their life.” -Sawyer
“The PBSP experience with Laura has been essential in helping me identify and then move through my most painful experiences and the self-harm messages I created from them. At moments I’ve been shocked to find what it is that I’m carrying but truly I have now found some healing I thought not feasible. It was not in thought, but in my emotionally stagnant state and through my body's physical pain that I began to see new pathways opening.” -Calvin
“Laura demonstrates her remarkable ability to hold just enough emotional tension in a moment to be able to address it appropriately while still arranging sufficient support and comfort for feelings to move to resolution in a timely manner- similar to a masseuse maintaining just the right amount of pressure to relax a knot. This profound intuition has created a context in which I've been able to access and release consecutive layers of emotional baggage that no longer serve my present life, with positive ripple effects carrying positive momentum for both my mental and my holistic health.” -Genevieve
