MORE ABOUT BRETT

Brett's fascination with spirit began at age 5, when his late grandfather peacefully appeared before him. At 27, in his very first meditation, a triple out-of-body experience changed his life forever.

Shortly after, Brett experienced profound breakthroughs working with a healer who helped replace his fear of abandonment with endless unconditional love. This transformation inspired him to share this work with others. 

Brett completed training with Dr. Kam Yuen, a 35th Generation Shaolin Grandmaster and with Vianna Stibal, founder of ThetaHealing. He also studied technical remote viewing, astral projection, and DNA activation then soon began teaching his own intuitive healing modality.

In 2008, after completing his Meditation Teacher Training at the Himalayan Institute, Brett founded Stress Is Gone and has been working with individuals, families and organizations ever since.

Stress Is Gone Breathwork is certified by the American Institute of Stress, and Brett is certified by the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. His training programs are accredited by the International Mindfulness & Meditation Alliance and The Meditation Organization.

Brett's office hours will offer invaluable guidance on achieving your career goals and discussing complex client scenarios.

FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

Please use the form below if you have additional questions.

This program is at your own pace month to month. To be certified you have to experience 40 hours of live training with Brett and then pass the practical exam to demonstrate you have the skills to help clients heal trauma. Each week you have 1 Live Training on Friday 3pm ET and 1 Live Office Hours session for Q&A on Thursday 7pm ET (replays available in private facebook group). Throughout your time in the program you will have to complete the Masterclass. Optional programing includes Live SIG Meditations on MWF 9am ET and Live Movement on T/TH 9am ET. 

* The more live trainings you attend, the more practice you will have and the more information you will absorb. This impacts your ability to pass the practical exam when you have reached your 40 hours of live training. 

Our live calls will take place on Zoom with replays in our private Fb group. You can go through the recorded content at your own pace: the 6-module Masterclass, the manual, and the Meditation-Movement-Training Libraries. In our training calls I will be teaching, opening time for questions, and you'll be practicing the techniques with fellow classmates in breakout rooms healing any unresolved issues as you learn. Office hours will be an open Q&A session. 

This program is at your own pace. If you attend all the sessions you will be ready to pass your practical exam after 5 months in the program. We will take days/weeks off from time to time when I am leading retreats, during holidays, traveling for speaking engagements, etc. 

Yes! There will be office hours every Thursday where you can ask me anything and get the support you desire. You can also get support in our private FaceBook Group. If you would like 1-on-1 coaching from me, you will have a 50% discount on all coaching programs for 1-year upon entering the program. 

This is a month to month program. You can cancel at any time but there is no refund. If you want to pause you can cancel at anytime and re-enroll when you are ready.  

After you have completed 40 hours of live training with me you will be ready to schedule your practical exam. The purpose is to demonstrate the 3 core components of a SIG Intuitive Trauma Recovery Coaching Session (1) Discovering the core issue, (2) Releasing the emotional pain, and (3) Grounding & Empowering your client. Once you pass your exam you'll receive your certification within one week. If you do not pass you study and reschedule your exam when you are ready. 

The proven techniques to rapidly help others, high-touch access to the teacher, and the community-bond are just some of the things that set this program apart. For those who truly engage; the speed, depth and breadth of your learning, and the effectiveness of the practical skills you develop to help people are all game-changers in this challenging life. Your access to Brett will be greater than you've had to teachers in most other programs. The personal attention to career growth, as well as the amount of personal growth you experience as you learn the tools will catapult you to a next level in your life.

You will be able to confidently address a variety of situations with your clients. You will be able to use your intuition to help surface the source of your clients' issue that was buried in the depths of the subconscious. You will also be able to gently guide your clients through periods of immense pain to endless relief by intuitively knowing exactly what tool to use in any intense situation. Top students with multiple SIG certifications can be listed on our website to serve SIG overflow clients.   

It means Stress Is Gone Certifies that you are an Intuitive Trauma Recovery Coach, who can successfully help clients through various types of stress, anxiety, emotional pain, negative thinking, and suicidal ideation. 

Yes, you will be able to successfully coach clients after this training but if you are not a mental health professional and have not taken any prior training, coaching, or retreats with Brett it is strongly recommended after purchasing the Mentorship Program to read the manual and complete the masterclass. This way you can start asking a lot of questions in our Office Hours sessions and get up to speed quickly. 

Both approaches revisit the original traumatic memory. EMDR is an amazing psychotherapy technique that can involve repeatedly revisiting a traumatic memory while a therapist guides the patient through bilateral stimulation movements naturally (such as eye movements or tapping back and fourth) or assisted by technology (using a light bar, headphones, etc) to activate both sides of the brain to re-program the memory so it no longer solely lives in the amygdala which activates the fight-or-flight response when the memory comes to mind. 

The S.I.G. Method revisits the memory usually once, doesn't require equipment or technology, and re-programs the memory using pure life-force energy. The coach intuitively surfaces the original traumatic memory fueling the client's stress-anxiety-depression and guides the individual to express all their emotions regarding the original trauma. Once the emotions are fully expressed the coach guides the client through a few mantras to anchor their true identity that has no fear and is completely free. S.I.G. sessions are highly cathartic, requiring the client to feel and express deep emotions, and repeat intuitive mantras to release emotional pain. 

 

 

 

 

Both approaches revisit the original traumatic memory. EMDR is an amazing psychotherapy technique that can involve repeatedly revisiting a traumatic memory while a therapist guides the patient through side to side eye movement (and possibly other exercises) using technology to activate both sides of the brain to re-program the memory so it no longer solely lives in the amygdala which activates the fight-or-flight response when the memory comes to mind.

Once the emotions are fully expressed the coach guides the client through a few mantras to embody their true identity that has no fear and is completely free.

The Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is vital in today's society because so many people are stressed out, feeling traumatized, and can easily be triggered and deeply upset during routine interactions in the healthcare and social services systems. Usually TIC involves three components: (1) realizing trauma is prevalent in our society; (2) recognizing how trauma affects everyone involved in an organization or program; and (3) by putting this knowledge into action. TIC acknowledges the need to understand a patient's life experiences in order to deliver effective care and educates the provider how to improve patient engagement, treatment, and health outcomes. One of the purposes is to not re-traumatize patients during interactions with the provider. In the past patients used to say a doctor or nurse had a good or bad bedside manner. As institutions adopt TIC the patient experience and engagement moves in much more positive and satisfied direction.    

The success of the S.I.G. Method is based on the emotional connection and trust between coach and client. The purpose of the S.I.G. approach is to help the client activate, express, and release all the pain at the source of their trauma and replace that space with their true identity. This purpose fundamentally differs with that of TIC, which is to not activate the patient's stress.

TIC is vital for patients to have good experiences in institutions and with professionals who are not highly specialized is helping people heal the emotional pain inside their trauma. While the S.I.G. Method is vital for those moments when a person is ready to face, embrace, and let go of their pain.
