Stress Is Gone Success Stories
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 deepest fear with unconditional love. His deepening connection with spirit 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, and soon began teaching his own intuitive healing modality, including remote viewing, astral projection, and DNA activation.
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.
With 30 years experience in staffing, career counseling, and resume writing, Brett's office hours will offer invaluable guidance on achieving your career goals.

Stress Is Gone Meditation is both great for beginners and deeply enriching for those who've been practicing for decades. This style of meditation is extremely easy and enjoyable, as you just follow along to the teacher's voice to release tension and connect with a deep sense of inner peace and self love. S.I.G. Meditation has a signature opening, closing, and three main paths for the middle portion of the meditation (body points, tension, or pure intuition). Over time, it becomes easier and easier. The more comfortable you become with the process, the more your intuition will guide you. and that's when the real fun begins.
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.
The S.I.G. Method revisits the memory once, doesn't require equipment or technology, and re-programs the memory using pure life-force energy. The coach surfaces the original traumatic memory fueling the client's stress and anxiety and guides the individual to express all their emotions regarding the original experience. 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. S.I.G. sessions are highly cathartic, requiring the client to feel and express deep emotions, and repeat intuitive mantras to release emotional pain.
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.
