During the training we will look at neuroscience, psychology, coaching and mindfulness. The first day focuses on how and why we can get stuck; you will have learnt the first stage of the process by the end of the day. All this is delivered through interactive seminars and guided practice to make sure that you understand the tools step-by-step and have a chance to try them out immediately, ask any questions and get helpful feedback

You can think of the training as having two main phases:

Phase 1 : Understanding the Brain-Mind-Body Connection

You will learn:

  • How chronic illness can become “wired in” by the brain and nervous system

  • The science of neuroplasticity – your brain’s ability to change and adapt

  • How language and thought patterns affect your physical health

  • Why you’re not to blame for your illness – and why you do have the ability to influence change

This is about laying the foundations of your learning and utilising this tool to it’s maximum potential. You will see how to create real, long-term changes

Phase 2 : Learning and Using Practical Tools

The way the material is delivered is light, interesting and easily digestible. You will learn how to:

  • Recognise patterns (thoughts, feelings, body responses) that may be keeping symptoms going

  • Pause those patterns using a specific ‘stop’ technique

  • Replace them with tools that encourage healing, including self-coaching, movement, voice techniques, and memory recall

  • Begin to shift your physiology (nervous system, heart rate, breathing, stress hormones, muscle tension) in a healthier direction

These tools are based on proven psychological and neurological research and have been refined over decades

During the Seminar

You’ll attend 3 half-day group or individual sessions online via Zoom. The groups I run can be up to 4 people. Here’s how the days typically run:

    • Learn how language affects your brain and body

    • Explore a new way of thinking about your condition—one that sees change as possible

    • Begin to understand your brain’s role in healing

    • Start learning and practicing the Lightning Process tools in a supportive environment

    • Set a personal, realistic goal to work on between sessions

    • Review your progress so far with me

    • Explore how your expectations and beliefs affect healing

    • Learn why it’s common to focus on symptoms, and how to shift focus to improvement

    • Practice more advanced uses of the Lightning Process steps, including memory and body-based techniques

    • Get support with anything that felt difficult from Day 1

    • Review progress again and address any challenges

    • Learn how to use the tools in real-life situations (e.g. when you’re out and about, around others, or dealing with old triggers)

    • Understand how to keep moving forward and avoid falling back into old patterns

    • Explore how to use the Lightning Process for other areas of life, not just health

    • Final questions, next steps, and celebration of progress

After the Seminar

The three days are not the end of the training. You will get:

  • 3 hours of follow-up coaching with me - this is included in your training package

  • Downloadable audio resources

  • Access to support groups and online forums

  • A manual with everything you’ve learned, to support you at home

Is the Lightning Process Right for You?

I appreciate and know first-hand the frustrations and uncertainty of weighing up potential options and unknowns - especially when trying something new if you’ve been stuck and unwell for a long time.

I would suggest that the LP is really well suited to people who:

  • Are open to exploring how thoughts and body responses are linked

  • Want to be actively involved in their own recovery

  • Are ready to try something different from conventional medical treatments

  • Are not looking for a quick fix, but are committed to learning and practicing new skills

Part of my job as a practitioner and coach is to help you to decide if this is a good avenue for you and the Part 1 audio is also designed to give you as much information as possible before you commit to attending the seminar

You can use these questions here to help you to decide if you are ready to do the training right now.
