Areas of Expertise

Post-Traumatic Growth

Trauma and painful learning strike in many forms, leaving people confused and demoralized in its wake. The global pandemic has reminded us of how vulnerable we are to loss. However, neuroscience demonstrates that humans are vibrant self-healing organisms. At FFI, we’ve distilled the research on post-traumatic growth into a step-by-step process, enabling individuals to regain a sense of wholeness and wellbeing after loss and pain, and even create a life better than before the trauma.

What we offer:

Professional Resilience

People join helping professions because they care. But caring has a cost. The good news is that the cost of caring, often known as compassion fatigue, can be treated and prevented. Our services for professional resilience are the result of 25+ years of research and development in the area of burnout and compassion fatigue prevention.

ABOUT

What is Forward-Facing®?

Forward-Facing is a unique process for resolving our painful past while living a principle-based life here in the present. It is the marriage of science-based self-regulatory skills paired with resilient intentional living. Engaging these skills lowers stress symptoms while simultaneously enhancing quality of life and well-being. The skills are deceptively simple and easy to implement. Anyone can learn them in a short period of time…and then work the rest of our lives to master them. While Forward-Facing is a bona fide protocol for addressing and resolving traumatic stress, it is equally effective for developing stress-management, resilience and optimization skill for professionals, parents, couples, athletes and performers.
