Training Course
A Personal Invitation From
Dr. Diane Poole Heller and Thomas Hübl
Part of being human involves interacting with others in relationship. And whether it’s fulfillment in work, contentment within friendships and communities—or strong ties in our personal and family lives, these interactions contribute to our happiness and sense of support and purpose.
Growing evidence and research shows that feeling connected to, and supported by others, is vital for our physical health and emotional well-being. However, not everyone is as connected as they would like to be.
With the world in turmoil, as isolation and loneliness grow more prevalent––it’s more important now than ever before to learn, develop and practice new skills that strengthen our relationships, so that we can create and sustain deeper and more meaningful, positive interactions with others.
We invite you to consider a brand new 5-session training collaboration in which we explore these topics and more.
The truth is, as humans, we have a very basic need to feel safe, loved and understood. Despite everything we have experienced (or are still experiencing), most of us still have a strong desire to connect.
Yet, many of us carry core emotional wounds that formed early on in life, and that continue to drive our innermost thoughts, beliefs and behavior patterns as adults. And when we don’t tend to these wounds, it’s easy to become emotionally overwhelmed and disconnected—especially during times of stress, trauma or other challenging circumstances.
When this happen, our minds and bodies seek to regulate using whatever tools we have at our disposal to keep us feeling safe…whether that’s numbing, distraction, stimulation… we do whatever we can to regain control.
Yet in that in that moment, we are not open or receptive to anything other than trying to figure out ways to navigate our survival. We struggle to be aware and attuned. We struggle to give and receive love and support. We struggle to repair and heal.
Yet, there is a way to both give and receive the support, safety, love and connection we all need.
We can use human challenges, emotions and relationships as an invitation to better understand our own awareness and emotional attunement.
Here’s what we’ll be covering in our time together:
- Session 1: The Nature of Trauma & Attachment
- Session 2: Relational Health & Trauma
- Session 3: The Legacy of Ancestral & Collective Trauma
- Session 4: Challenges in the Relational Field
- Session 5: Nurturing Resilience & Post-Traumatic Growth
- BONUS Session: Integration & Implementation
Each session will include a teaching, Q&A, plus live process work with Thomas Hübl and Dr. Diane Poole Heller.
It is possible to tap into our own inner resources, deepen contemplative practices and support secure attachment for ourselves and others so that we can get to the root of and repair our emotional wounds—and begin the process of healing and repair.
And when we make sense and meaning of our experiences in terms of relationship…with ourselves, with each other, with our communities and the world…we can begin to transform emotional wounds into growth, resilience and healing.
During Healing Broken Connections, we’ll show you how to combine attachment approaches with spiritual practices so you can broaden your thinking and strengthen your everyday skills to help yourself and others release past traumas, move away from unhealthy, repetitive patterns—and discover the joy and resilience of transformation.
You can find additional details, the course curriculum and schedule on this page. We look forward to having you join us for this all new training.
Warmly,
Dr. Diane Poole Heller and Thomas Hübl
“When people interface with trauma, it so often robs us of our center. It robs us of our capacity to embody. It robs us of any grounding. But when you can harness it correctly…into this expansion of creativity, aliveness and vitality, you can transform that negative energy into resilience, learning and growth.”
Dr. Diane Poole Heller
“There is a powerful capacity to heal when human beings get together—to be present, to work with resource and resilience, to address the trauma and name it. It amplifies the healing and creates a coherence that is amazingly powerful. ”
Thomas Hübl
Why is relational health so important?
At key moments in our lives, we need to know that we are not alone—that there is at least one other who understands our anxieties, our sadness, our suffering and can share in our life’s experiences, happiness and joy.
We long to have someone acknowledge or validate our feelings and emotions.
Healthy and intimate relationships sustain and support us. They increase our emotional well-being, create stability and comfort us when we encounter stress, adversity or face difficult decisions.
What’s more, relationships create connection to our true selves, giving our lives purpose and meaning. But when we’re not met with the same level of emotional availability—we may shut down, bury our emotions or even lash out in anger, unsure where our behavior comes from.
Fortunately, when you recognize how many of these unhealthy patterns or adaptations first developed early in life and still carry over to adult relationships, you can take the first step in uncovering the source of your emotional wounds.
Whether you’d like to better understand your own patterns and reactions, create a deeper connection with a spouse or partner—or learn how to apply new skills and practices into your client work and clinical practice, this training will support you on a learning and healing journey.
Learn how to RESTORE AND RECONNECT AT ANY LEVEL
Overwhelming experiences can break our vital connections—with parts of ourselves within, with the physical world around us—and with others.
If we didn’t get what we needed in our earliest relationships, if trauma runs in our family lineage or the society we live in, the wound is always present within us.
So, how can we shift the attachment patterns, ancestral or collective trauma to transformation?
The good news is that, with the right tools and practice, we can restore, repair and reconnect at all levels, regardless of our past. It is through relationship that we have the opportunity to heal, repair and reconnect.
In weekly two-hour LIVE sessions, Diane and Thomas will explore how it’s possible to harness the challenge of emotional wounds and turn it into opportunities for growth, resilience and healing.
You’ll discover ways to open up your own relational awareness and expand your capacity for flow, connection and presence with others.
In our time together, we’ll also facilitate LIVE PROCESS WORK with participants—to share insights, answer questions and guide powerful practices and skills that allow us to reconnect on a deeper and more spiritual with ourselves, so that we may develop greater awareness, attunement and balance.
True relational healing is transformational. This course is experiential in nature—and as we expand our capacity for healing, the goal is to embody the work in ourselves, our relationships, our clinical practices and our daily lives.
One of the most important times to do deep spiritual and internal work is when the world is in great turmoil. There is a profound path to healing from trauma, that allows us to create deep awareness of ourselves and our relationships to set our sights on hope and positive action.

- Take a deep dive into the nature of transformation, resilience and post-traumatic growth
