Welcome to Module 8: Double Bind Protocols, Elements and Practice
In this module, we are deepening into protocols for working with Double Binds. Our curriculum will have smaller Double Bind experiences and shorter exercises connected to longer protocols. We are pleased to offer so many options for you to practice. This module will feature 3 long practices plus the shorter exercises. The last day will feature our list of Double Binds in the Modern Birth Setting and discussion, as we prepare for completion of the advanced work:
- Tracking Health Emerging and pendulating with the stuck place
- Group dynamics and working with families

- Practicing being in the present with the overwhelming history
- Self care as facilitator in relationship with binds

Eileen works with adults, individually and in groups and families with babies, children and teens to help understand how early traumatic events show up in the present; and how to transform those patterns toward integration and health. Her current work is a culmination of three decades of study and work as a bodyworker, yoga teacher, Breema® instructor and community organizer (with a particular emphasis of working with pregnant couples and babies) before studying and mentoring with Myrna Martin and Ray Castellino.
Eileen’s work is based in the understanding that each individual has an inner guidance system to their own optimal health. People don't need to be “fixed," just supported in connecting with their innate rhythms, impulses and intentions.
