Video intro to this upcoming online seminar
"Adele and Simon both bring a refreshingly frank and down to earth approach to coaching.
Their knowledge, passion and commitment is obvious, and it's clear a lot of careful thought goes into the content. Adele's insight and advice is spot on. This is a 'must see' for anyone experiencing trauma or going through challenging times in their life.
Highly recommend!"

So congratulations and thank you for signing up for the upcoming webinar Overcome Any Life Event.
Well as we know, life can be challenging. It can throw us a whole bunch of hurdles.
We might be a victim of abuse, sexual trauma, torture, divorce, physical injury, bereavement, redundancy, bankruptcy, or any other event which is significant to us. And those events invariably cause us emotional pain.
But actually what's causing us the pain is not the event itself. It's really the memory, the interpretation, and the meaning that we make of that event that is causing us the pain.
By and large, the events take a very small amount of time. It might be several months, it might be several weeks, it might be a few days. Often it's just a few hours or even a moment in time that just lasted literally a minute or two. And in another, then the situation with physical injury, the physical pain of that passes quickly.
What persists is the memory of that event.
So when we think that event is causing us pain, it's really important to realise that it's not the event that's causing us the pain. It's the memory and our interpretation of that event that is causing us the pain. And our memories are really fallible. They're not solid, they are open to manipulation and can be altered, and that can work for us.
And we actually know in experiments with the police where they've done fake car accidents and they've asked eyewitnesses that their accounts are incredibly inaccurate, yet they thought they were very, very clear about the colour of the car in an instance where they were totally wrong and there's camera proof to prove that they were wrong.
So we know that memory is a very inexact, imperfect thing, but we can actually use that to our benefit.
So I always say about humans, we are just incredible, meaning making machines.
With even very little input we can make up a whole host of connotations and meanings and they can sometimes take years to undo.
Sometimes we can never undo them, right?
So here's a picture of a guy. It's a guy called Aaron, Aaron Debrovici. I'm not sure I'm saying that correctly. Already we're making assumptions just based on his name and this picture. I can tell you this man is a convicted rapist. Now does it change your feelings about him when I tell you that he's actually actually married?
He was married at 18, has only had one marriage. Got three children, they've grown up. He's now got seven grandchildren and he's been happily married for 60 years. Maybe that may change your thoughts about this person. Would it change anything if I told you that he was found convicted of statutory rape because he had sex with a 15-year-old girl two weeks before her 16th birthday but he was very much in love with her and that's the person he married when he was 18 and that's the person he's been married to all their life and they've been happily married for over 60 years.
You know, just that little bit of extra information probably changes your interpretation and the meaning and your thoughts about this person. So sometimes we don't have this extra information and we can make up all these assumptions or meanings about an event which doesn't serve us, doesn't serve us at all.
So as I say, we are meaning making machines and no one has ever found an off button. Always say, to myself actually, if I'm gonna make up something about an event, make up something good. And what I mean by that is actually make up something that's gonna work for me, right, rather than make up some meaning that is gonna work against me.
Now of course that's a constant battle and I'm not always perfect at it, but honestly I find that being aware of that and the more aware of it I am the better I am at creating good memories and good connotations about different situations. And also I could spout off 1,000 different examples, but just take Stephen Hawking for an example.
Clearly had an incredibly rare and disabling disease. I have no idea how I could cope with that personally, but I put to you, he had a very healthy connotation around that event, and also it was an ongoing event for him. And no doubt it did cause him physical pain, but I suspect he created a very good meaning out of that.
OK, well I can't do much with my body, but I've still got my mind and there's a huge amount of things I could do with my mind and I'm gonna make the most of that and really get the benefit out of that. And arguably one of the best, leading-edge scientists, probably the leading-edge scientist the UK's ever produced, right?
So, you know, that is perhaps a bad event which was actually turned to an advantage. And we'll actually find out in the main event, in the main seminar how we can actually work with those emotions, we may actually feel that emotions are causing us damage and causing us pain, but it is a way to actually flip that emotion and actually turn it to a positive.
And that can really lead to absolute transformational results. I should have introduced myself earlier.
My name's Simon, I will actually be the emcee and the presenter for the main event, but our star of the show is definitely a lady called Adele Theron.
If you don't know much about Adele, by all means Google her and check her out. She's the founder of Naked Recovery Online. She's a leading trauma specialist working with clients all over the world. She's been featured in many, many media, particularly in the UK including BBC, Sky News, the Daily Express, Marie Claire, The Daily Telegraph and many, many other publications.
And then I feature her because she looks pretty, I feature her because she knows what she's talking about, she really does, and in our presentation we're going to be talking about the seven foundations of transformation.
There's actually three different things we're gonna be covering in this upcoming seminar, but seven foundations of transformation is one of the key things we'll be covering.
Now I don't have time to go into this now, so still do make sure you put the date in your diary. I look forward to seeing you there.
If you do have any questions, then there will be a questions and answers session during the presentation.
Of course you can enter in questions during the event but if you enter any questions in advance by using the device lower down on this page, the button lower down on this page then we can make sure we've got those answers for you and you will get those answers during the event.
In the possible event that it's a question that for some reason we don't want to take up time in the presentation then we will send you a direct email back with our thoughts and our answers to that event.
If you don't wish us to mention you by name then just say so, or if you wish to use another alias or just initials that's fine. Just let us know and then we can actually quote the question from you so you know we're talking about you when we answer that question in the presentation. OK, so that's all from me.
We look forward to seeing you in the main events and make sure to put it in your diary and get a pen and paper ready because we'll be going through an awful lot of things there. A bit crunched into a short time frame, but I think you're gonna find it very, very helpful.
That's all from me, look forward to speaking to you soon.
Bye for now.
