The OI HEARTRAINING^® courses are a part of the Organic Intelligence^® (OI™) Trajectory for Post-Trauma Growth™ therapeutics. These courses offer OI Certified Coaches vital frameworks for facilitating next-level training in Post-Trauma Growth. Rather than post-traumatic growth which implicitly endorses traditional psychological concepts of trauma, OI’s Post-Trauma approach builds on biologically-based resource states which catalyze human agency, vision and purpose through enhanced biological efficiency.

The HEARTRAINING portion of the OI Trajectory of therapeutic programs are in two distinct levels of training: the OI HEARTraining Coach and  the OI HEARTraining Coach-Advanced. Both programs build on the Post-Trauma ethos of healing. This ethos is part of the detailed OI curriculum and practice of healing which is built firstly around attunement—a natural, spontaneous (free association) conversation with clients. These conversations utilize OI Coaches’ exclusively positive reinforcement of clients’ states—mostly unconscious—that have the potential to become disproportionately organizing for the client’s biological system.

 

Courses of the OI HEARTRAINING COACH Program

(Prerequisite: OI Coach Certificate Training)

1. In Biology to Cosmos, systems of support become clearer. In B2C, OI Coaches train to recognize, differentiate, and attunedly reflect the organizing messages centered on a person’s intersectionality. These interrelated contexts are frames of reference, like holding environments (Winnicott & Bion), where humans share beliefs, rituals and where they can typically identify. These frames of reference include one’s biological level of organization as it relates to the family system level, the affinity or clan level, species, nature, and cosmos levels.
2. In Phase 2 participants study the early, middle, and late designations of Phase 2, as well as its fractal nature of the 3 phase dynamic within it. Recognizing the key indicators of early, middle, and late Phase 2 provides the attunement necessary for supporting a client’s growth of integrative impulse in this phase. A host of techniques will be discussed that—when offered in an attuned context— provide the precise support for which the client’s system is asking.
3. In Multiple Trauma Vortex participants will see how nature organizes in recognizable non-linear forms, like the shape of clouds or rivulets formed by water on the beach. These repetitive forms, or self-similarities, occur also within human biology, the human psyche or mind—our associative network. In OI we call these networks the neural neighborhoods, or just neighborhoods, and begin looking for their “shape” by their unique constellations of states, including those constellated around recall of past high intensity events, which people call “trauma”.

 

Courses of the OI HEARTRAINING COACH-ADVANCE Program

(Prerequisite: OI HEARTRAINING Coach Program)

1. Image to Archetype: Healing through imagery has a long and storied history for humans, and holds a central place as an Organic Intelligence framework. Using image to evoke, accelerate, or inhibit states is a key skill; it is especially important, as the Image Channel is a uniquely agile avenue of support when significant Freeze is on board. Overall, stabilization is more likely with the coach’s use of imagery or imagery-evoking language or movement. Image is also vital for priming a system in relation to self-protective movements, and for lighting up the neighborhoods of the Complex du Jour. The deepest integrative states—and the most transformative—are often indicated by imagery of universal symbols, mandalas, geometric designs, and archetypic figures.
2. First 30 Seconds & Holographic Blue amplifies the OI Coach’s vision for recognizing fractal forms in the client’s experience. The Complex du Jour, as the organizing impulse of the client in session, is communicating all the time. The coach’s ability to recognize the Complex du Jour and respond in that call-and-response of the session’s initial moments sets both the coach’s and the client’s system in sync for the day’s direction of deepest healing.
3. Love & Lineage: Intergenerational Trauma Healing examines how our species has passed along specific patterns of disorganization not only along generational lines, but also to the planetary ecosystem. To align with the healing of the planet, we must understand the common patterns of disruption, personally and ecologically. Our biology expects home, our natural environment: hunting and gathering, tribal and clan society, the daily connection with nature, spiritual heritage and an unbroken ancestral lineage. While OICC trains for work at the individual, biological level of our existence, Love & Lineage opens our vision and our hearts to the widest themes for healing societal, transgenerational and epigenetic struggles. These struggles of existential isolation and suffering are derived of the divorce from our ancestral past. To heal, we must find our family, in both the most personal and transpersonal sense of Family.
