The Trauma Release MethodTM

The Truth? You Can't Get Something For Nothing.
The Only Road To Relief, Is Release.
    What's the Deal?

    Conventional therapy is for "normal" loss, such as the kind that is expected to happen over a lifetime.


    It has only platitudes to offer for severe, personal loss - the kind that no one ever expects to experience - when you join a club no one would ever want to be a part of.


    Facing the loss of an entire lifetime of memories, of an intimate partner, of a baby, of an adult child, of a parent - while still a child - only gets harder with time because it programs your brain to live in endless grief. Society only adds to it by telling you that it will always hurt and you will never get better. This is a lie.


    You can move beyond the neurological programming if you are completely done with living in grief. You have to be at the point of No Return.

    Don't Expect to Harvest in the Same Season You Plant the Seed. It has taken years to plant the seeds of grief, to yield the barren landscape you inhabit now. Are you ready to plant the seeds of something new? Are you ready to take the pain and use it as fertilizer to make something better of the life you have left?

    Why I Do This Work:
    Why I Specialize in The Release of Severe Trauma

    Been there. The truth is, hurt people hurt other people. I've seen this in those who hurt me.

    The moment I had the understanding that I could become that person, too, I decided that the buck stops here. I will not be that person. I will find a way to change the pattern and inhibit the negative effects. In the process of learning how to do this for myself, I discovered a clear path for others. I will be the person who breaks the cycle. It will not be generational under my watch.

    This moment was the inception of The Trauma Release MethodTM
    WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE? 

    Death by sheer exhaustion, or time to build a new life?


    If you know how, you can easily change the beliefs that keep you in a state of constant trauma.

    Simultaneously, you can clear painful emotions which keep you in chronic pain.


    You can learn to trust again, to open your heart, even if massive resistance prevails.

    This is a trauma-informed somatic practice that is restorative at the cellular level, emotionally, spiritually and physically.


    It's an advanced technology that combines modern findings in how the brain works with ancient practices that have been in existence for thousands of years.

    When You've Lived With the Kind of Trauma That Makes You Feel Like You Want to Die

    It's not about enlightenment.

    Unless by becoming lighter, you mean

    finding a way to live that

    quenches a seemingly insatiable thirst!


    But you must be willing to feel again.

    You May Say You Want to Be Free
    I can say you will be.
    What People Are Saying
    About iRest
    >>>iRest is just one aspect of the Trauma Release Method, but it's a potent piece.<<<
    “I was at my wit’s end and this was my last resort. [iRest’s] done more for me and my mental health in the short time I've been going than the prison has in all the months I've been in.” —Resident, Her Majesty’s Prison Lewes
    "The power of iRest to foster personal healing and wellbeing is only the beginning. Ultimately, the exponential impact of this practice leads to a new world of equality and collective peace through the resolution of conflict and the recognition of our interconnectedness." ~iRest Institute

    If you’d like to understand more about how our teachers are effecting sustainable positive change, and who they’re helping, we invite you to read the new article showcasing their impact around the world. Learn about their important work which includes assisting those in prison, addiction rehabilitation, first-responder roles, end-of-life facilities, the military, and even cybersecurity. 
    “In delivering iRest to different people, I’ve witnessed its transformational power. With tears in her eyes one lady told me, ‘I’ve had so many disorders since I was a kid. I’ve never before felt this much relief.’ A man who’s struggled with PTSI for over 10 years told me, ‘I’ve gone to many different places and tried many different ways to deal with my PTSI. This saved me. I feel ok now, and I will continue.’” —Jing Qian, Certified iRest Teacher
    “The suicide rates in the military and first responder communities are staggering. When we can train people in these professions to find ease through the practice of iRest, they are the first to share it with those around them. And like your contribution, the effects of the practice are immeasurable. If we want to change the world for the better, this is a beautiful place to start.” —Jennifer Boileau, Certified iRest Teacher
    Gabrielle Pullen, MFA, GCFP
    Level II Certified iRest Instructor
    "After I started working with Gabrielle, I found the peace I long for was creeping into my life in unexpected ways. I experience calm in frustrating situations. My reactions to situations are way different. I can see other ways of viewing things. I don’t work at this - I don’t do anything. I merely attend the meditations or listen to the CD’s." ~Pam Perkins
    "PTSD was raging and I couldn't get rid of it...I would lash out at people, get overwhelmed and always looking for a bunker, a place to get away. Getting to a different place started with going to iRest sessions with Gabrielle. I started to notice people looking back at me, like I wasn't projecting rage any more...I didn't see that for many years but whatever I was projecting outwards was different."  ~Richard Lowry, Retired Air Force, Vietnam Veteran
    "I have to say, the vibration of who you are is just inspiring! This work you are doing is great!
    I super appreciate you!" Cassie - Jacksonville, OR

    There are many studies showing that meditation changes the structure of the brain. A review of the research, published in the prestigious journal Nature Reviews Neuroscience (Tang, Hölzel, & Posner, 2015), included 21 MRI studies.

    Researchers identified neural growth in “multiple brain regions...suggesting that the effects of meditation might involve large-scale brain networks.”

    Researchers identified neural growth in “multiple brain regions...suggesting that the effects of meditation might involve large-scale brain networks.” They measured increases in the volume of “brain regions involved in attention control (the anterior cingulate cortex and the striatum), emotional regulation (mul- tiple prefrontal regions, limbic regions and the striatum) and self awareness (the insula, medial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex and precuneus).”


    These changes represent effortless changes in cognition, awareness, perception and mood - especially with the iRest process of meditation, because it is done lying down. It's guided, so you can relax. It's a process that teaches you to expand your mind at rest. iRest is based on Yoga Nidra meditation, which translates from the original Sanskrit as, "lucid dreaming." iRest was adapted from Yoga Nidra by Psychologist, Yogic Philosophy Scholar and Practitioner, Richard Miller, after he completed a study with the US military to establish that it facilitates re-entry into civilian life after active duty.

    Research


    Massive amounts of research have been done validating the iRest process, which is a specific protocol that takes Yoga Nidra and Non-Sleep Deep Rest to the next level.
