Heal your childhood trauma and experience peace to the core of your being!

Getting Past Childhood Trauma To Transform Your Chronic Jackal Messages
A Telephone Course (Telecourse) with Susan Skye

Childhood trauma and neglect are the origins of most inner jackal voices and most of our fear-based behaviors.  In this course you will learn how these energies evolved and how to establish compassionate communication with these disconnected parts of your mind.

8 almost consecutive Thursdays, Oct 21- Dec 16, 2010, 4:00 - 6:00 PM PDT/PST (11:00 PM GMT / 12:00 AM Next Day GMT)

Fee: $250.00 USD

Take this telecourse and gain information about:

  • How the limbic system works and how knowing this will support you in managing your reactive triggers.
  • How neglect and abuse of babies and young children creates survival patterns based on fear.
  • How to identify any ‘unlivable contracts’ you have made with yourself as a result of the pain and neglect you experienced in your younger years (i.e., “If I take care of everything, maybe they’ll love me.” or "If I'm a good girl (a quiet boy), maybe they will leave me alone.").
  • How unlivable contracts result in loss of authenticity and how to reclaim your authenticity.

The impact of early childhood trauma is enormous. Many of our core beliefs are formed from our instinctive attempts as babies or young children to survive, and our reactivity often results from early trauma and neglect.

Because memory of this material is stored in the limbic system, an ancient part of the brain, ‘talk therapy’ is generally unable to affect change as such a cognitive approach cannot reach this nonverbal part of our brain.

In this telecourse Susan Skye will describe the limbic system, help participants understand how the limbic brain gets triggered, and how to communicate compassionately with these most hurt, wounded and tender parts of ourselves.


Susan Skye has evolved this dialogue process to connect with disconnected energies that remain alone and lonely within us, heard and rejected by most people as "inner jackals." Sadly, most of us hold these 'jackals' as limiting, if not downright 'bad,' and so we often fight and resist them.

This is tragic because these jackal messages are the expressions of tender, hurt and alienated parts of us that are usually very young and who are doing the very best they can to survive pain and trauma.

Learning how to communicate with and care for your jackal energies is the key to healing and integration.

Using Nonviolent Communication skills and awareness, Susan Skye’s process has consistently resulted in remarkable levels of stable, profound and transformational change. The basic format for the class will include a demonstration by Susan, followed by opportunities for participants to practice and heal their own childhood trauma.
