START-NOW Seminar<\/strong><\/p>\n

Self-Healing from Psychological Trauma: The START-NOW Program<\/p>\n

Atlanta Marriott Century Center\/Emory Area Hotel, May 30-31, 2015<\/p>\n

Psychological trauma can put a stranglehold on your life. Childhood abuse, car accidents, sudden death of a loved one, the list goes on and on. You try and put things in the past and forget about them, but it can be hard to move on. Your friends and family may tell you to \u201cget overit,\u201d \u201cmove on,\u201d and \u201cjust snap out of it.\u201d You try, but it\u2019s not that easy. The more they tell you things like that, the worse you feel, because now you are a failure, in addition to everything else. But there is a better way. <\/p>\n

The START-NOW Program will let you take charge of your recovery from psychological trauma. Based on the critically acclaimed book You Can\u2019t Just Snap Out of It: The Real Path to Recovery From Psychological Trauma<\/em><\/em><\/a>, this weekend seminar will get you started on the road to self recovery from psychological trauma. Registration is $450 per person and $400 each for couples for the two day seminar including continental breakfast and buffet lunch and coffee breaks on both Saturday and Sunday. Partners are encouraged to attend. All sessions are open to all participants. Register at startnowprogram.com<\/a> or info@startnowprogram.com. View the trailer for the book here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
