What if I sign up but can't attend all of the Sessions?

If you know you cannot commit or devote time to these Live Group Sessions, Course Content Videos and the time (recommended around 45 minutes per week) for practicing, we recommend that you do not take the course (see the Checklist for Deciding).  Plan to attend all four Live Group Sessions if possible.  Remember, you can attend either Thursdays at 8 pm EST or Saturdays at 10 am EST.  If you know you will miss one but feel confident in your commitment, then use the content videos to review the material from that week.

What do I do if I miss a Live Group Session?    

We understand that important things come up, including emergencies.  However, if you know that you cannot attend the live sessions (remember, you have two session options each week), please do not take the course at this time.

What if I didn't watch one or more of the Course Content Videos during the week?  

You will have the videos throughout the month and afterward to review at anytime.  The priorities are the Live Group Session and your personal practice time.

What if I didn't practice the process/techniques during the week?  

Great question!  This process works well but it is like a muscle.  If you don't use it, it won't grow stronger, and you won't identify your personal pitfalls or impulses.  Things won't work until you practice and utilize them.

Can I attend both the Thursday and the Saturday Live Group Sessions?   

You may attend both Live Group Sessions if it is helpful to you.  We ask that you exercise restraint in your questions if you are attending a second group so that others may also have the opportunity to speak.

What if I don't have a trigger-point tool?   

Well, this particular application of the sensory decompression and integration process won't work quite as well without the tool we are using in this context.  You'll have a harder time getting to hard-to-reach spots on your back and applying the process to myofascial contexts.  But it will be okay, you can get by without one.  It is strongly suggested to have one for this particular course but not required.

Where do I find the trigger-point tool?  How much does it cost?

Look for something like the TheraCane Max (it can be found on Amazon) or another similar product.  They cost around $35.  International class members may find a different product is cheaper.

What should I do if multiple family members are interested?

One registration is sufficient if desired, but you would need to share log-in information.  You can attend the same or different Live Group Sessions.  You may want to consider purchasing a trigger-point tool for each person, though it is also possible to share and that's up to you.  You may also register separately if desired.

I don't understand the material?

There can be a learning curve with any new material.  Attend the Live Group Sessions, watch the Course Content Videos, and feel free to submit any questions you have in the Group Forum.  Many questions will be answered during the Live Group Sessions and Content Videos, so lean on those first.  We are here to help and as you gain experience with the process, you will gain confidence.

Why do I have to practice?  

We could do a mini-course to answer to this question!  We want you to receive real value and benefit from this material.  A cognitive approach to understanding will not be enough for integration as a whole person, and the whole-person integration is the experience by which you will begin to actually see encouraging growth, results, and change.  Muscles are worked to grow stronger, and the more experience you gain in the appropriate context, the more you will understand and know what is working for you, and develop an internal (intuitive) sense of what works.

Will this material always be available to me once I have registered for this course?

Your access is guaranteed during the course and for four weeks after, so that you can use all the content videos to review as desired during the course.  The primary material is intended to stay consistent across time, but no content is 100% guaranteed forever, and you should primarily work to internalize material as you are taking the course by practicing, taking notes, and attending the Live Groups.

Will my personal issues resolve with this approach?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  The tools, insights and experience gained during the process may be sufficient for certain issues to resolve or allow you to know what direction to take with resources available to you locally.  Additionally, if necessary, you could consider one-on-one work , future courses and Community Groups.  Things do not always resolve immediately but you should be able to tell if you are on the right track and making healthy progress.  Contact us via Consulting if you have questions.

I have personal questions?

Please feel free to schedule a Consult after completing the course.

Does my camera have to be on during the Live Group Session?

No, your camera does not need to be on.

Are there any prerequisites for taking this course?

No prerequisites.  This course is for anyone.

What if the cost of this course is out of my reach?

Please go to our Checklist and navigate through the provided material.  If, after walking through those questions personally, you feel that this Course is something you want to commit to at this time, we can provide help or reduced cost if that is needed.  See the Course FAQs above for instructions.

Is this group therapy or counseling?

No, it's not group therapy or counseling.  It is learning in a group setting.  You can learn more about our approach on the Checklist page, which has information about how to decide if this is right for you at this time and what we intend to provide with the Course Content and Live Group Sessions.

If I have a group of people who are interested in this, can we request a private class/group?

Yes.  Contact us and we will be happy to work with you or to answer questions.  Typically this can be done with a 2-3 months notice and we can arrange private live sessions either online or in-person.  We do ask that at least one person arranging the group have already experienced at least one Course or 1:1 Client work so there is a basic understanding of the process and so you are confident it is of proven value to yourself before inviting others.  We strongly prefer internal referrals because we want our community to have real, personal experience with the process, a high-utilization rate, clarity, and known value.

Do you accept referrals from other professionals?

Not until the professional has personal experience with the process and it has known value to them.  Please take a Course if this applies to you.  You are welcome to reach out with questions but are most likely to be encouraged to take a basic course and then to discuss referrals based on that experience.  

Can I take this course more than once without having to purchase it again?

The primary course content will remain available to you as long as it continues in the Coalesco Resources.  You can register and purchase access at a reduced rate to the "Live Group Sessions Only" when they are offered in the future if you desire to do that portion of the course again.

Can I purchase this course as a gift for someone?  Or may I help to cover the cost for someone who cannot cover their own course cost at this time?

Yes.  If you are also taking the course, then complete your own registration and then a 2nd registration with the e-mail address of the person you are gifting it to.  If only for them, simply complete one registration, but direct it to their email during the checkout process.
