Who it is for
Founders, CEOs, investors, board members, executives, physicians, surgeons and lawyers who are being sued, investigated or formally accused, and who have to keep performing while it runs. You do not need to be falling apart. You need to have noticed that the case has your attention and you want it back.
Everyone in the room has their own case to not talk about. Case facts are never discussed, by design and by agreement, and nothing is recorded.
The day
- 10:00 · Landing. The first practices of the Legal Trauma Recovery Method™: ground that cannot be taken. Most people feel the difference within the first hour.
- 11:00 · The condition and the machine. The seven mechanisms of legal trauma, why it is captivity rather than shock, what the research says it costs, and why the people with the best facts are not the ones who come through intact. You will recognize yourself. That is the point. This is not personal failure. It is structural injury.
- 12:00 · The inbox. What the email from opposing counsel does to you, and how to turn it into training, practiced live. Not biting the hook. What to do with rage and shame instead of venting or swallowing them.
- 1:00 · Break. Away from the screen.
- 1:45 · Building the vessel. Inner structure and a boundary, so that attacks land on it instead of on you. Then the room: hostile questions, in pairs, under mild pressure. This is the deposition and the boardroom at once.
- 3:00 · The one who watches, and the people who need you. The part of you that watches the "me" being attacked cannot be sued. From there: how to be present with patients, teams and family while the case runs, how to protect relationships from becoming collateral damage, and the one sentence that handles "how's the case going."
- 3:40 · Leaving with it. Your practices, your first three weeks of the twelve-week program, and the option to continue in a monthly circle with the people from your day.
What you leave with
- The foundation practices of the Method, each under ten minutes, and already felt to work
- The first three weeks of the twelve-week program as audio, so it can be practiced while walking or driving
- The composure routine for depositions and hostile rooms, practiced
- A room of nineteen people who understand without being told, and the option to keep meeting with them
- A private follow-up call with Dr. Lyman in the two weeks after
