quest for love book cover with a traumatised young girl line art portraitSUGGESTED READING:

Anneke’s memoir is Quest for Love. In it she invites the reader into the perspective of herself as a young girl living in Belgium, sharing the events of one year of her life. The voice of her Child Self is supported by the vocabulary and understanding of her Adult Self.

It is recommended, if possible, to read this book in preparation for this course (or read it as you progress through the course). Links to the book are here.

Additionally, Anneke has been granting interviews since the book was published. Viewing some of them may assist your understanding of Anneke’s journey and mission, and act as preliminary preparation. These Videos can be found here.

TESTIMONIALS:

Profoundly transformative for me, both personally and professionally.

“In my 13 years as a therapist, I found it to be the most deep AND safe container. Anneke and Christina have distilled a model of healing that honors the whole truth with compassion; where no part, experience, wound or distortion is beyond the healing power of love. The Unconditional Model taught in STP is trauma-informed, accessible, and soul-expansive, allowing participants to engage at their own pace and honouring personal capacity, with freedom to ‘enter the river’ and swim in whatever way we choose to.

What sets it apart is the unity of providers and survivors, standing side by side. This training has given me hope for a better world, where we heal from the inside-out together. I witnessed the courage of fellow participants drawn to this work as a real testament to the honesty and integrity that Anneke and Christina bring into each session, using this model in such a personal and grounded way. By blending the most essential elements of parts work and shadow work, STP has a way of touching what it means to be human, where every aspect of one’s core emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual experience can be seen and met in order to heal.

For providers and survivors ready to compassionately confront the upward and downward projections that we all live with, I can highly recommend STP with Anneke and Christina – humble leaders, who are truly living and breathing this work. Heartfelt thanks.”

Offers an important message for all of us.

“This course [Shifting the Power] offers an important message for all of us to examine where we project downwards and hurt others due to our unresolved wounds — and equally where we project upward and attribute to others some of our best unclaimed qualities. Anneke teaches that full integration as a human involves a self-examination of all our known and unknown parts, and in particular, the ostracised frightened parts that get pulled into the universal power play of upwards or downwards projections.

Refusing to be put on a pedestal, Anneke and Christina bring humility, honesty and integrity as they exemplify authenticity at their very best, inviting participants (and the world at large) to embrace truth and live with honour.”

Started an inner shift for me, for which I am forever grateful.

“The grand compassity and compassion with which Christina and Anneke met my every part [during Shifting the Power, with Love], really did start an inner shift for me for which I am forever grateful. This seed of compassion will forever be with me and I´m so happy to watch it grow.

Christina´s virtuous creativity and clairsentience, Anneke´s clear language and great courage to face her darkest parts have inspired me deeply and profoundly. What was really striking is the magic of the group work. The listening and connecting to my fellow Powershifters gave me so much strength, humility and many many opportunities to look at my hidden parts in the same courageous way they did. A lot of orphaned parts surfacing in this whirlwind of a program over the last 10 weeks… and they are continuing to bravely show themselves. It´s such tough yet rewarding work. With the guidance of God and all my spiritual allies I am confident to meet them all with love.”

A huge shift in my own healing.

“Shifting the Power, with Love” has absolutely created a huge shift in my own healing. Connecting to the different parts of myself and creating a space in which they can feel safe is a process that keeps rippling through. The tools make it easy to do this work on your own, with the guidance of a template and ebook. But I’ve also used some of the tools in my practice already, with really deep work in a surprisingly short amount of time.”

Jorinde Berben

Crucial for critical thinking for all of us at this time.

“The concepts of inner power dynamics and privilege, that you presented clearly as forces at work in the world we all live in, are so crucial for critical thinking for all of us at this time. These concepts were also inherent in the story that you shared about your life, and for me, were illuminating.”
