Transform “It can’t be!” to “Let it BE!”
This tool can help you cultivate surprising insight about your relationship with helplessness.
Did you know that the major factor that increases the risk of acute trauma or chronic stress developing into PTSD is helplessness?
“Rather than let myself feel how innocent and helpless I was as an abused child, I became filled with self-doubt and irrational guilt that haunted me into adulthood…until I learned to ‘let it BE’.”
--Shana T.

Course Instructor
Deborah Grassman
Founder
Few people have been with 10,000 dying veterans; Deborah Grassman is one VA hospice Nurse Practitioner who has. Dying veterans taught her lessons about how to attain personal peace. Ironically, those lessons came from people who had been trained for war! As a result, a phenomenon known as “Soul Injury” has now emerged as a relevant healthcare issue for the public. She contends that 10,000 dying veterans have lessons that the rest of us need to learn! Deborah is the author of two books, Peace at Last and The Hero Within. She is a contributing author for four textbooks, has 25 published articles, and there are 5 documentary films featuring her work.
