Amanda's Talks
Rebuilding Connection:
Healing the Trust Divide
We are experiencing nothing short of a trust epidemic. Trauma fundamentally ruptures trust, creating profound disconnection. When trust and safety—the bedrock of all meaningful relationships—are compromised, we find ourselves adrift. Today, this struggle permeates every aspect of our lives: our intimate relationships, workplaces, families, communities, and even our relationship with ourselves. I'll guide you through two proven pathways to rebuild trust and foster genuine connection. Together, we'll restore a sense of safety that allows people to engage authentically, resolve conflicts constructively, and experience greater satisfaction in their relationships and daily life.
The Trauma TRAP: From Fragmented to Whole, Healing Your Trauma Parts
Trust is essential for effective communication and creating safe relationships. Trauma wounds hide in our subconscious mind and when triggered, show up uninvited and negatively impact emotional safety and effective communication. This talk informs and transforms our understanding of trauma and equips participants with the tools to restore trust in our intimate relationships, workplaces, families, communities, and even our relationship with ourselves.
Rebuilding Trust After Trauma: The ACT Method
When trauma fractures trust, leaders need proven strategies to restore connection and safety. Amanda Houghton's signature keynote guides you through the essential conditions trust requires to flourish and provides actionable steps to cultivate a trust-rich environment, even after crisis.
Through her groundbreaking ACT Method, Amanda—author of The Trauma TRAP, Healing Amidst a Crisis of Broken Trust and experienced trauma therapist—offers proven frameworks for navigating post-trauma recovery, restoring meaningful relationships, and cultivating spaces of psychological safety and authentic connection.
