Imagine this:

You're mid-session, and your most difficult client is just starting to open up. You have 3 different modalities in mind, and you are scrambling to decide which one will finally take this session somewhere productive...

In that moment, wouldn't it be amazing to know your next step with neurobiological certainty?

Introducing the STAIR Method: Jules Taylor Shore's "meta-modality" that gives you the framework to turn all of your existing modalities into a reliable treatment plan in the moment, so you can be confident you are leading clients toward lasting change, every time.

Forget scrambling to take every course you can find, in the hope you can finally get to the bottom of "trauma." It turns out that learning a dozen different modalities doesn't actually help you get better at your job: learning to use them effectively does.

In this training, you'll discover how to streamline and effectively utilize your existing toolkit to support neurobiological change. This means you will know how to apply the right therapeutic tools at the right moments.

You'll learn to work harmoniously with your clients' brain processes to facilitate real, lasting healing. Because when you know how what you're doing is affecting your client's brain, and you know the processes that will move them forward...

Therapeutic progress becomes basically inevitable.

This training is about enhancing your ability to use what you already have with greater precision and confidence. And along the way, you'll come to understand why  what you're doing works, why it sometimes doesn't, and how you can tell so you can always choose the most effective strategies.

Expect to deepen your understanding of experiential therapy and how to engage even the most reluctant clients in transformative work.

We can't wait to see you inside of the program!

Warmly,
Academy of Therapy Wisdom

STAIR Method Level 1 Training Overview:

  • 5 Core Modules (~20+ hours)
  • 10 Live, 90-minute sessions with Jules (Jan–May 2026)
  • Deliberate Practice Workbook
  • Downloadable audio/transcripts
  • Private STAIR practitioner community
  • Plus Exclusive Bonuses!

In the course, you'll discover:

  • How exactly you need to organize your therapeutic modalities to support neurobiological change so that you can efficiently activate the precise brain pathways needed for your clients' healing, making your therapy sessions more targeted and effective.
  • How to do experiential, body-based therapy for the most impactful trauma healing so that clients can connect deeply with their physical sensations and emotions, fostering a more profound and lasting recovery.
  • Why experiential therapy is phenomenally better at treating trauma so that you understand the mechanisms that make it so effective, allowing you to communicate the benefits more convincingly to your clients and integrate these methods with confidence.
  • How to get a reluctant client engaged in experiential therapy so that they feel safe and motivated to participate, ultimately leading to breakthroughs even in sessions where progress has stalled.
  • Which experiential therapy intervention to use in a session depending on the circumstances so that you can tailor your approach to each client's unique needs and emotional state, enhancing the adaptability and effectiveness of your therapeutic practice.

But that is only the beginning. Self-Trust and Integrated Resilience: A Framework for Synthesizing Therapy is Level 1 of Jules' STAIR Method Certification Training program.

STAIR (Self-Trust and Integrated Resilience) is the very framework Jules uses to blend therapeutic modalities, neurobiology, somatics, and heart into her signature way of working with trauma.

Once You’ve Completed STAIR Method Level 1 Training:

  1. You Will Notice MANY Fewer "Stuck" Moments
    This is perhaps the most immediate and powerful benefit of taking this training. Using a brain-based roadmap, move from “talking about problems” to working directly with sensation, image, and parts—so sessions stop looping and start landing. You’ll learn how to read dysregulation as useful data and add regulation in real time—so shutdowns soften, agitation organizes, and you can guide clients through the here and now.
  2. You Will Feel More Present, Grounded, and Less Drained
    When you shift from “fixing” your client to co-creating safety and trusting their system, it reduces the pressure on you to have the perfect intervention, and instead builds your capacity to be a curious, compassionate witness. By teaching you how to manage your own internal state (your "warning states," agendas, and judgments), the course directly addresses a primary source of therapist burnout, and allows you to cultivate longevity and resilience with every session.
  3. You Will Develop a Cohesive "Operating System" for All Your Modalities
    Many therapists collect techniques from various models (CBT, IFS, Somatic, etc.) but lack a way to integrate them. This course provides that integration. The STAIR method doesn't ask you to discard your existing skills—instead, it provides a foundational, neurobiologically-informed "operating system" that helps you understand why and when to use the tools you already have. By understanding the core STAIR Method principles, you will be able to tailor your interventions moment-to-moment, responding creatively and intuitively to what is emerging in the room, making your work feel more like an art form.

"This is the therapy of the future."

"At a time when there are dozens of different trauma treatments, our field is in desperate need of a way to integrate them and at the same time tie in the latest neuroscience.

How do I shift what I'm currently learning to do 'this' instead?' This framework helps me conceptualize and organize my skills like nothing else ever has….As an added benefit, this training has allowed shifts in me as a person, wife, and mother as well."

You will learn:

    • The autonomic nervous system as laid out in polyvagal theory.
    • How the ANS warning state shows up for you within clinical situations.
    • How self-compassion within the therapist will add to client regulation.

"STAIR is something brand new…"

"STAIR is something brand new in the busy and often contradictory world of trauma-informed therapy.  This framework teaches you how to hold each client with deep acceptance without losing sight of your treatment plan. The more I understand the process underlying why therapies work, the less pressure I feel to fit a client into a modality and the more freedom I feel to craft the therapy to fit the client."
