Don't be caught in emotional dysfunction and suffer forever. Life is too short to waste it being reactive, blaming others, or in self-attack thinking. Interrupt reactivity. I know how to help you.
Heal long-standing patterns based in: nameless anxiety, self-attack thinking, blaming others, control or aggression, procrastination, withdrawal habits, or general depression.
Who is Annie Brook, Ph.D? (see about Annie tab in the top menu bar).
Dr. Brook is a master therapist and educator. She has helped individuals, couples, families, and children for over 40 years. Annie trains therapists in her unique methods that give therapists waiting lists and results!
Annie believes in "change the brain to change the pain" and her method, Applied Neuroplasticitytm does just that. She helps clients to access implicit cellular memory, and uses neuroscience, movement, and touch or self-touch skills to reinform the brain. Her unique method of healing blends neuroscience, behavioral science, and kinesthetic body-movement science to bring lasting relief.
We teach therapists and individuals to deepen their embodiment, interrupt habits, and stay relational under stress. This improves quality of life and effectiveness when treating others.
Only offered 1x year in January: A 4-month immersion with Annie Brook. This is a must for coaches! Do the inner work, and get the best in how to market your own programs. Learn to be authentic, not cookie cutter in your work.
For Therapists/Coaches: No more exhaustive marketing! Your calendar will be booked when you take Brook Institute online courses and learn our methods! Nothing is worse than feeling ineffective and bored in your work, or sitting with an empty office. You can take clients to places most therapists don't know how to access, even when they are trained in body-based methods. You can even receive supervision and mentorship by Annie when you take the advanced State of the Art therapy training.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Annie is a dynamic group facilitator, who is full of fierceness and compassion. She teaches from an authentic, heart-filled, intelligent, heart and mind. Annie offers a comprehensive and experiential field in which to explore and understand our earliest developmental patterns and those of our clients. As we begin to uncover these survival-based strategies from infancy, Annie offers new choices for how to be in life more completely and have more nurturing and satisfying relationships. Annie’s groups and online classes are filled with space for personal exploration, somatic practice, and wise insight to bring back into your personal life as well as your professional life.”
Allison Weliky, LPC, MA
Licensed Psychotherapist
“ I learned how to really, really, really slow it down so I am not re-stimulating my trauma. I learned skills to track my own trauma responses/triggers so that I don’t dissociate. The training put me in more awe than I could have imagined regarding early imprinting and the power and lasting effects it can have on us. Now I know what anesthesia given to Mom can do to baby,and I am gradually clearing this imprint out of my system. This training has dramatically and irrevocably altered my life in so many positive ways. Annie models the work so expertly in just the way she “holds space” during the trainings.”

"I have taken numerous trainings in the past and have found that none have covered the depth AND breadth that Annie’s does. She has an uncanny way of weaving everything together so that it all makes sense. Her teachings are unique, as she masterfully weaves many different theories, concepts and modalities into one. I have never been in a training where I have learned so much personal and professional applicable material."

"Annie Brook is one of the living somatic masters of our time. Her lifelong dedication to the somatic life, continual training, and deepening her practice, has led her to astounding understandings of the complexity and brilliance of the body-mind. She is a facilitator of change on a cellular level, working at the very bedrock of identity and behavior. She will open your perception to the depths of the formation of consciousness
and how to be a facilitator there, in that space, helping you to create the kind of change for your clients that is so rare and so beautiful. I cannot recommend working with her enough. She has brought so much depth and richness to my life and my practice. It is a true blessing to have her guidance on the path."

"Annie Brook, Ph.D. has been studying somatic psychotherapy for 35 years and pre & perinatal psychology for 25 years. Her book set, Birth’s Hidden Legacy, is an extensive overview of the field of prenatal and birth psychology. In great detail, it reviews the profound and varying effects that this formative period can have on later life. With numerous case studies, Dr. Brook illustrates treatment techniques to bring about change. Birth’s Hidden Legacy is a great addition in an emerging field. It contains decades of knowledge synthesized from her own work and others, and makes this available in a coherent, easy to read format for all."
