Pamela Rosin, MFT is the founder of ReParentive® Therapy. A certified Hakomi Therapist, she utilizes experientially based modalities and a synergy of Buddhist and somatic psychologies to cultivate healing. She integrates her professional acting background, a decade as a bodyworker, and years of teaching Shakespeare in prison.
Pamela draws from a multitude of experience in various educational and therapeutic arenas. She embodies the precepts of ReParentive Therapy, bringing relational, loving presence to support learning. Pamela’s creativity, ability to personalize the material, and emphasis on nervous system regulation all come together to support students’ access and integration.
A graduate of the Integral Counseling Psychology program at the California Institute of Integral Studies, where she is currently an adjunct faculty member, Pamela’s therapeutic orientation has been influenced by the Eastern/Western blend provided at CIIS, traditional Freudian, psychodynamic, and transpersonal approaches, and by the many wise mentors and guides with whom she has traveled.
Filling Our Cup First:
A Restorative ReParentive® Daylong Course for Therapists
We are all feeling the impact of working as therapists in today’s highly volatile world. Carving out the time for learning can be challenging when we’re carrying so much.
This daylong retreat for therapists who work with complex trauma is designed to nourish you deeply, let you take in the care and witnessing of a circle and give you tools to release some of what you’ve been carrying. This brief yet deep dive into nourishment and co-regulation will be highly experiential, varied and even fun. Come away with new tools and theory that you can apply to your client work and self care starting Monday morning. Paradoxically, adding this one more thing to your schedule might actually let you feel more spacious, more grounded and more rested come Monday morning.
If a “Restorative workshop on Developmental Trauma” seems like an oxymoron, you haven’t experienced ReParentive® Therapy!
Spend the day with a settled nervous system, as Pamela masterfully helps you weave the following into your system: targeted somatic resourcing, the co-regulation of the retreat cohort, pacing that allows for metabolization, guided visualizations, restorative practices, humor, genuine attunement to self and other.
Your centered, regulated state enhances learning about developmental trauma which is further reinforced by Reparentive Therapy’s (RPT) multifaceted approach. This includes:
Interactive, theory-based didactics
Journaling
Mindfulness practices
Somatic resourcing
Somatic experiential activities
Dyadic and group debriefs
Relational psychoeducation
Come away with new approaches for your clients, deeper states of self compassion, insights about developmental trauma and an abundance of tools to support you on your journey as a therapist ahead. Working with folks who have early childhood trauma can be rewarding, invigorating and even fun!
What is ReParentive® Therapy?
Growing Ourselves Whole is a highly impactful, ten-week therapy group for adult clients with a loved one with Borderline Personality Disorder, which Pamela has led thirteen times. Clients and therapists alike report that the group equates to many years worth of therapy. In order to operationalize the modality for other therapists, Pamela developed ten ReParentive Principles, nine Buckets of Healing, and trademarked the term ReParentive for educational and therapeutic use. As ReParentive Therapy has evolved, it has proven effective and applicable to wider spheres, including any clients with developmental trauma.
This daylong retreat will introduce you to ReParentive Therapy experientially and theoretically: via somatic and group experientials drawn directly from the therapy group, woven together with didactic sessions which explain ReParentive Therapy’s core insights and approach to developmental trauma. Simultaneously, every aspect of the retreat delivers the essence of ReParentive Therapy by tending to your nervous system. The mindful and attuned pacing supports your learning and integration. The intention is for you to return to clients on Monday morning feeling personally resourced and equipped with new tools and insights.

What People Are Saying About Pamela's ReParentive Groups:
“I have had several patients complete Pamela’s group. This is truly a pivotal experience for people who carry great suffering and damage from childhood. Anyone wanting to work with people who suffered from emotionally immature or abusive families will gain tremendous experience in how to reach these patients and truly transform their healing process.” - Ben Elitzur, MD
“Just wanted to say how lovely it was to get a little bit more of your work with Saturday’s training. Your passion is contagious. I was struck by the safety you created and how you held us. I found it so telling how vulnerable folks got so quickly. There were such sweet people gathered, and I felt the power of that community in just that little virtual group! It felt clear why gathering in groups around this specific type of attachment wounding is powerful—you could feel it just in this little Zoom training.
I hope to take your training in the future!!” – Mary M, Psychotherapy Graduate Student
