Questions about event registration and past episode purchases?

"I was sort of ‘Zoomed Out’ today, having been ‘webinaring’ to participants from Bogotá to Bangalore in the past week. But today’s Episode 4 of Cracked Up, The Evolving Conversation was the best with Michelle Esrick, Darrell Hammond, Bessel van der Kolk, and Jane Fonda, whose contribution was mesmerizing, tremendously deep, and emotionally evocative. Fonda’s breadth of knowledge about trauma, psychotherapy, and human nature not only let the viewers into her personal challenges, it also revealed the depths of her knowledge— everything from minutiae about Freud to various aspects of trauma treatment. She was a generous panelist, spotlighting the other speakers yet conveying her life story in ways through which all survivors could find resonance. Just wow, so glad I tuned in.”
—Cathy Malchiodi, PhD, trauma expert 

"Cracked Up, The Evolving Conversation is a deeply moving, powerful and invaluable experience for anyone who has experienced trauma or cares about anyone who has experienced trauma—all of us. Each conversation (and conversation participant) has touched me deeply, been revelatory  and has enriched me/my life personally and professionally.” 
—Karen O’Brien, MSW

"Listening in on Cracked Up, The Evolving Conversation is, at it’s core, a way of witnessing how friends and colleagues who truly understand trauma, can really attune to one another, and be models for healing relationships. Yes, we can learn the science of ACEs, but when we are mirrored true compassion, we can start to practice it in our own lives.”
—Drew Factor, Internist

"I just wanted to thank you all for the webinar to celebrate the Netflix premier of Cracked Up. What a warm, personable and honest conversation the four of you shared together and with the community of people that joined through the webinar format. I was delighted to be a part of it and watch as all of us really healed and learned from each of your stories. Thank you especially to Darrell for sharing your story to start this conversation of healing for all of us. Thank you Michelle for your skill of putting his story together on film."
—Cindy F.

I have been on a journey out of incest/abuse since I was a child. I just turned 40 this year, and seen more release than ever over the last 8 months
I wrote the following poem recently. I hope it brings love like you all have brought to me.

I have participated in each of The Evolving Conversations and they have been so wonderful and extremely helpful and supportive to me as an individual and as a child/family psychotherapist working with children who have experienced developmental trauma. Thank you so much!

“I love Cracked Up, The Evolving Conversations! I have never been a part of anything so real, honest, intimate, and inspiring. Episode 3 should be a master class in holding a loving space for someone when they are upset. I can’t wait for the next one!”
—Lee Levinson

“Thank you! Michelle Esrick's powerful film Cracked Up unlocked a door that's been slammed shut deep in my soul for so many years. The Ep. 4 of your Evolving Conversation series, cracked open the door and let a little sliver of light shine in. I'm realizing now, maybe it wasn't me all this time, and I may be a victim of  emotional trauma as a child. My childhood is like the fuzz or snow on a tv when tuned into the wrong station. Michelle, Darrell, Jane Fonda, The ACEs Connection Team  and all who have shared their stories are SO Brave. You ARE warriors, Sheroes and Heroes! For me, there is so much to unpack. You all have given me hope that perhaps there is help for me after all these years. Thank you for that...I don't think I'm the only one out there feeling this way...grateful to Michelle, Darrell & The ACEs Connection Team. xo

“I personally participated in many of the Zooms and want to say thank you. I have been to so many trainings, classes, online and in person over the years and this was by far the most impactful in terms of truly digging into trauma and providing understanding. I would love nothing more than to share this with my community!”
