The Executive Retreat

One day, live online, with nineteen other people whose success made them a target. You arrive with a body on alert that never turns off. You leave knowing how to harness that current for creativity and performance. Turn pressure into focus.

With Dr. Asher Lyman, PhD, LPC, Practitioner of Somatic Experiencing · 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Mountain · $1,500 · Confidential · No case facts

Who it is for

Founders, CEOs, investors, board members, executives, physicians, surgeons and lawyers who are being sued, investigated or formally accused, and who have to keep performing while it runs. You do not need to be falling apart. You need to have noticed that the case has your attention and you want it back.

A lawsuit puts your body on high alert, and locks it there for years. A moment of calm is not enough, because the attack is relentless, totalizing and cyclical. This pain does not stop on its own. It needs active intervention. We are that intervention.

This is a specialty. The clinical word for the overall pattern is litigation stress. The word we use at the Institute is legal trauma, because it is the more accurate diagnosis, and it calls for a particular approach. What we provide is the right diagnosis and systematic treatment, in the right order, over time.

Everyone in the room has their own case to not talk about. Case facts are never discussed, by design and by agreement. Dr. Lyman's guided practices are recorded for you; attendees never are.

What you leave with

  • The foundation practices of the Method.
  • The first three weeks of the twelve-week program as audio.
  • The composure routine for depositions and hostile rooms, practiced.
  • A room of nineteen people who understand, and the option to keep meeting with them.
  • A private follow-up call with Dr. Lyman in the two weeks after.

Questions

Frequently asked

Will I have to talk about my case?

No. Case facts are never discussed, which protects you and everyone else in the room. You will talk about sleep, attention, decisions and composure, which is what the day is about.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Attendees are never recorded, no notes are kept, and every participant agrees to the same confidentiality terms. Dr. Lyman's guided practices are recorded for you to replay. Participation is never reported to anyone, including a sponsor.

Is this therapy?

No. It is education and coaching for performance under pressure. Dr. Lyman is a licensed psychotherapist, but the retreat does not diagnose, treat or create a clinical record. If you need treatment, he will say so.

What if my deposition is before January 23?

Book a free call. Private deposition-timed sessions are available on a faster schedule, and the retreat is still worth taking afterward; the aftermath of a deposition is its own event.

Can my employer, insurer or fund pay for it?

Yes. Many do. We invoice sponsors directly and never report who attended or what was said.

What is the refund policy?

Full refund up to 14 days before the retreat. Inside 14 days, your seat transfers to the next retreat date.

Twenty seats. One day. The version of you that existed before the complaint.

Education and coaching, not psychotherapy or legal advice. Confidential. Nothing you say is recorded, and no case facts are discussed.
