The Lion Theory Project is the leading project in England for all the thousands of people affected by Childhood Trauma.

The Lion Theory project was established in 2019 to provide support and peer-led workshops

for anyone suffering from past childhood trauma. We also provide trauma informed educational workshops for professional wanting to improve their understanding and knowledge of the impact of childhood trauma.

All our live online workshops offer a safe, accessible, and structured space to deepen your trauma recovery knowledge and apply practical skills in real time. Designed for individuals to take their healing into their own hands, using trauma informed, coping skills, each workshop is grounded in neuroscience and cognitive research. All our staff are full trained in trauma recovery and addiction.

Our workshops tackle the trauma by not looking at personal trauma but the behaviours the trauma has produced. By cognitively rewiring the survival mode mindset of the adult survivor. Allowing the impact of the trauma to be reduced and recovery to be possible.

The Founder.

J.C. Atkins is an author and a leading behaviourist in the field of childhood trauma recovery in adults. In 2019 she was credited for her pioneering cognitive and science work in the Lion Theory.

Atkins is a ex offender and the founder of The Lion Theory Project, which focuses on childhood trauma recovery. She has spent her career working with individuals suffering from extreme childhood trauma.

After struggling with her own trauma for many years, she went to university to build a recovery

model that would have an impact on extreme childhood trauma and became the leading in her field.

In 2019 she created the lion theory, a pioneering and ground breaking theory

which included a science paper and research paper and a tool that actually reduced the

effects of past childhood trauma in adults. Her work changed the way we look at the trauma

recovery and finally we had the answers to; what does actually work?.
