Hello, I’m Jane.
Dr. Jane A. Davidson, EdD, CTRC
I’m an educator and trauma-informed coach, and the founder of The Humble Pie. I help people recognize patterns of betrayal, scapegoating, exclusion, and disrupted trust within families, religious communities, and institutions. Together, we examine their effects, make room for grief, and connect understanding with practical choices.
My doctorate in education and nearly 20 years in the classroom shape how I work: making complex ideas understandable, using everyday examples, and helping people apply what they learn. We examine how family roles, shame, silence, and assumptions shape belonging and our understanding of ourselves.
My writing draws on lived experience with loss and beginning again. I turn those experiences into questions and teaching material, while leaving room for your experience to differ from mine.
Recognition is where we begin. A rupture in trust, belonging, or the life you expected can leave you asking what still holds. We look at what has changed, what you have lost, what remains, and what choices are available. Grief can accompany any part of that process.
Curiosity guides the work. We practice acknowledging our own experience and reflecting what we hear from someone else, with room for correction. We distinguish observations from assumptions and examine responsibility without making one person responsible for another’s behavior.
Accepting present circumstances can give us information to act on while we still want change. Beginning again may involve a clearer request, a boundary, or a small experiment. There is no fixed sequence or deadline for feeling ready.
The Humble Pie began with actual pies. Starting from scratch now means bringing what you’ve learned into the life you are building. Expect warmth, honest questions, and a little irreverent humor. Being human is serious enough.
