Research

I am so excited about the latest research on how trauma creates predictable symptoms that can be treated, that I facilitate educational groups on PTSD, teach a course on it, and treat it. EMDR is endorsed by the world health authority as one of the top modalities for treating trauma.

5 Things to Know About EMDR

Many people have heard of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and know just enough to request it. However, I’m a huge fan of transparency and I think it’s helpful for everyone in the room to have a basic understanding of what we’re after when we’re doing trauma work.

What's So Great About EMDR?

In our culture, we aren’t really taught to listen to our bodies. But trauma, like most mental health experiences, has physical symptoms. We generally respond to physical discomfort by ignoring it, resisting it, trying to push it away.
