I am a human and I love working with other humans as they move through healing from trauma and old, adaptive bracing patterns, beliefs and ways they have created enough safety to survive. EMDR, in particular Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR, is a beautiful and effective way to shift some of those patterns rooted in surviving a childhood that was overwhelming, and working compassionately with those parts of us that haven’t always been the easiest to live with: we befriend whatever it is that your intelligent system has been turning away from, to integrate stuck trauma into your whole system so that it no longer is a traumatic memory. I use many other modalities and practices during phase 2, Resourcing, so that we always take time to get a sense of strengths and capacities of your system. This ensures we make sure we move carefully, slowly, and at your pace, while getting rid of shock and negative belief patterns from the start.
