I had the opportunity to sit down with not one but two folks in the trauma-informed therapy and coaching communities. And not only was our conversation aligned around our similar value systems, it was yet another example of how innovative thinking offers clinicians the chance to go beyond the tradit...

Whether we like it or not, the past two years have challenged us to design more innovative ways to run our practices and deliver mental health services. Perhaps you've been curious how EMDRIA has had to roll with the punches, too.

I got to sit down with former EMDRIA President, current EMDRIA Board...

I sat down with the one and only Dr. Jamie Marich and had the opportunity to hear from a clinician whose transparency about their own identity is the very thing that makes them a great trainer, therapist, and overall human being.

In our conversation, we talk about how the messaging and training man...

As therapists, we all want to feel that we are helping others and feel secure in our own lives. Especially during a pandemic.  

As highly trained, trauma-informed therapists, our mission is to guide our clients in developing secure attachment and healthy relationships. Alongside them, we also seek ...

Our series of innovative thinking continues, and today we are honored to be joined by Thomas Zimmerman, EMDR Consultant & Trainer. 

Thomas helps us think about how we resolve traumatic memories, and introduces us to The Four Blinks Version of Flash. What I loved most about talking with Thomas was h...

And learning, just like all of the other experiences in life, has feelings attached to it. And while we would typically cr...

If your experience as a newly trained EMDR therapist was anything like mine, you probably started to see that “sticking to the script” to navigate through standard protocol was confusing when working with complex trauma clients. Why? Because the beauty of standard protocol often needs interweaves, p...

If you think about what traditional images of psychotherapy look like, you might imagine something hierarchical, impersonal, and precise. Where the clinician is as good as invisible and the sessions sound scripted. 

But what we know now is that effective therapy happens when stuff gets relational a...

Every clinician, whether they think they work with reproductive issues or not needs to hear this discussion! Why? First, even if your clinical work doesn’t focus on these topics, you’re still likely to find them showing up in your office. Next, how we think about incorporating EMDR therapy during th...

When I came up as a therapist, I was taught to offer sliding scale or pro bono spots as a way to be generous. Maybe you were taught this, too.
