How to say yes to yourself (instead of abandoning yourself) practice building vision May 08, 2021

What's next? (+ free resource) practice building resourcing Apr 05, 2021

One of my favorite TV characters is the President on West Wing. His key phrase is "what's next?" as he moves forward, anchored in clear values and integrity when problem-solving. (He is absolutely a wise figure for me in my own EMDR work.)

How long does EMDR take? We can do better than "it depends" emdr Feb 26, 2021

 We've all had clients and/or consultees ask this question: "How long does EMDR take?" 

Why is this so hard to answer? I've heard responses ranging from 2-3 sessions for one target, to 12 sessions for single-incident trauma, to "it depends." 

Ya'll, we can do better than this. We are the brain sur...
