Have you struggled with finding the right therapy for your needs? Maybe you’ve had a few appointments with several different therapists but never found someone you felt was on the same page as you for your treatment.
The client-therapist relationship is so important and it’s...
Too often I hear therapists share that a client “isn’t doing the work.” They’re not progressing or working through their trauma because in session they talk about what’s going on in their life today, rather than talking about what happened in the past.
I...
We know that every experience has feelings attached to it. And, as therapists, we’re apt to listen to and validate those feelings for our clients and (hopefully) for ourselves.
And learning, just like all of the other experiences in life, has feelings attached to it. And while we would...
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...
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 ...

It wasn't until I joined my first business coaching group that I saw what was missing for me. In today's episode, we discuss why we aren't meant to...
I'm guessing you're also hearing this in session: "I don't know who I am anymore." I hear it daily. And its this long-term, trauma identity coming through, disorienting all of us.
Today we talk about a framework to make sense of what is (still) happening now and how to intentionally structure...
Anyone else crying this week as your kids start school? My kindergarteners need me less because they're growing, as they should. It's a normal part of life. And this will continue as they keep growing into who they're meant to be. This is how I know that I'm doing my job.

When we talk about wealth, success and boundaries in our field, it can feel like a controversial topic. And that's because, for therapists, tons of negative cognitions have been assigned to our financial accomplishments...
If we don’t accept insurance or our rates are “too...
When we finish EMDR basic training, we step into our practices without a clear sense of what’s next. So, we default to using the traditional mindsets of our field as the driving force behind how we design and run our private practice.
We keep our rates low and maintain a weekly...
One of the biggest mistakes I see with clinicians in private practice is forgetting that they are the CEO of their lives and businesses. In this week's video, we talk about how to remember who is (and who is NOT) the boss, and go over some common examples of when this gets really confusing (e.g....
We've all had moments with clients or in consultation when we decide that some protocol isn't working for us, and it frustrates us and closes us down. This is common in Phase 2 when we can't resource clients with certain exercises (e.g. safe place, container).
