This week Monique interviews Dr. Jamie Marich (she/they) about dissociation. Jamie is a clinical trauma specialist, EMDR Consultant, expressive artist, recovery advocate, and author of many excellent books, including ‘Dissociation Made Simple', and their latest book ‘You Lied to Me About God' – a memoir of spiritual abuse and recovery. She is a queer woman in long-term recovery from an addictive disorder and lives with dissociative identities. Jamie unites all of these elements in their mission to redefine therapy.   Monique and Jamie cover:   What is dissociation and what is its purpose. What are the different forms of dissociation and why does Jamie tend to avoid using a ‘continuum of severity' framework when thinking about dissociation. The history of ‘dissociation' as a diagnostic concept. What is dissociative amnesia. Myths about dissociative conditions. Jamie's lived experience of dissociative identities and the role that expressive and martial arts has played in their own journey and in their therapeutic work. How does dissociation fit under the neurodivergence umbrella, and what is the overlap of dissociative conditions with Autism and ADHD? Ways that people can reduce the stigma of dissociative conditions and support others experiencing dissociative conditions.   See more of Jamie's work through their website – www.jamiemarich.com. You can access their professional trainings through The Institute for Creative Mindfulness and resources of professionals and the public through Redefine Therapy.   Want polished copies of our episodes in beautiful and readable pdf article format?

On today's episode Monique interviews Liam Spicer about grief and loss. Listeners will notice that Liam is not a neurodivergent woman, but we've decided to make an exception this time as Liam is an expert in the area of neurodivergence and grief.   Liam is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology, and he's a Psychologist, EMDR Consultant, and Accredited Schema Therapist based in Launceston, Tasmania. He is also an Autistic ADHDer, and is passionate about training, research, and collaboration with other neurodivergent individuals in the Neurodiversity Affirming Space. Liam's current PhD is focused on the use of Schema Therapy for Prolonged Grief, and he has published journal articles and book chapters on grief in addition to presenting at national and international conferences. His interest in this area is derived from both professional and personal lived experience of loss.   Just a quick warning for listeners, this episode contains mention of death and loss. Some of our listeners may decide to skip this one.   Monique and Liam cover:   Liam's journey to understanding his own neurodivergence. What is grief? Is there such a thing as a ‘normal' response to grief, and what are some common myths about grief. Different types of grief and loss (and the validity of feeling big feelings about all of these types of losses!), including death loss, loss of aspects of daily living, loss associated with life transitions and with chronic or acute health conditions, loss of routines or coping mechanisms, and grief associated with diagnosis. Some key factors for neurodivergent people and their supports to keep in mind when dealing with grief and loss, and strategies around managing these ND specific factors. What is ‘Prolonged Grief' and what can you expect when seeing a therapist for Prolonged Grief? Liam's personal experiences with grief and strategies for supporting grieving loved ones. (Note: this section discusses miscarriage loss, so consume with care if this is a tough subject for you).   You can find Liam through his website or on Instagram or LinkedIn @LiamSpicer.   Want polished copies of our episodes in beautiful and readable pdf article format?

Bron and Dr Catherine Hynes (Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Consultant) cover the essentials of complex trauma. They chat about

The world of therapy is changing, and it's time to challenge the status quo. And I'm here to share why some of the most common diagnoses in the DSM, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, body dysmorphia, and PTSD, are not only limiting but can actually cause harm to both clients and therapists. By exploring the concept of "programming" and how our early experiences shape our beliefs, behaviors, and emotional responses, I'm offering a fresh (and maybe a little controversial) perspective on mental health diagnoses. I don't believe that we're defined by our diagnoses but that we're a product of our coding, which starts at birth. When the collective “we” understand this, therapy clients can break free from limiting labels and reprogram ourselves for a more empowered future. And therapists can truly support their clients in the way they deserve. This episode provides practical tools for both therapists and clients to enhance their therapeutic journey and move beyond labels. And you'll gain insights that will help you to understand the complexity of the human experience and how EMDR-informed therapy can create lasting change. If you've ever felt stuck or defined by your diagnosis, or watched a client struggle, this episode offers a path forward. Discover the power of reprogramming your mind and unlocking your true potential.

The new year is often a time for goal-setting and resolution-making, but so many people struggle with following through over the next 12 months. That's not true for those who are using EMDR in their treatment. Why? Because the foundation of EMDR is about desensitizing disturbance of what happened in the past, what's happening in the present, and creating a bridge into the future to feel calmer and more resourced. That's how true change occurs. We don't have to sit in discomfort for too long. EMDR can help us to create the future we want and deserve. This week on the podcast, I'm walking through the phases of EMDR and what that looks like in rewiring our brains for a fresh start in the new year. As so many try with resolutions, we can't just let go of things and stop doing things; we have to desensitize and create new pathways, replacing an unwanted behavior with something else. EMDR is how we can do that. Listen in this week to hear more. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want to because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

When there's a loss like the death of a loved one, there's a cultural acknowledgement of that loss that gives us the time and space to grieve and to heal. But we experience grief in so many other situations, outside of death. Grief is something that helps us to process changes, like the death of an idea of the life we thought we'd have. We can never fully imagine how change and grief hits us because of illness, a move, or job loss. Life changes all the time and we often grieve those changes. But we don't get the same response from the world around us as we do when someone passes away. This week, I'm sharing how we all go through the traditional grief cycle during times of change. I want to illuminate the grief cycle and help you to feel like what you're experiencing is totally normal. I get it. I've been there. Let's embrace EMDR to help process grief, in whatever form it finds us, and help to speed up the process of integration to create neutrality in our bodies. Listen in this week, and be sure to share the episode with someone who might need it to understand themselves and hear some comforting words of reassurance.

We all know someone who has anger “problems,” but I believe that there's a different conversation we need to have about anger. Anger is a feeling, not a problem, and it's not bad unless expressed in a way that's disproportionate to what's happening. But not expressing enough anger is an even bigger problem than too much anger. Let me convince you why. Anger is a biologically-programmed survival response. However, society's curriculum often tells us to repress it, specifically telling women that we can't express our anger because it's not ladylike or proper. The reality is that we can't remove an emotion that's attached to a survival response. Instead, we need to learn how to work with it. This week on the podcast, we're talking about anger and why we need to change our thinking about its value in our lives. I'm sharing how we're missing the point of anger, how repressing it in our children directly impacts their safety, and how the #MeToo movement has helped to shine a light on the need for appropriate anger responses attached to justice and protection. We've done such a disservice to everyone who feels anger as a trauma response, and it's time that anger gets rebranded as something that helps support our wellbeing. Listen in to this important conversation about something we all experience in our lives. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want to because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

We all have a relationship with something that's helping us to feel a certain way, full and in control, empowered and attached. But we've been given so many different curricula around what we're supposed to look and feel like, we're using behaviors like food restriction or binging and purging in an effort to feel a certain way. Disordered eating isn't a term I love, but it's what's used in mainstream culture. It's a relationship, and not a healthy one. So when a therapy client is looking for support around disordered eating, it's important for the therapist to get really curious about that relationship and where it manifested. Using EMDR and other brain-based modalities to help with disordered eating can help someone to look deep at the somatic sensation someone is feeling as a result of eating or food restriction. This week on the podcast, I'm sharing how our early attachments to our caregivers can impact binging or overeating, why cultural curriculum about food can be so harmful, and why there is so much complexity around disordered eating. This is such a nuanced and powerful topic, and I encourage you to approach it with curiosity and an open mind. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want to because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

When someone seeks treatment for addiction, the truth is that we're not actually treating the addiction; we're treating the brain's associations with the behavior that feels addictive. We're delinking the positive feelings someone has with things like alcohol, compulsive shopping, smoking, gambling, and binge eating,, and looking for alternative ways for the person to have those same positive feelings. Essentially, we're desensitizing the positive (addictive) behavior. When working with clients in my own practice and when consulting with other therapists, I use Robert Miller's Feeling-State Protocol. And this week on the podcast, I'm sharing what that protocol looks like and how the questions help in the desensitization process. The benefit of using EMDR and other brain-based modalities in addiction is that we get to open our minds to the ways we can rewire our brain that are respectful and protective of our younger parts. There's no benefit to shaming, as sometimes happens in 12-step and other recovery avenues. There are so many ways to support yourself and others in addiction; listen in this week to hear how EMDR can help. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want to because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

The holiday season can be incredibly stressful and triggering for many reasons, from trying to defy our natural inclination to hibernate in the winter, to how our brains link to challenging events from all the holidays that came before. But you don't have to dread the holidays or family get-togethers, if you can understand where your feelings come from and how to work through them. We store so many memories in our bodies; some of these memories we know and remember, but others happened before we can remember or realize that they were traumatic. Things like a parent not speaking up when another parent was drunk, changing schools, not being comforted when you were upset, being spanked, and more. We can understand the whole of these many moments as part of attachment trauma. And when we see television shows, social media posts and advertisements about what a holiday should look and feel like, we feel like there's something wrong with us or our families. One solution is working on that attachment trauma with attachment-focused EMDR to help our nervous system desensitize those memories so you don't have to go into the holidays already lit up with anxiety. This week on the podcast, I'm sharing more about what this looks like in practice and why EMDR can help us develop a relational mirror to help us better understand ourselves. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want to because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

The true definition (and outcomes) of depression goes far beyond what we typically think of: someone pulling away from loved ones, extreme sadness, maybe even feeling suicidal. But the truth is that depression is often a symptom of trauma, and can manifest in individuals in so many different ways. It may be a collapse after extreme anxiety that we may not even notice because we've normalized living life at a high cadence. When we crash into depression, we may feel safe because we learned that there's safety in that. However, we may not recognize this initially because that learning happened in a pre-verbal stage, before we can even remember. Because we want to rewrite what we've learned and decided so we can feel better, because we want to heal from past trauma, EMDR is an amazing therapeutic option for people who suffer from depression and hopelessness. This week on the podcast, I'm sharing what happens in our bodies and minds when we experience early trauma, why depression and anxiety are so linked, why there might be a medical reason for some depression, and how depression can actually feel safe for some of us. There are so many options available for people who feel depressed, especially in the winter months. EMDR is just one of the tools that can help. I urge anyone who feels an overwhelming sense of helplessness and withdrawal to seek out professional help. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want to because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

In this episode of The Private Practice Elevation Podcast, EMDR therapist and consultant Christy Pearl delves into the impact of childhood emotional patterns on our professional lives.    She emphasizes that most people have experienced some form of insecure attachment or emotional abandonment in their early family life, which can influence decision-making and the way we show up in our careers.    Christy explains that these patterns can manifest in various ways, such as struggling with boundaries, handling money, and feeling reactive rather than responsive in professional settings.    She highlights the importance of doing our own healing work and cultivating self-compassion and curiosity to overcome these patterns.    Christy also emphasizes the role of the body in healing and suggests that accessing our unconscious material is crucial for aligning our thinking brain with our emotional and physical memory.   If you're feeling stuck, under-confident as a leader, or you've seen how certain situations trigger you in your private practice, this episode will help guide you toward healing and growth. Key Takeaways: Unresolved emotional patterns from childhood can impact decision-making and the way we show up in our careers. Many people are surprised to discover that these patterns also affect their professional lives. Doing our own healing work is essential for showing up in a grounded and present manner. Cultivating self-compassion and curiosity can help us overcome negative self-talk and shame. Accessing our unconscious material is crucial for aligning our thinking brain with our emotional and physical memory.   Links Mentioned in This Episode: www.christiepearl.com This Episode is Brought To You By   Alma is on a mission to simplify access to high-quality, affordable mental health care by giving providers the tools they need to build thriving in-network private practices.

She specializes in EMDR Intensive Therapy for Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families who are struggling with work stress and performance anxiety. She helps Adult Children create a healthier relationship with work so that they can own their brilliance and be who they want to be today, instead of who they had to be as children. Her mission is to inspire, encourage and equip Adult Children on their journey to reconnecting with their authentic selves.    The Impact of Childhood Emotional Patterns on Professional Life The Impact on Parenting and Personal Relationships Pearl highlights that these unresolved emotional patterns not only affect our professional lives but also spill over into our parenting and personal relationships.    She explains that many individuals who have experienced emotional immaturity or dysfunction in their own upbringing struggle to show up as the parents they want to be. They may feel guilt and shame for not being able to break free from these patterns and may find themselves repeating the same dynamics with their own children.   "The best thing you can do for your kids is what you're sitting here with me doing right now for yourself. And in my experience, most people, at least most adult children that I work with, have an easier time accessing that inner loving place within themselves for their kids or for other people. And it's a matter of learning how to turn some of that compassion and grace towards yourself." - Christy Pearl   Navigating Emotional Patterns in the Professional World   Pearl acknowledges that running a business can be a catalyst for uncovering and addressing these emotional patterns. As business owners, we are faced with various challenges, including client relationships, financial decisions, and time management.    These challenges often trigger our unresolved emotional wounds and can lead to reactivity, self-sabotage, and difficulty in setting boundaries.   "I think there's a really good reason for that, which is we might have adapted early on in our early life by really learning how to compartmentalize... So we grow up and we continue functioning like that in our work. And whether you leave the house or not to go to your job at this point, we bring it all to work with us." - Christy Pearl   The Importance of Self-Awareness and Reparenting   To navigate these emotional patterns in the professional world, Pearl emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and doing our own inner work. She encourages individuals to cultivate curiosity and gentleness towards themselves, recognizing that healing is a process that requires patience and self-compassion.    By addressing the unconscious material stored in our nervous systems, we can align our thinking brain, emotional memory, and physical sensations to respond from a grounded and authentic place.   "I think it's about doing your own work... It's not just a mental exercise. We've got to get into the body because part of what our brain can do is conscious. And then we've got all this unconscious stuff that's hanging around in our nervous system... If we don't get down into that unconscious material and allow ourselves to bring that up into our conscious minds where we can deal with it, then our thinking brain and our emotional physical memory never match." - Christy Pearl   Conclusion   In conclusion, addressing childhood emotional patterns and their impact on our professional lives is a transformative journey that requires self-awareness, self-compassion, and a commitment to doing the necessary inner work.    By recognizing and healing our unresolved emotional wounds, we can break free from repetitive patterns, set healthy boundaries, and show up authentically in our careers. The process of reparenting ourselves and cultivating emotional safety within can lead to profound personal and professional growth.   As we continue to explore the intersection of our personal and professional lives, it is essential to approach our careers with curiosity, gentleness, and a willingness to confront our emotional patterns. By doing so, we can create a more fulfilling and authentic professional journey, one that aligns with our true desires and values.    The path to healing and growth may be challenging, but it is also incredibly rewarding. Let us embrace the opportunity to transform ourselves and our professional lives, one step at a time.

Thanks to Gabor Maté, we know that trauma isn't just something that happens; it's something that happens inside of you. So when something happens to us (or doesn't happen, like in an omission of care) and we feel anxiety, that anxiety is a result of trauma. Anxiety can come from so many things, like overextending ourselves and trying to do too much, divorce, job loss, and even things that some might perceive as positive experiences like an upcoming social event, wedding, or vacation. And often we feel this way not because we are anxious people, but because our relationship with anxiety has been wired a certain way. And we know that neuroplasticity allows us to rewire our relationship with emotions, sense of self and identity. How cool is that? When we can expand the definition of anxiety outside of what the DSM and the American Psychological Association tell us it is, we can start to see the value of EMDR treatment for people who experience anxiety. This is a beautiful thing. This week on the Zero Disturbance podcast, I'm talking about what anxiety and trauma actually are, and why professional associations in the psychological space need to expand their official definitions so that more people can easily access the support and treatment they need. And I'm sharing why EMDR is a great choice for people who have experienced anxiety or who have been told they “have anxiety.” This is especially important so we can create more hope for people so they don't think they have to “have anxiety” forever, as part of who they are. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want to because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

Parenting is a challenge for everyone, no matter what someone's Instagram feed claims. And if we're looking outside the “traditional” definition of trauma, every parent has experienced trauma at some point. So many parents want to raise their children in a different way than they themselves were raised: more extracurricular options, no spanking, being more present. And where we end up is stressed out, feeling like we're not doing enough, and triggered by our kids. Sometimes without even knowing why we're feeling this way. This week, I'm talking about why EMDR is a great tool for parents as they learn to rewrite their curriculum from the past so they can better understand what is happening now. It's normal to feel stressed out as a parent, but you don't have to suffer. Parents can use EMDR to accelerate healing far beyond what's possible in talk therapy. Listen in this week and learn how to parent smarter and create the parenting experience you want. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing.

EMDR works. It's well-known that it works for those who want to heal trauma, but you don't have to be a trauma survivor to benefit from EMDR. In fact, I believe that it works for nearly every human on the planet. This week, I'm starting a new series that I think will convince you that EMDR is for children, athletes, executives, parents, empty nesters, those going through a divorce, and more. And one of the reasons why it isn't already a standard of practice for all therapists (as I think it should be) is because our therapy education hasn't caught up with brain science. I'm on a mission to raise awareness of EMDR so that grad schools make it part of their standard curriculum, it becomes more affordable, and it's the default treatment option people get when they walk into a therapy office. Listen in this week as I open the conversation around why EMDR is helpful to nearly everyone and should be available to anyone. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing.

Want to learn more about offering intensives in your practice? My Intensive Kit can help! Find out more here. I've been offering intensive therapy programs for my EMDR clients for 5 years now and I've learned a lot about about how to design successful intensive models. And I've made it my mission to share my experience so that other clinicians may benefit in their own private practices. And, now, because I've now had the opportunity to support clinicians as they launch their own intensive models, I've been able to learn more about what helps and hinders clinicians when it comes to designing their intensive models. And, as always, I want to share that with you. Today, I explore the 7 most common myths that I hear in consultation about why clinicians feel stuck when it comes to offering intensive therapy in their private practices. And the good news? I'm here to encourage you (with data of course) on how we can shift our mindset to better understand how possible it is to design an intensive model of therapy. Learn about why you're already trained and set up to do this, how intensive therapy actually takes less energy, that intensive therapy doesn't mean 6-8 hours of therapy, and much more in today's podcast episode. You are a precious resource who has the ability to offer high-value services to their clients. And it's my mission to help you understand that.

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 not something that anyone should enter lightly. For clients, it might be one of the most important relationships they build. Understanding your specific needs and finding a therapist who can meet those needs is pivotal. If you've never worked with a therapist before, have worked with a therapist who didn't feel like a good fit, or are looking for someone who offers different modalities than your current therapist offers, you need to do your research. You can find a lot of information about therapists on their websites, but you'll also want to have a conversation before you start working with them. This episode is your guide for what to ask, how to understand the therapist's responses, and what to look for in your conversation. It will also help you to check in with your therapist, if you're already in a therapeutic relationship. And if you're a therapist, this is a great episode for helping you to show up in the way you want to show up. It will give you some parameters for setting up your own guide for how you work with clients. This isn't about ranking or rating therapists based on arbitrary criteria, but rather about seeking out a professional whose values, availability, and working style align with yours. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before.

EMDR is a fantastic brain-based modality for trauma therapy, but there are so many other uses that we don't talk about enough because of the focus on trauma. What gets lost the most is that EMDR supports anyone who wants to rewrite the curriculum they learned as a result of experiences from their past. When we talk about EMDR being good for trauma victims, we essentially close the door of possibility of healing through this modality for those who don't identify as trauma victims. This does a disservice to the majority of the population. Everyone, at some point or another, suffers from anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, incongruence of messages in their bodies. This includes incongruence of women's curriculum around their bodies and behaviors, messages from society around race and socioeconomic levels, and so much more. These experiences cause disturbance in lives in the past, present, and future. All of these are a natural part of being human. And EMDR can support people in rewriting their curriculum from the past so they can focus on the present and future. That means that every person is a candidate for EMDR. This week on the podcast, I'm sharing why EMDR is so valuable for people who want to create congruence in their curriculum in the present and future, how EMDR can be used for people looking for performance enhancement, and how therapy clients can become more empowered in their therapy treatment. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want to because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

Identifying and pulling on positive resources is essential to processing trauma, but it's also something you can do when you want to change your mindset around specific feelings and events. Even better, it's something you can do on your own with a little bit of work and reflection. Resourcing is a biologically natural process your body already has to create adaptive material. It's what your body did to create adaptations after a traumatic event. But you can also resource yourself in a customized way to create positive resources using all the EMDR clinical reasoning available to us. You just need to know how to do it. The good news is that it's incredibly simple. I'll show you how. We all have bundles of elements we use when we process trauma, including emotions, body sensations, images, and cognition. This week on the podcast, I'm sharing how to use this bundle of feelings and sensations around a positive event or relationship so you can pull on them, expand them, and make those resources accessible so you can feel better. We can use bilateral stimulation to neutralize negative emotions, but we can also use it to expand positive relationships, experiences, and emotions. It works both ways. Listen in as I share how and offer some real world and personal examples of how you can do this intentionally. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want to because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

Doing mindset work isn't always the answer. We're inundated with messages from coaches and therapists on Instagram telling us that if we just worked on our mindset, we could get past so many of our limiting beliefs and roadblocks. And while maybe mindset works for some, for many therapy clients it's actually harmful. When therapy clients don't yet have the ability to protect themselves from negative cognitions around the mindset work, they can experience trauma. They can feel like a failure. And in cases like this, mindset work is now creating more harm. We all have positive intentions with mindset work. But when we try and it doesn't work, we start to believe it's not even worth trying. Instead, therapists and their clients need to have a good understanding of the client's negative and positive beliefs so that we can create customized resources for that person, building on the positive beliefs that do exist. This week, I'm sharing more about what this looks like in the therapy room and on social media and why we need to spend more time looking at individual adaptations, rather than blanket mindset work as a solution. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing.

Most of us know how to behave appropriately in society, which is helpful in navigating the world. We follow the laws of our community, pay our bills, wait in the grocery lines, treat animals with kindness, etc. But sometimes, society (or our culture) teaches us a set of rules that don't align with what is best for us. If you're a woman, you've likely felt this. We've been given this curriculum around boundaries and being available to others. We're expected to act a certain way and be available to our partners, children, colleagues, even strangers whenever they have a want or need. And if we don't jump to someone else's needs immediately, we fall back on the negative messages that we've been taught: that we're bad. This creates relational trauma and disturbance and we can sit in this for decades. The reality is that society's rulebook, this curriculum we've inherited and passed along for generations, isn't our problem. And when we start creating and upholding our own rules, or boundaries, we can teach others that our rules matter too. This week, I'm sharing more about how we've grown up with this curriculum in our hands that isn't serving us or the people around us and how we can start noticing this so we can make changes. I share a three-step process to walk through when you receive inputs from others that will help you start to implement your own rulebook. You don't have to chameleon someone else's experiences and you don't have to change how you respond to someone based on their rulebook. Give yourself permission to not abandon yourself and take care of your own emotional experience first. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing. Brain-based therapies like EMDR teach us that we don't have to talk about the trauma or the details if we don't want because the real healing doesn't focus on the traumatic event itself.

Laurie Belanger, LCSW shares how to use science to create felt safety in your office for your clients. Often in grad school, we hear of things like polyvagal theory but are never taught how to use what we know about the brain and body to help our clients regulate and co-regulate. Laurie M Belanger LCSWR has been providing services to children, adults, and families for over 20yrs in Western NY.  She is passionate about serving the needs of families coping with multi-layered, complicated concerns.  Laurie has a strong interest and background in trauma, sensory development, chronic pain, adoption, mental health, and neurodiversity. She is an approved EMDR Consultant through EMDRIA, and was professionally trained in TBRI®️ (Trust Based Relational Interventions) by the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development.Laurie currently provides individual and family therapy and professional consultation in her private practice setting in East Amherst NY.  She includes access to some of the most up-to-date trauma therapies and supports in her practice.  Included in this is The SSP (Safe and Sound Protocol), a Polyvagal informed, evidence-based therapeutic tool designed to reset the nervous system and return it to safety. OFFERS & HELPFUL LINKS:Laurie Belanger website Counseling Community TikTokJennifer Agee coaching pageDestination Continuing Education Facebook communityCounseling Community Instagram

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 believe that when a client hears from their therapist that they're not “doing the work,” it's a red flag. Therapists need to put on their clinical reasoning hats and really think about what they're saying. The reality is that we're always doing the work. Therapy clients don't always need to talk about trauma to be working on their trauma. As I've shared in previous videos, your brain doesn't care what time it is because it's always linking experiences. The work can happen in the past, present, and future and it's all important in trauma work. This week, I'm sharing why therapists hold the common view that clients must talk about trauma to work on their trauma, and how both therapy clients and therapists can shift the conversation and learn how to go from dipping toes into the pool to feeling comfortable in the deep end. I'm also sharing what therapists can do to support clients in practicing to be able to do the hard work, collecting data along the way. This episode is part of the Rebranding Trauma Therapy series. Watch the whole series here. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before.

The way we've been talking about triggers is an incomplete conversation and it's time to change that. The more information you have about what triggers you will help inside trauma therapy and help create adaptive material to help with trauma. Here's where we need to rethink what we've learned about triggers: A trigger is a stimulus that elicits a reaction. Any stimulus; any reaction. But our culture has added qualifiers to our definition of triggers, turning them into something that's negative. Triggers can also be positive (think: you smell cookies baking and you suddenly want to eat a cookie) or even neutral. And this is where branding of EMDR, Brainspotting, and ART can fall short, by only focusing on disturbances and negative triggers and not looking deeper into positive triggers. This is important because the more you know yourself, the more powerful you'll be in the world. Our job as therapy clients and therapists is to get curious so when you're doing the hard work in therapy, you can learn to use linkages and triggers with intention, control, and choice. It's pretty amazing stuff and this week, I'm walking you through what this looks like and talking more about how we can rethink triggers so they work for us, not against us. When something traumatic happens to us, it can be healing to have a therapist listen to and/or validate our horrible experience, especially if no one else has before. However, rehashing the details of that traumatic event can be retraumatizing.

Curiosity should always be the default for therapists working with clients, and clients should know this and look for it in session. This is especially true when we're talking about phobias. There's often a lot of shame around phobias because they're characterized by a disproportionate response to a feeling or fear. At the surface level, it might not seem logical. But if a therapist responds in this way, they could create or feed a toxic relationship between the client and the feelings the client is having. Instead, a better response is curiosity. It's important for both therapist and client to get curious about clinical reasoning when it comes to phobias and adaptations. In this week's video, I'm sharing how therapists can be curious about the function of the phobia to help clients look deeper into how their bodies, emotions, and thoughts react to experiences that are triggering a response. It's not necessarily straightforward. Content doesn't necessarily transfer when our brain develops alarm systems and links that lead to adaptations. This makes it difficult to identify and, as I've talked about in previous episodes, digging into traumatic experiences isn't always the answer. Listen in as I provide tools and insights for both therapists and clients. This is such an important conversation in our journey of rebranding trauma therapy into something that can help and heal. Listen in and be sure to watch the whole series on rebranding trauma therapy.

Adaptations are all things we created in response to something we learned in life, often during a traumatic experience. Whether that experience happened in childhood or as adults, we learned how to cope and feel safe. And those adaptations perform a positive function, whether they're healthy or not. The important thing to remember is that adaptations can and should change over time, especially if they've become problematic, like disordered eating, alcohol abuse, compulsive shopping, gambling addictions, and self-harm, among other things. You have the power to make these changes and to become the master of your own destiny. In this week's video, I'm showing you how to approach them with compassion, understanding, and an eagerness to grow beyond them. By embracing productive, safe conversations and powerful modalities like EMDR, Brainspotting, or Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), you'll unlock the keys to transformation. Adaptations from our childhood were written by kids whose brains weren't fully developed yet. So it makes sense that we can approach this with a sense of understanding and compassion rather than judgment. Let's notice the consequences of our adaptations and get creative about how we can replace them with something that serves you today. The first step is EMDR, Brainspotting, or Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and a place where you can have productive, safe conversations about what's happening inside the choices we've made. Listen in and be sure to watch the whole series on rebranding trauma therapy.

While every therapist has their own methods and systems for working with clients, one of the most harmful things they can say to a client is, “You're not ready for trauma therapy.” Especially when there's no explanation or plan for getting the client “ready.” Every client is ready for trauma therapy because, if you're following along with this series, we're rebranding the practice itself. The role of therapists is to support clients in identifying their adaptations to trauma and learning or relearning skills to allow them to move forward. To do this, clients need the right team, the right tools, and the right skills. In this week's video, I'm sharing what clients need for success and a framework for therapists as they support their clients in EMDR and brain-based modality therapy. It's vital that every client has access to the therapy they need and that no one is ever turned away from services. This is part three in a series about rebranding trauma therapy.

Talking about details of trauma doesn't feel good for the therapy client, which is why it's so important that we create a reframe not only around therapy in general, but especially in brain-based modalities like Brainspotting and EMDR in particular. Not convinced that we should stop talking about “trauma therapy”? This week, I'm sharing three truths around why in an effort to convince you of another perspective. Therapists are taught to think and work in black and white, that therapy is done in a very specific way with the same benchmarks for clients along the way. But life and interacting with humans doesn't work that way. There are often extenuating circumstances, like COVID in 2020, that impact us all and don't give people the opportunity to feel safe in any environment. This is why therapists need to focus on the adaptations possible during the therapeutic process. In this week's video, I'm sharing why we need to look for a Plan B, what scary movies can teach us about trauma responses, and how planning a vacation illustrates the expansive possibilities around safety and adaptations.

Luckily, we have an EMDR specialist here to talk us through it today, my great friend and colleague, Christina Janiga. We talk about: What exactly is EMDR therapy? What really happens in an EMDR session? How can EMDR deal with and heal nightmares or upsetting dreams, When is dissociation 'adaptive,' and how do you know if you dissociate? How we just named ‘precision psychotherapy': getting creative with EMDR for neurodivergent brains.

In episode one of series 2 of Past, Present and Future, the EMDR UK's podcast, Russell Hurn interviews Dr Deborah Korn about her early career, and how she was encouraged to train in EMDR Therapy. Her thoughts on dual attention and the function of bilateral stimulation, the release of her new book "Every Memory Deserves Respect" and some of the developments from The Council of Scholars.

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 to develop a security in our private practice that provides us with healthy choices in our careers. And how we learn about what gives us security depends on who teaches us what real security means. For many of us, we've learned that being on insurance panels gives us security; insurance companies send us lots of clients and requires very little marketing on our part to reach “full.” But does full feel good? Do low reimbursement rates from insurance companies allow us to feel the type of security we really crave? Why do we find ourselves in arguments with each other and ourselves about taking insurance? Why do many of us find ourselves in unhealthy relationships with insurance companies? In today's podcast, we invite five alumni of The Consultation Program to discuss how they developed their relationship with insurance, what they learned in that relationship, and how that lead them to the successful place they are in now. Not only will we invite you to get curious about your relationship with insurance and the stories you've told yourself about that relationship, we also invite you to check in with yourself about how your values align or do not align with an insurance-based practice. If you are a therapist who takes insurance, or is considering going on or off of insurance, you are not going to want to miss this episode! Our hope is that this conversation will leave you feeling full of permission to do what works best for you. ----------------------------------------- Want to keep learning with us?

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 how he got me thinking about how we translate EMDR and other trauma-informed therapies so they are accessible to clients and clinicians. Healing trauma is a social justice issue, and we are all a part of it. I'm excited to journey with you this year as we learn about Flash/ Four Blinks, EMDR 2.0, and Brainspotting to expand our abilities beyond EMDR to serve our clients. These other modalities that tax the working memory deepen our understanding of how EMDR works, giving us more clinical reasoning ability. As we know, there is no perfect product, and what we know will continue to evolve. What an exciting time to be a trauma therapist as we continue to learn more! ----------------------------------------- Want to keep learning with us?

Even if you're not quite sure what it is, chances are you've heard of Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a form of psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro in the 1980s that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Many people affected by adoption have attributed the therapy with helping them. While there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to seeking help, we will be exploring a number of therapeutic options over the coming seasons. In today's episode, we'll be discussing EMDR with Fiona Mawson, a Counselling Psychologist and registered and accredited EMDR Consultant with the EMDR Association of Australia. Fiona also has an EMDR focussed practice in Victoria.This episode discusses adult themes and listener discretion is advised.

We acknowledge how much we have to learn from them and their unique understanding of connection and adoption and their recognition that at the base of every change is truth telling and healing.
