Workshops, Trainings and Presentations
As an EMDR therapist of many years and specialist in trauma and treating chronic pain and chronic health conditions, I train other therapists in using EMDR for chronic pain and chronic health conditions. In addition to speaking at conferences, summits and other engagements, I provide two-day advanced workshops that teaches EMDR clinicians how to most effectively treat clients struggling with chronic pain and chronic health conditions. I am also launching a second advanced training program entitled Integrating the Attachment System and AIP Model for Chronic Health Syndromes that will teach and train therapists to integrate knowledge about the attachment system and the Adaptive Information Processing Model of EMDR Therapy to more effectively treat chronic health conditions, conditions such as autoimmune disorders and other chronic health states that result in chronic pain and serious life disruption. This will be coming in June of 2022. My workshops, trainings and presentations not only focus on using EMDR, but also understanding and working with the nervous system and the body as one integrated whole to heal.
