Vulnerable post:
My son told me he didn’t want to wear his Halloween costume, and my whole body braced. 🎃

A voice in me said he’s going to be the only one. He’s going to stand out.

I do this work for a living, and I still felt it. That’s the thing about our protective parts: they don’t care how many credentials we have. They’re still trying to keep a younger version of us safe from something that already happened.

When I got curious instead of reacting, I met that part. I thanked it, let it know I had it, and came back to my son as the parent he needed.

Your reactions aren’t random. The road rage, the snapping at your kids, the shutdown after a comment from a coworker: these are trailheads. They’re invitations to meet the parts of you that have been working overtime for years.

You don’t have to follow yours alone. 🤍

If you’re ready to go deeper: I offer 3-day IFS and EMDR intensives, where we combine parts work and EMDR to get to the root of what’s driving your reactions, rather than spending months just managing them. Three focused days to move through what weekly sessions can take a long time to reach.

I love how EMDR can be so easily tailored to each clients individual nervous system and integrative with other modalities such as somatic, cognitive, psychodynamic, parts work, and Indigenous healing practices 🧡

It is my goal to make sure every client feels heard, seen and as safe as possible in our sessions.

In my decade plus experience of being a therapist, many people have asked me how I am able to do this job. That they could never be a therapist and sit and listen to so much pain and suffering.

I think that the general public often misses some key parts of a therapist’s work: we don’t just sit and listen - we are actively engaged in supporting our clients in healing their wounds. We are not passive, or useless to even the most horrific experiences. We show up, and accompany clients on the journey using all of our tools and experience. And there’s so much power in a therapy like EMDR, that it’s hard to truly understand if you haven’t witnessed it as a client or therapist.

So if you’re considering therapy, or maybe you’re a therapist that just needs the reminder: there is hope. Healing is possible. And it looks different for everyone.

I’ve been specializing in frontline trauma in first responders, nurses, physicians and military for the last 8 years. These are the things I can’t unsee and include as part of my assessment:

1. It’s rarely the “worst” call that sticks. There’s often a catalyst that brings my clients in to therapy. It’s the one that hit close to home: a kid the same age as theirs, a familiar face, a detail that felt personal. It can be confusing, but makes sense: first responders are trained to push through and stay busy until they can’t.

2. “I should have done more.” Guilt over things that were never in their control.

3. The body keeps the score. Back to the wall, scanning exits, startling at sounds, snapping at those they love, all while saying “I’m fine.”

4. Moral injury. Carrying what happened when the system, or the situation, went against everything they believe is right.

5. “Others had it worse.” They minimize their own pain until it shows up in their sleep, their health, or their relationships.

Those who help our community deserve their own help too 🫶 reach out to us Following Seas Psychotherapy 📍 Cole Harbour, NS if you’re looking for a qualified trauma and EMDR therapist to support you in Cole Harbour or throughout Nova Scotia virtually.

I wear many hats in my life like many professional entrepreneurs with families.

What do we have in common?!

When I was in Anaheim for the EMDRIA conference this Summer, it was so fun to make so many connections with EMDR therapists all over the world and to tell them about my EMDR Intensive practice here in Nova Scotia 🍂 I think I may have even convinced a few Floridians to layer up and to come visit here this Fall! ☕️

When clients travel out of province to work with me, I love giving them ideas for regulating activities and sight seeing during their stay here. What would you recommend?

I’ve seen it many times before in my therapy practice as a trauma therapist and it’s a big red flag 🚩
