Inner Bloom Healing

So grateful to be able to use this intervention with my clients 👀

Some people don't want to talk about it over and over again, or at all.

The idea of sitting with a stranger and talking about the hardest moments of your life, finding words for things you’ve never spoken, and reliving them out loud can make therapy feel impossible before you even begin.
That’s why many people wait, or sometimes never go at all.
ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) takes a different approach. You don’t have to describe your trauma in detail. Instead, the process uses the images your mind holds about a memory, not the story itself. Many people are surprised to learn they don’t need to explain everything for ART to help.
Your actual memories remain. ART doesn’t erase what happened. What changes is the emotional weight your body and mind have connected to it—the images, physical feelings, and automatic reactions that can linger long after the event.
You still remember, but you don’t have to keep feeling it the same way.
If fear of the process has kept you from getting help, it may help to know that healing doesn’t always mean revisiting every detail.
Sometimes, you just need a different way in.

Hi, I’m Shannon Perrone, LCSW.

For over 20 years, I’ve been on a path of learning how to truly support others in their healing. In 2018 I found myself navigating the dark woods of grief. It was during that time that Inner Bloom Healing was born.

Currently when I’m not working you can find me at yoga, in my back yard with my 5 year old, or watching some yummy reality TV.

This pic is from the Psychedelic Science Conference last year 🍄 ✨

Another great podcast with the Deva Collective.

This one focuses on the psychedelics and how they help women with what society labels as PMS, postpartum and menopause.

In this episode, we explore the role psychedelics, especially ketam...

More from my time in Niagara Falls at the ASGPP conference.

Day 2 - I woke feeling lonely, sat at a table alone at the keynote, do I fit in here?
This is a feeling that shows up at every conference I go too.

I have to leave early to lead my virtual women’s group, I’m not sad about it, happy to leave the loneliness behind.

The workshops were ehhh today…

A local brewery for chicken wings and a beer. Wings are a thing here in buffalo.
They are delicious.

Sunset at the falls, siting on a rock tranquil watching the sky turn pink and yellows.
I giggle at the people with the cameras and selfie sticks while I let my music in my AirPods cradle me.

I walk around the city until dark.

Back at the hotel 2 peers join me we share French fries and an Apple from my purse.

This loneliness feeling is a liar, I was never alone.

Want to listen to music with psychedelics? Researchers at Johns Hopkins University are seeking healthy individuals ages 21-75 to participate in a research study evaluating the role of music during psychedelic experiences. Apply at https://jhmi.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bx6IHEfLgB885yS?Source=FBPost

This study will allow for a comparison between different types of music on measures of emotion and well-being, as well as brain function (with EEG and MRI) when combined with psilocybin. As a participant in our study, you will have the opportunity to take part in a controlled and supervised psychedelic experience under the guidance of trained professionals. You will be closely monitored and supported throughout the entire process to ensure your safety and comfort.

A piece of the writing I did while at the ASGPP conference last month.

This weekend I’m headed into my monthly training with South Tampa Psychodrama Training and I’m still feeling it all.

Day 1

The falls were calling…
I skipped my first workshop.

On my walk to the falls I played hopscotch and walked a numbered path shaped like a snail that were both painted on the sidewalk.

Walking into the state park I was
Struck by the strength and the depth of the river, ancestral as if my cells remembered something I had no memory of.
A sweet smile on my face and tears dropping softly like dew.

The Cave of Winds decking was under construction, I could smell the seagull p**p, a messy foreshadowing of the journey I would have at the conference….

Into my first workshop, I’m being held by the men representing my biological father who never actually held me.
Telling me I’m safe, it wasn’t my fault and it’s ok to be LOUD.
The final workshop is Yoga and psychodrama- a soft gentle practice on the mat and I’m filled with gratitude as we end in playful dance.

Therapist Confessions is BACK!!!

Today I’ll confess…I fired my therapist this week.

Making sure you feel supported by your therapist is important. If you’re not feeling good about the fit bring it up to them. If they don’t repair with you then don’t stick around.

Stay tuned for another confession soon…
