Here’s my honest confession. I forget to announce stuff to social media. I’ve been a therapist for a pretty long time. Twenty-five years ago is when I began accumulating an advanced degree and credentials, and social media wasn’t much of a thing- especially not for professional outlets. Also, I prefer to spend my time serving my clients with the hands on work of therapy over posting to social media about what I’m doing.
Second to the hands on therapy work, I also love learning more about how to hone my skills as a therapist. The more I learn, the more questions I have, and the more I’m driven to study and learn more. And I’m so busy studying and learning that I also forget to tell social media that I’m studying and learning. 😂
That said, I realized that you might like to know sometimes what I’m busy studying and learning.
Trauma work is my specialty. Using bottom up interventions like EMDR effectively in a variety of complex presentations of trauma is my real speciality. It’s not about just throwing a “protocol” at the problem. It’s so much more complex and nuanced.
I love serving LEOs and emergency responders. I recently completed a training to better serve 911 professionals, recognizing the unique culture of these very first front end responders and the effects of trauma they experience in their daily work.
The training was a collaboration between EMDRIA (EMDR International Association) and APCO International (The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials), and NENA (The National Emergency Number Association).
It’s an honor to serve these first-in-line emergency responders in my community! Thank you for all you do! ❤️
