EMDR is a great way to bring to light a better understanding of someone's OCD and how to break the cycle of frustrating thoughts and behaviors.

I am so grateful that there is a protocol that really focuses in on the somatic experience of pain, not only beginning to sense into it in a very different way with compassion and understanding, but also to reduce the pain itself.

EMDR 2.0 is an excellent intervention to use for individuals who have been unsuccessful with the standard protocol of EMDR in the past, and who have a difficult time staying in the window of tolerance when processing.

The experience is much different than your typical talk therapy and can lead to deeper and more, connect insight, to better understand why you feel the way you do certain situations, realizing your response systems to triggers, and how to manage them better.

EMDr and EMD are wonderful accompaniments to EMDR and can feel like a much safer and tolerable way to process and sit with upsetting life experiences.

This video explains why we dream, when to pay attention to nightmares in particular, and also what to try if you keep having nightmares. You will learn about the interaction between traumatic experiences or PTSD and nightmares, what the brain is trying to do amidst a dream or nightmare, and most importantly- things to do to help reduce or eliminate them.

First things first, let's break down the definitions of attachment wounds, attachment styles, and how this differs from "trauma" in the sense of how we have talked about it in previous videos.

That's when she realized the differences in the types of trauma. When someone has experienced attachment wounds or childhood unmet needs (look for more info on this in my next video), that results in a different type of trauma than say a car accident, abuse, or divorce.

This protocol is intended to help individuals begin their journey to healing childhood wounds, particularly from caregivers or parents who were unable to meet their child's needs.

It can feel overwhelming to figure out where to start, particularly if someone has endured a lot of trauma throughout their lifespan. "Worst or first" is an easier way to help narrow down what it is that you'd want to work on.

Find out how using a resource spot in brainspotting may be the perfect way for you to get started, especially if you are feeling nervous about starting. Here I explain more about what it means to "go up the mountain" vs "go around the mountain".

The brain-body connection is so much more complex than we may ever know. Find out how to tap in to your brain-body connection as a way to better understand your feelings and emotions.

I call them "sister therapies" because they work so similarly in how effective they are at processing trauma. Yet, the way in which both of these treatments is administered feels very different in experience.
