I took this photo March 13th just before we went into shutdown in CT. This year has stretched us to reach beyond our limits, to reimagine our businesses and our lives. Our learning, our social interaction and connections have become virtual. Each day we are called to stretch a bit more. We can persevere, we can open ourselves and we can fluorish, together.

One step at a time.
One breath at a time.
One moment at a time.

Integrating Essential Oils in Clinical Practice 06/10/2020

My top 3 reasons for integrating essential oils into your clinical practice:
1. Essential oils contain properties to calm or uplift mood.
2. Inhaling an essential oil is the quickest way to create a state change.
3. Because they work so quickly - under 20 seconds, oils create more time to address the underlying emotional concern in session.

Trauma rooted in the unmet needs of childhood intrude in unexpected ways in the here and now. These wounds interfere with daily living and can come out sideways when least expected. Attachment-Focused EMDR incorporating parts work is a powerful combination for healing these wounds.

How does EMDR work?

Much like Jenga, we systematically reprocess and remove the emotional distress of a memory. This destabilizes the memory network in the brain, leading to collapse of the memory network, just like Jenga!

What do you do when it seems as if people want to stay in their pain?

They have a story to tell and they tell you every chance they get. Well, believe it or not, they may like where they are.

Our job is to leave them there. You can point the way out of pain, but you cannot force them to get out. You can support the move beyond their limitations, but you cannot make the move for them.
