In this video I explain a little bit about how EMDR works and why therapy can be helpful.
A Couples / Relationship Strategy for Communicating Instead of Falling into Conflict
How can we stay in conversation instead of falling into conflict?
Containment Strategies
What is containment, and what are some creative strategies? I share some strategies I’ve used (writing, using a literal box, art, textile work), cultural considerations, and how I can’t think about containment without also thinking of embodiment. (I don’t discuss relational containment in this video, but it’s worth a mention…perhaps it’s a topic for a future video!). I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #2071 in CA but this does not constitute therapeutic advice, it’s not individualized.
You’re Invited to Regulate with Me and Co-Regulation
In this video I invite the viewer to try regulation exercises with me as I share some practices I use to regulate. I also discuss how we may regulate with others and respond to our environment. Please note this is not meant to constitute therapeutic advice as it is not personalized.
Self-Care Holiday Edition
Do you find the holiday season to be stressful? Check out my educational video on self-care during the holidays and family events (it is not meant to constitute therapeutic advice). I discuss my interpretation of the Dialectical Behavior Therapy skill “ABC Please” which was developed by Marsha Linehan and discuss my own examples of how to use it. Content note: I reference how past negative events, including different types of abuse or exposure to drugs and alcohol, may impact people today.
