I attended the Art of EMDR seminar in France, based in a very nice castle in Candé-sur-Beuvron.

I met with wonderful people who were all open, warm, non-judgemental, and welcoming. I will carry them in my heart forever. 😍

It was directed by Dr. Roger Solomon, whom I admire for his work with EMDR therapists around the globe, by developing more attunement with their clients and their inner parts.

The event was facilitated by Sophie Obin, Marie-France Gizard, and translated by Viviane Akoka. Three great psychologists and people who have a lot to share.

We were 16 attendees, all advanced in our practice and psychotherapeutic journey. All willing to work on themselves and help their partner in the practicum.

Although I often attend trainings and I regularly see a therapist, this seminar helped me grow in ways that I am not yet all grasping.

I did one of the demo with Roger, in which he was the therapist and I was the client. It was real and really deep work for about 90min, with everyone watching. It may seem intimidating, but the group vibe added a component of being seen AND accepted in a vulnerable state, which allowed for healing in ways that I did not expect, furthermore that my session ended in a magnificent group hug where I was at the center of everyone's embrace.
🥰
Back at work now, I have noticed how much more attuned I am to my clients' inner parts. It's hard to explained why; it's not only technique as I've been doing parts work for 2-3 years. I think something both deeper and greater than me happened during all of that week's intensive seminar.

What I know for sure, is that I'll be eternally grateful for having taken this wonderful opportunity, grateful for all the people I interacted with during this seminar, grateful for me and my parts with whom I'm much more aligned, and grateful for all my clients and their inner system, for the trust they have in me and the motivation they inspire me to keep on improving myself both on a personal and professional level.

I really love my office logo, .
The yellow hand, of lending a hand to people, turned upward to because I look up to people and help them rise. The green plant, of hope and growth. And the pink heart, of love and empathy.

I hope it inspires you as much as it does for me.

Another source of inspiration at my work is my clients. I really do love my clients. They help me grow as well, and I have learned so much from them. It truly is a blessing to collaborate with them and accompany them on their healing and flourishing journey.

Healing from trauma is an arduous but necessary task for one's freedom and growth. Being confronted to the dark moments of our history can be challenging, and some people will postpone their healing steps due to fear of dysregulation following trauma treatment.

As a practitioner, I was trained to always consider the safety of my clients during and after our sessions. I find that the approach of the Flash Technique is very helpful and is smoother in terms of reprocessing. We can obtain good results without reliving vividly the disturbing memory, as throughout the process, the conscious attention is focused on a positive and engaging object or memory.

The brain knows how to heal itsel; it has an inner cleaning device which, when properly activated under proper conditions, can make wonders.

Wishing you a fast and smooth recovery,
Geneviève

I'm proud to be listed on the official Flash Technique listing of trained therapists.

A derivative of standard EMDR which offers relief in a smoother way when addressing trauma directly is not possible.

I am a Canadian, I have a Ph.D. in Psychology, and I am living and working as a psychotherapist in Fez, Morocco. I am an accredited EMDR Europe therapist and provide sessions online or from my office named the Centre Grandir. I am also trained to provide EMDR to children and adolescents. Therefore,....

Nature is resourcing. Being in contact with natural elements helps reset the nervous system to be more at rest, at peace, and ready to go. These pauses are not a loss of time; they actually make you stronger and more resilient.
When birds are singing, it signals safety. So indulge yourself in the sounds and sights of the beautiful nature whenever you can.

I love this quote! I feel that if more people would do the psychotherapeutic work on themselves, the world would be a better place.
If you are in therapy, congrats, you are a negative cycle breaker, an agent of change, liberation, transformation, and peace.

Anxiety makes you look at all options❓️No
It looks at the possibilities for harm and danger❗️
That, through a distorted lense of inflated risks and decreased benefits.
And while you stay stuck in the whirlwind of anxious thinking going through all scenarios of how things could go wrong, all the positive opportunities for discovery, growth, and contribution pass you by.
Life passes you by...

What do you dream of, what would you like to accomplish in your life, and what goals would you like to attain?
✨️
Let your anxious thoughts float by like clouds in the sky, take a slow breath out, and do just one little step out of your comfort zone (your prison). Carpe diem❕️

I was in an EMDR training on transgenerational trauma, and this is the quote the trainer, Helene Dellucci, ended her presentation with.

Having meaning, having a purpose, is what constitutes hope in this existence that can often be messed up.

What do you think about this quote, or do you think that you may have inherited trauma from your parents or grandparents?

The puzzle of your life may make more sense when you give back some burdensome pieces that do not belong to you.

Here is a short presentation of EMDR by Dr. Michael Hase.
In this upcoming EMDR Europe conference I will be attending special presentations on the up to date research on the underlying mechanisms of EMDR therapy. I'm looking forward to learn more on exactly why it works, because we already know that it DOES work. 🤩
Of course, make sure you have an certified practitionner.

Qu'est ce que l'EMDR ?

When you are ready to explore the unchartered roads towards your wounded parts, contact me to set yourself on a healing journey.
