📖We received a reader question regarding flashbacks associated with past trauma. The reader wanted more information to learn how EMDR may be helpful for them. Our therapist Brian Danziger MA, LPC weighed in during our August Newsletter:

Our reader asked: "I am experiencing some flashbacks and having really awful dreams related to some past trauma. I thought I had dealt with it but it’s creeping back into my life. It’s really starting to affect me and a friend suggested I try EMDR therapy. Does this type of therapy work for old trauma?”

💭As Brian mentioned, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been shown to be effective for reducing distress from past traumatic memories, even when the trauma occurred years earlier. Research highlights that EMDR can decrease the intensity of flashbacks, nightmares, and other PTSD symptoms by helping the brain reprocess traumatic experiences in a less triggering way. Many trauma-informed clinicians consider EMDR one of the leading evidence-based treatments for recurrent trauma memories.

Thank you Brian for your insightful responses to our readers!🌿

Evolve in Nature Therapist Sara Truitt wrote a piece for our August Newsletter on the intersection of art and the efficacy of the methodology created by Dr. Richard Schwartz: Internal Family Systems, "Parts Work," titled: "Piecing Together The Self With Parts Work and Collage."

"Parts work is a therapeutic approach based on the idea that we are made up of many different aspects of self, each holding specific emotions, beliefs, or roles that have formed through our life experiences.

Collage is an art form that offers an external reflection of these internal parts. It is a process that doesn't ask us to create something from scratch, but instead invites us to gather parts that are already in existence. For example, you might have a part of you that wants to be connected to other people and another part that pulls away when things feel too vulnerable. These parts often show up in response to past events, and in therapy, we learn how to relate to them with curiosity rather than judgment."

If you’re interested in exploring how various forms of art can support your therapeutic journey, please reach out to connect with one of our therapists here at Evolve in Nature. Link to book an appointment in our bio!

Self adaptors," (a fancy word for "Self Touch") can be an accessible and powerful way to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and supports oxytocin release—which is associated with safety and bonding. It can increase feelings of self-compassion and calm. 😌

Touch interventions such as massage 💆🏽or gentle physical contact reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and physical pain.

Self Adaptors are one beautiful way to invite safe touch. Safe, trauma-informed touch with a trusted other can also be a grounding bridge for nervous-system regulation, emotional safety, and deeper connection. When it’s offered with consent, care, and attunement, touch becomes a gentle healer of stress, trauma, and disconnection. 🌿

Try these simple, effective forms of self-touch and let us know in the comments below what you notice somatically!

Signs of burnout (and what to do): Featured on Therapy in a Nutshell, ER doctor Dr. Laura Hays, MD shares that burnout is a mind-body state that results from chronic high stress—when our systems aren't able to recover.

Burnout was originally studied in the workplace... but burnout also shows up in caregiving, parenting, healthcare, activism, and more.

Burnout is characterized by:
Emotional exhaustion – You feel completely spent.
Depersonalization – You feel disconnected from yourself or your purpose.
Reduced accomplishment – You’re doing so much, but nothing feels effective.

If any of these resonate with you, know that you don’t need all three to feel burned out. One is (more than) enough.

So, What helps?
Reconnect with your body – Grounding, movement, and rest
Name what’s happening – Awareness = choice
Recover in small doses – Tiny breaks make a big difference
Build connection – Talk to someone. You’re not alone.
Honor your limits – Boundaries are medicine

Burnout is a message for our systems. It's not a sign of failure, it's very common, and it's also more than possible to recover. If you need support or someone to talk with, remember that your team here at EIN is here to help.

🪷This week’s journal prompt is an invitation into more kindness and self-compassion:

✍🏽 Write a letter to yourself—from the perspective of you, 10 years in the future.
What would “future you” want you to know in this moment?
What encouragement, wisdom, or perspective might they offer?
How would they remind you of what really matters?

This type of journaling can offer surprising tenderness, clarity, and inner steadiness. If you feel called you can also reverse the exercise:

📬 Write a letter to yourself at 5 or 10 years old.
Speak to child-you with a gentleness you may not have received.
Celebrate their creativity, their resilience, courage, or their sensitivity.
Thank them for being there and being open to you, however hard.

Let the conversation between all of the versions of self be kind. On paper, in our minds and out loud. If you need support from our team at Evolve in Nature, we're here to help.

“We must risk reaching out and looking for non-shaming relationships if we are to heal our shame.” John Bradshaw

Shame is an emotion that is often a symptom of neglect, misattunement, or criticism received in childhood from family, caregivers, society or all of the above. Shame becomes internalized and shows up as a tough inner critic and judgmental voice. There are ways to honor this emotion and gently rewrite our inner narratives so that we can liberate ourselves from unhelpful self-judgement, self-doubt and self-neglect. While subconscious shame can isolate us, self-acceptance reminds us of our innate wholeness.

Internalized shame can bind us into rigid thinking. Try repeating these aloud to yourself:
💬 “I have the right to affirm myself, my body, my thoughts, my feelings, and my behaviors.”
💬 “I have the right to set a boundary.”
💬 “I have the right to take care of my needs.”
💬 “I have the right to be creative and spontaneous.”

If this resonates, you are not alone— shame can be met, tended to and its grip loosened. Healing is relational, slow, and possible! As always, we're here to help. Link in bio to book a session with one of our therapists.

Nervous system dysregulation, anxiety and fatigue can be natural responses to the pressures we face day-to-day. Herbal allies can be helpful compliments to a healthy lifestyle full of physical movement, nourishing foods, community support, and a connection to nature.

Here, we highlight some herbs local to the Boulder area:

🌿 Blue Vervain – Often used to calm mental overactivity and support an overstimulated nervous system.
🌼 Wild Chamomile (Pineapple W**d) – Known for its gentle soothing effect, especially in moments of overwhelm.
🌳 Linden – Traditionally used to ease tension in the heart and body, offering softness during anxious periods.
🤍 Motherwort – A supportive plant for emotional steadiness, often used when anxiety shows up through the body.

Herbs like these can gently bolster our resilience—helping us meet life’s fluctuations with more capacity and care, especially when paired with body-based practices, therapy and nature time.
