I am still astounded by the incredible EMDR International Association conference. With 1700 attendees, all passionate about learning, growth, community, and healing, it was an awe-inspiring experience. I am always grateful to attend these events, and after 23+ years as an EMDR Therapist (how did that happen, by the way?), I am struck by the diverse range of experiences and connections that can be gained from attending these conferences. They are truly inspiring.

In other news, I was delighted to officially give EMDRIA-approved EMDR Consultant Dr. Elizabeth Warson of Healing Pathways, Colorado, her approval as an EquiLateral ® Consultant. Elizabeth is a researcher, therapist, and true advocate for EA-EMDR.

Elizabeth is seen here on the left with me, as well as Sonja Bigalke-Bannan of Heart Horses, Hawaii, and Brittani Frade of Golden Horse Counseling, Utah, at the EMDR International Association conference.

Congratulations Elizabeth!

We also might have had a lot of coffee that day. Just saying.

“If a man is crossing a river and an empty boat collides with his own skiff, even though he be a bad-tempered man he will not become very angry. But if he sees a man in the boat, he will shout at him to steer clear. If the shout is not heard, he will shout again, and yet again, and begin cursing. ...

Super proud of Griffyn. Nearing 8 months now, he is showing to be quite the therapy dog. We are progressing with our training, and seeing amazing things unfold with our EMDR, EquiLateral: The Equine Assisted EMDR Protocol and DBR-related work. I am always so grateful to bring four leggeds into all kinds of trauma healing, and to see this boy shine is an added bonus!

Many of you met him at the recent DBR/AT that I hosted here in Chandler. Nothing like a whole bunch of EquiLateral: The Equine Assisted EMDR Protocol trained clinicians ALSO helping me to train this pup, each doing so with an open heart and beautiful timing of treats!

Sarah Jenkins, LPC, CPsychol, DBR CIT interviews Dr. Frank Corrigan about DBR Therapy. Our conversation revolves around an introduction to DBR Therapy and the importance of clinicians being well trained in trauma and dissociation. We delve into how to support those newly trained in DBR therapy. As the developer of EquiLateral: The Equine-Assisted EMDR Protocol ® where for 13+ years I have taught the significance of Equine-Assisted and overall Animal Assisted Interweaves, within the phases of EA-EMDR, it is no surprise that our conversation leads to a discussion about Animal Assisted Interweaves within the context of DBR therapy, as well as the power of partnering with animals to address attachment-related conflicts.

For more information on DBR Therapy, Animal Assisted Interweaves, and consultation related to DBR Therapy, as well as EMDR, and EquiLateral: The Equine-Assisted EMDR Protocol ® please visit DragonflyInternationalTherapy.Com or eaemdr.com

Remembering the importance of OUR self-regulation, how true it is that the animals around us thrive when THEY are allowed opportunities for the same!
