Revival Therapy by Mihaela Campion

From a distance, things look simple. But the closer you get, the more layers you begin to notice.

People are like that, too.

What looks calm and put together on the outside
often carries complexity, history, and quiet effort beneath the surface.

When we slow down enough to see those layers—
in ourselves and in others—something shifts.

What’s something about people you don’t immediately see?

Reflections in Between Spaces

Many high performers reach a point where what used to work… no longer does.
You’re still capable. Still delivering.
But something feels off—misaligned, harder, heavier.
This often isn’t a performance issue. It’s a transition point.
The old way of operating no longer fits the next level.

Where are you noticing this in your work or life?

From my presentation, Voices of Resilience

What can we do as therapists? Trauma-informed care is
essential when working with refugee and immigrant populations
because a large proportion of these individuals have experienced
significant trauma. Research indicates that over 50% of refugees
experienced traumatic events before migration (Fazel et al., 2005), highlighting the need for sensitive approaches in healthcare and social services.

Key Takeaways from my presentation at the Mediterranean Region Counselors conference in Seville.

To serve immigrant populations effectively:

Screen with cultural sensitivity: misdiagnosis rates are two times
higher in minority immigrant populations when the cultural context is ignored (Snowden, 2001).

Collaborate with families: family-based interventions improve
treatment adherence by 30% (Miller et al., 2018).
Practice humility: recognizing limitations enhances trust, which is a predictor of treatment engagement.

Very excited to present at the Mental Health Beyond Borders: From Crisis to Connection conference, organized by the Mediterranean Region Counselors Association.

My presentation is Voices of Resilience: Advocacy and Mental Health Support for Immigrants (1.0 CE)

The presentation examines the critical intersection of immigration, mental health, and advocacy. We will explore the unique psychological challenges faced by immigrant populations, particularly undocumented individuals, due to factors such as displacement, acculturation stress, legal uncertainty, and systemic barriers to mental health care. It highlights evidence-based counseling strategies that promote resilience, including trauma-informed therapy, culturally responsive interventions, and community-based support systems. The presentation is highly relevant to counseling, as it underscores the need to integrate social justice and mental health care for marginalized populations. Counselors can develop more inclusive and equitable therapeutic practices by fostering awareness of the sociopolitical factors affecting immigrant well-being. The discussion reinforces ethical obligations to advocate for systemic change, ensuring that mental health services are accessible and responsive to the diverse needs of immigrant communities.

To be an effective therapist, you must both understand the experience of therapy from the patient's perspective and to know yourselt extremely well. This last piece is critical to working in the here and now, because you need great awareness of your own perceptions and biases. During the session, a good therapist is reading the interaction and making careful notes of the emotional responses they are having to the patient.
