Newly trained in EMDR but still feeling like you don’t know where to start with your clients?
You probably left training feeling either really excited or terrified but you did the training and now you are “supposed to be doing EMDR”

Then this straight to-the-point e-book is for you!

EMDR Trained Now What? A Consultants Guide to Your First 20 EMDR Sessions. Is a guide for therapist who went to basic training and still feel like they are unsure of where to begin. Or like many you left training thinking your sessions would look like the videos you watched in training.

I’ve coached and consulted hundreds of newly trained EMDR clinicians over the last few years. This year I coached back to back trainings and the common theme after each training was “Where do I begin and what is this supposed to look like?”
This guide is for you! Download it today!!

Ballast?!? I asked chat to give me my word for 2026 and this is what gave me. Prior to reading what it meant/was I was like “ok chat this is random”. But…. After reading the definition and sitting on it, this fits. As a trainer I am teaching clinicians how to build and maintain stability with their clients. During those trainings I am also adding to their vessels so they have stability to both learn and then do. As a therapist I am their ballast while I’m teaching them to be their own.
So for 2026 this is what I’m offering for high achieving women who are successful on paper but behind closed doors they are holding on trying to maintain, trying to lead, trying to build, all while smiling and continuing to do “what they are supposed to” . If this resonates drop a ❤️

I have said this for years. While the presentation looks similar they are different and should be treated at such.

Today’s affirmation is needed but hard. Trusting the journey when you feel like you can’t see what’s in front of you is hard to do. At the same time, moving forward is the only way to go and the journey is forward so I will trust it! Drop a 💙if this resonates. PS the link to purchase this deck is in the bio.

Thanksgiving brings up a lot of emotions for everyone. For some today will be full of laughs and warmth. For others they will be navigating difficult relationships and conversations.
Regardless of how you are spending the day make sure you pour into you. Take breaks as needed. Drink plenty of water and remember to BREATHE through it.

High Performers… it’s the stillness that often gets us.. it’s not working hard. We know how to do that. It’s not FOMO, we are the trendsetters. It’s the Stillness!! It’s the thought of our actions not being tied to production that gets many of us!! If this resonates drop a 💛in the comments.

In the 1960's, writer Anaïs Nin often reflected on the subjective nature of perception and the impact of personal experience on how we interpret the world. The quote, "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are," aligns deeply with Polyvagal Theory, which suggests that our perception of the world is closely influenced by our internal physiological and emotional states.

According to Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, through "neuroception" we scan other people, our own body, and the environment for cues of safety and danger. If we are in a ventral vagal state—feeling safe, calm, and socially engaged—our perception of the world reflects this sense of inner security. We’re more likely to interpret situations positively, approach others with openness, and feel connected to those around us. Our inner state of safety and security colors our perception of people and situations, allowing us to see the world through a lens of safety and connection.

On the other hand, if we are in a sympathetic or dorsal vagal states and feeling unsafe, our perception of the world shifts accordingly. In these states, we tend to view our environment as threatening or overwhelming, even if nothing externally has changed. This happens because our nervous system’s state influences what we notice and how we interpret social cues, which leads us to experience the world in line with our inner anxiety or withdrawal.

Learn more about Polyvagal Theory and neuroception on our website at polyvagal.org where you'll find courses and trainings, free resources, an online global community, and more. We hope you'll join us to create a safer and more connected world.
