Annual performance review for my Associate Therapist, Hans:

Pros: Excellent at grounding techniques, maintains a calm 'office' environment (most of the time), and never breaks confidentiality (mostly because he’s asleep).

Cons: Prone to some barking in-between appointments, insists on 'tactile breaks' every 20 minutes, and has yet to help with a single insurance claim.

Despite the lack of paperwork skills, he’s the best hire I’ve ever made. There’s nothing like a Corgi greeting to recharge my batteries between sessions! 🐾🛋️

Traditional Exposure Therapy (ERP) isn't the only path to OCD recovery. If you’re looking for a different approach, Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) might be the missing piece.

Why try I-CBT?

Target the root: We focus on how your brain creates OCD doubt in the first place.

Trust yourself: Learn to rely on your senses and common sense over "what-if" stories.

Let’s Chat
I’m support clients reclaim their lives from OCD using this innovative modality.

Emotional and Verbal abuse

Monitoring your location

Digital and Spiritual abuse

Isolation from friends/family

Physical and Sexual violence

Mindful Reads, Series 3 Part 2

Peter Levine's book, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, introduces Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-centered approach to trauma recovery. The core idea is that trauma symptoms arise from a physiological response—specifically, the "fight, flight, or freeze" energy that gets trapped in the body when an individual is unable to complete a self-protective action. The book offers practical exercises to help people safely access and release this stored energy by focusing on bodily sensations.

New series alert! Our next Mindful Read is Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter A. Levine.

This one is all about Somatic Experiencing and understanding that trauma is a bodily experience. It's not just in our minds—it's in our nervous system. Let's learn to heal from the inside out.
