✨ Calling all EMDR clinicians! ✨
I’m thrilled to be offering my fifth DeTUR Urge Reduction Protocol training on October 11–12, 2025 — live and virtual.

This specialized training is designed to give EMDR therapists practical tools to support clients dealing with urges and behaviors such as smoking, overeating, compulsive shopping, hair pulling, and other coping patterns that may block reprocessing.

I was fortunate to study this approach directly with AJ Popky, and it’s an honor to continue sharing his powerful and transformative work with our EMDR community.

I look forward to connecting with many of you at this training!

Love and appreciation to gay uncles everywhere and to the partners, “friends” and “roommates” you love, too. It’s a well-known fact: the only thing better than one guncle is two.
