After immersing myself (and my family) in the amazing Vietnamese culture, people and food I’m back rejuvenated and even more passionate about the need for cultural reflexivity and humility in working with others. Watching the struggles, the history and the current impacts of ongoing shared experiences of the country and its people, Vietnam solidified and expanded my passion and vision for EMDR and cultural understanding.

I’m so excited to be running the Cultural Continuum - Adaptations to EMDR webinar for the last time this year!

Join me in November for a powerful, thought-provoking 3-hour webinar where we’ll unpack what it really means to hold culture, identity, and lived experience at the heart of trauma processing.

Whether you’re a seasoned EMDR clinician or just starting out, this session will challenge assumptions, expand your lens, and offer immediately applicable strategies to ethically and effectively honor the cultural continuum in your work.

This isn’t just about “inclusion.” It’s about clinical integrity.

Let’s move beyond checkboxes—into real, relational, culturally reflexive practiice.

When the script dissolves and the heart takes over.

I was asked by a colleague to do a brief interview about culture and its importance and relevance in trauma-informed practices. Something unexpected happened — all of my preparation, my carefully outlined talking points, just… disappeared.

Not because I wasn’t ready.

But because the moment called for something deeper.

His questions were thoughtful. Intentional. And they cracked open space for something raw, real, and unfiltered. We didn’t just talk about culture — we sat in it. In the discomfort. In the complexity. In the possibility.

What emerged wasn’t a polished presentation.

It was a human-to-human exchange, grounded in truth, humility, and deep cultural reflection.

This is what I’m passionate about — creating space for honest conversations about culture, trauma, healing, reflexivity and adaptation. These aren’t just buzzwords — they’re the scaffolding of safety. The backbone of true connection. The beginning of collective repair.

In trauma-informed work, we talk a lot about safety, trust, and empowerment. But culture holds those elements too. And when we honour culture with respect and openness, we can begin to move beyond boundaries — beyond performance — into something profoundly transformative.

Let’s keep making room for these kinds of conversations.

Cultural Continuum Considerations in EMDR
A 3-Hour Deep Dive for EMDR Practitioners

Are your EMDR sessions culturally attuned, or are they unintentionally missing the mark?

Join me for a powerful, thought-provoking 3-hour webinar where we’ll unpack what it really means to hold culture, identity, and lived experience at the heart of trauma processing.

Whether you’re a seasoned EMDR clinician or just starting out, this session will challenge assumptions, expand your lens, and offer immediately applicable strategies to ethically and effectively honor the cultural continuum in your work.

This isn’t just about “inclusion.” It’s about clinical integrity.

What you’ll walk away with:
• A framework for assessing cultural dynamics in EMDR
• Tools to navigate identity, power, and positionality in the therapy room
• Real-world case reflections to deepen your cultural responsiveness
• Step by step adaptations to each of the 8-phases of EMDR

Let’s move beyond checkboxes—into real, relational, reflexive practice.

Have you ever really thought about what it takes to work with someone’s culture in EMDR? Cultural Competence keeps being push to us as “best practice” but is it really? In this time in our world and our growing understanding of what culture is are you ever going to really be “competent culturally”?
 
Through no fault of our own we live in a world that continues to confuse culture and race as one and the same, without delving deeper into what it means to be culturally responsive and work in a cultural continuum with the person in front of us.

Come join me as we breakdown the myth that is “cultural competence” and rediscover cultural and intersectional trauma cause by being “other”.

This workshop will provide you not just with theory but with phase by phase adaptations to your EMDR practice.

What are you waiting for?

Places are limited in this small group, boutique training.
