EMDR 🧠
➡️A therpist will guide you through guided bilateral stimulation as you recall traumatic events.
➡️Goals include reducing the intensity of symptoms, improving emotional regulation, and increasing self-esteem.

DBR 🌱
➡️DBR works to find the orienting tension within the brain and works with the associated defensive response to unlock the responses held back by trauma.

Internal Family Systems 🫂
➡️Therapists will help clients identify and understand each part of their mind that makes them whole.
➡️Goals include personal growth, self-understanding, and self-development.

Ego State Psychotherapy ❤️‍🩹

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) 🌱
➡️Focused on helping identify and manage the underlying causes of mental and emotional struggles.
➡️Can help gain insight into how thoughts create feeling and behaviours, inspiring lasting change.

Wondering about PTSD 🤔💭

It’s not about being too sensitive or not being able to move on.

It’s your nervous system stuck in survival mode after something overwhelming has happened. 😬

Healing is possible when the nervous system is guided back into safety. 🌱

There is a way back to yourself. 🫂

🌿 Smell Is a Powerful Gateway to Memory 🌿
 
Scent is one of the most powerful triggers of emotional memory. A single breath can transport us across time  unlocking moments long forgotten, buried deep in the body.
 
Smell doesn’t just live in the nose, it lives in our nervous system, our cells, our stories. It reminds us that memory isn’t only in the mind. It’s in the body too.
 
🌸 Healing happens when we listen to our senses.
💬 What scent brings you back to a meaningful moment?
👇 Share your story in the comments.
📌 Save this post if you’ve ever felt the past come alive through a smell.

💔 Collective Grief Isn’t Simple

When a leader, colleague, or public figure dies, grief doesn’t look the same for everyone.

Some feel deep sadness.
Others feel anger, confusion, or even relief.
And for many, it’s all of the above at once.

In organizations, this mix can create tension, silence, or shutdown.
People hesitate to talk about it because it feels messy.

But unspoken grief doesn’t disappear, it lives in the body, in the room, in the team’s energy.

Grief isn’t about agreeing on someone’s legacy.

It’s about holding space for impact, difference, and emotion so the nervous system and the group can find regulation again.

At EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre, we help organizations process loss through trauma-informed debriefing and nervous-system-based approaches that restore connection and collective balance.

🕯️ If your team is navigating a loss, we can help you find the path through.

Trauma & the Brainstem: The Hidden Gatekeeper of Safety

When you’ve been through trauma, your brainstem, the oldest part of your brain becomes your body’s gatekeeper.
Inside it are two powerful regions:

⚡ The superior colliculus (that lightning-fast “orient!” system)
⚡ The periaqueductal gray (PAG) (the body’s alarm for threat and defense)

Together, they decide in milliseconds whether what you sense is safe or threatening.

When there’s unresolved trauma, these systems can stay on high alert. That’s why you might flinch, freeze, or feel flooded before you even think.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) helps the brainstem unlearn danger and build new pathways of safety. 🧩

➡️ Healing isn’t about talking your way out, it’s about helping your nervous system feel safe again.

🧠 Using AI to Support Clinical Decision-Making in Trauma Therapy
 
As trauma therapists, we often face complex clinical moments that require clarity and creativity. One tool I’ve found incredibly helpful is using AI to brainstorm and organize my thinking.
 
✨ Here’s a simple framework I use called The Three Rule:
 
🔍 Prompt to AI:
“As a high-level trauma therapist with expertise in dissociation, I’m working with a client struggling with derealization and depersonalization. We’re in the stabilization phase. I want to draw from Ruth Lanius and Bethany Brand’s work on solidness. What are 3 ways I can help this client connect to solidness?”
 
💡 AI Response:
It gave 3 anchoring strategies tailored to the client’s needs. From there:
1. I expand each idea into a therapeutic direction.
2. I choose the one that feels most aligned with the client’s presentation.
3. If that “one” doesn’t sit right, I consult a peer or offer a 15-minute consult to help therapists navigate these decisions.

🛠️ AI isn’t the therapist. It’s a thinking partner. Use it to clarify, explore, and deepen your clinical intuition.

🌟 Feeling Stuck in Session? Try the 131 Model! 🌟
 
As a therapist, clinical director, strategic leader and yes, even a mom I wear many hats 👩‍⚕️👩‍💼👩‍👧. Switching between roles can be overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating complex clinical decisions.
 
That’s why I use the 131 Model a simple yet powerful framework to regain clarity and move forward with confidence.

🔍 Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Get Clear on the Question
When you’re stuck, ask yourself:
➡️ Where am I in the Triphasic Model?
• Stabilization 🧘‍♀️
• Trauma Processing 💥
• Integration 🌱
Or maybe you’re in-between phases? Identifying this is key.

3️⃣ Explore Three Perspectives
(Think: client needs, clinical goals, systemic context and more on this soon!)

1️⃣ Make One Clear Decision
Once you’ve clarified your phase and perspectives, take one focused step forward.

✨ It’s not just a tool, it’s a mindset shift.
