Therapists, can we be honest for a moment?

How many of us completed EMDR Basic Training, felt excited… and then quietly thought, “Why doesn’t this feel as smooth in session as it did in training?”

You are not the only one.

EMDR is powerful. But without continued practice, consultation, and cultural integration, it can feel hard to fully translate into real-world clinical work, especially when working with racial trauma and highly complex presentations.

That’s why I’m hosting a 12-hour live EMDR Refresher focused on racial trauma impacting Black clients.

This is for EMDR-trained clinicians who want:
• A full review of all 8 phases
• Stronger case conceptualization
• Greater cultural responsiveness
• 6.5 hours of guided practice
• Renewed confidence in session

Hybrid format (Atlanta + Live Virtual)
12 CE Hours

If you’ve been wanting to pick EMDR back up with clarity and intention, this is your space.

Therapists, let’s talk.

If you love working with Black clients and want your EMDR work to reflect cultural depth, racial trauma awareness, and real clinical precision, I created this refresher for you.

And if you completed EMDR Basic Training but quietly feel like it hasn’t fully translated into your sessions yet… you are not alone. So many good clinicians walk away feeling unsure. This space is about clarity, structure, and practice, not shame.

This 12-hour live EMDR Refresher includes:

• A full review of all 8 phases
• Racial trauma + historical context
• Neurobiology + AIP foundations
• Culturally relevant BLS adaptations
• 6.5 hours of guided practice
• Hybrid access (In-Person + Live Virtual)

12 CE Hours
Investment: $497

If you’re ready to strengthen your EMDR work with intention and cultural integrity, I’d love to have you in the room.

Hyperindependent? Toxic masculinity? How about a reframe to survival strategies that were learned and passed down from our ancestors!

Rest is resistance.
And it always has been.

A few weeks ago, I visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC, and it reminded me of something we don’t talk about enough: our ancestors didn’t get the luxury of softness. Showing emotion, slowing down, or resting could have cost them their lives. Survival required constant strength despite their pain.

That history didn’t disappear. It lives in our bodies. And we're reminded of it every single day while being Black in America.

So many of us Black men and women are still operating in survival mode: overworking, pushing through exhaustion, and feeling guilty for resting. But we don’t have to do that anymore.

We get to be gentle.
We get to slow down.
We get to take breaks.
We get to rest.

Because rest is not lazines, it’s healing.
Rest is nervous system regulation.
Rest is reclaiming what was denied to our ancestors.

If you’re feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or stuck in a cycle of overworking, therapy can be a space where someone holds you, centers you, and reminds you that you matter.

You deserve rest.
You deserve care.
You deserve support.

Tell me in the comments: How are you prioritizing rest right now?

Check out my VLOG for the rest of my reflections about how incredible our ancestors were and we are as Black folks. We are truly DOPE!

Heyyyyyy Black couples! 🙋🏾‍♀️ 👋🏾 Do you know how something can hit you SO HARD in your relationship--sometimes it knocks the wind out of you. And you never really got to feel held and cared for in it? Well Conversation 5 allows you the space to do just that.

The partner who was hurt gets to speak on how that thang really impacted them, and the other partner practices hearing it without getting defensive, taking responsibility, and showing up with so much compassion and care. This ain’t about blame or shame. Instead, it’s about repair, honesty, and restoring trust.

Hey👋🏾Black Couples! Still contemplating joining us in LA for Secure Black Love's Hold Me Tight weekend? Here’s a sneak peek 👀 at the 3rd convo: Revisiting a Rocky Moment.

This ain’t about rehashing the argument; it’s about fixing the disconnect.

This is where we slow the moment all the way down, get underneath the reactions, and name what was really going on emotionally. Same situation, new understanding. No more spiraling. Just learning how to come back to each other when things go left. 🖤

Hey friends! Join us in LA for this 2-Day Hold Me Tight® Intensive for Black couples who love each other but keep getting caught in the same cycles of miscommunication, shutdowns, old hurt, and outside stress creeping into the relationship.

We’re slowing it down, naming the patterns, healing what’s been carried too long, and learning how to show up for each other with authenticity, honesty, and intention. This is about protecting Black love, not performing it.

If you're ready to stop just getting through it and start feeling connected again, this space is for you. 🖤

Join us in celebrating our very own Natalie Milom, LCSW, in becoming the first, Black ICEEFT Certified Supervisor in the state of Georgia. She joins the ranks of less than 10 Black EFT supervisors worldwide in this model that has been around and healing relationships for over 40 years!

Dr. James Hawkins had this to say about her:

"I am honored to write this letter celebrating the historic accomplishment of Natalie Milom in becoming the first black EFT supervisor in the state of Georgia. I had the privilege of guiding Natalie through her Supervision of Supervision process and have witnessed firsthand the depth of her clinical wisdom, emotional attunement, and supervisory capacity.

Natalie brings a compelling blend of insight, structure, and compassion to her work with supervisees. She consistently demonstrates a clear grasp of EFT’s model and methodology, and she holds both the therapist and the client system with care and precision. In our work together, she displayed a keen ability to track the emotional process in both clients and therapists, offering feedback that was both grounded in the model and deeply encouraging.

What particularly stands out about Natalie is her emotional presence. She listens with empathy, responds with clarity, and facilitates learning environments that are both safe and growth-promoting. Supervisees under her guidance benefit from her steady leadership and her ability to attune to the blocks and breakthroughs that are part of learning this model well.

In addition to her clinical and supervisory strengths, Natalie is deeply committed to the values of EFT—secure attachment, emotional responsiveness, and transformational change. She carries these values into the training space, where she is a great leader, facilitator, and teammate for the various communities she has helped in.

I have full confidence in Natalie’s ability to serve as a supervisor and believe she will be a valuable asset to the EFT community."
