Learning how regulate our most intense emotions (rather than exploding or numbing) is one of the most important things we can learn in relationship to ourselves and others. Dr. Dana is very good at teaching us how. As she says learning how to get back to the ventral part of our nervous system is where ‘the magic happens’. Worth watching!

This is about using the Polyvagal Theory in clinical practice. Deb Dana talks about how a focus on experientially understanding the role of the autonomic nervous system helps to creatively involve clients in their healing process.

I updated my website - because my office address has changed but I took the chance to update the entire website as well - I hope you like it - it’s much artsier now, so it reflects that side of me as well as all my training and expertise.

As we grow and recover, we also hopefully uncover parts of us we have neglected or have been too afraid to show the world. Our naturally creative sides often get down played until we reclaim them. And it’s so much fun when we do!

Recently, I really enjoyed freshening up the design with a new color, as well as re-designing the whole website and now I feel so much better about it. I really hope you like it too. And that you are having, or will take the chance, to find and enjoy your own creative sides.
