Experienced EMDR therapists know that State Change exercises in Phase 2 Preparation can go waaayyyy beyond Safe/Calm Place (especially for more complex trauma). Have you tried any of these interventions? What are some of your other favorites?

So proud of you OJ! Grateful to be part of your personal journey and evolution presented in your book! It’s an honor to be part of the inspiration of your book. Thank you for the acknowledgment in your book and more importantly thank you for living in purpose and acknowledging your own self value, your golden heart and your many talents.

While humans are incredibly resilient, the impact of war trauma on the brain can be profound and overlooked, especially in the developing brain of young children. By acknowledging the significant threats that events like school shootings, natural disasters, war, and loss of caregivers pose to children's mental health, we can take proactive steps to support their recovery and empower them to thrive despite trauma disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Spread awareness ! 🙏🏼🧠💛

Conflict in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan has led to millions of children being exposed to violence, suffering displacement and losing family. The effects could last for decades.

Therapists!!!! Please check on your fellow therapists, clinical social workers and psychologists… we often carry the weight of the world 🌎 on our shoulders! Our level of empathy , intuition, sensibility and sophisticated radar for detecting narcissistic abuse and evil can often leave us feeling emotionally exhausted and drained. We are naturally truth and justice seekers and the voice of those in need. We advocate for the most vulnerable ones in our society . Know that not everyone will understand those “superpowers” so continue checking on each other and validating each other’s feelings as mental health professionals and as highly empathetic human beings who feel the pain of others as our own. Continue giving yourselves the space to process the nonsense so that we can continue holding space for other’s pain. 🤍 thank you to these beautiful therapists who are beautiful daughters of God and real Spiritual Warriors . Thank you for always being truth and justice seekers and validating our anger and frustration when we witness injustice and suffering In the world 🙏🏼🧠💛 “you might say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one” 🌎✨
