Sometimes the work slows down not because you’re missing something—
but because something important hasn’t been named yet.

Adolescent wounds often sit right there.

This training helps you see where they show up and gives you a clear way to work with them in EMDR.

Make an effort for yourself—because when you do, you move closer to your goals, your dreams, and a life that truly feels fulfilling.

Self-care isn’t just bubble baths and massages. It’s the everyday choices: planning, resting, working, and making time to play. It’s showing up for yourself, even in small ways.

Lately in consultation, I’ve been hearing a consistent request for EMDR refreshers that are relevant to cultural considerations. Complete with handouts and worksheets!

I love this part of my work. Support is something that was not as easy to get when I was starting out. That's why working alongside EMDR clinicians genuinely fills my soul, hearing what they struggle with and trying to find ways to support them. Cultural competence & humility isn’t something most of us just 'have', it something we learn over time, make mistakes and and learn some more. It’s the work of staying intentionally curious, attuned, and accountable so whoever we are interacting with feel seen, heard and important - and that creates safety.

My colleague and I, Roxanna Carcamo have had numerous conversations on the impact of language, heritage and generational influences directly related to healing within the cultural context.

Join us for this continued conversation and richness of support in your work.
