For some of us, including me, the phrase “going home for the holidays” invites anxiety, dread, and avoidance. Every year I struggle to decide what to do for Thanksgiving. The “holiday” has a lot of difficult subjects wrapped up in it.
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction is a group program that was developed in the 1970’s and is based on meditation techniques developed by Buddhist monastics over a period of thousands of years. I am a highly trained practitioner teacher of MBSR and also a highly trained meditator and meditation teacher in the Buddhist tradition.
If you’ve been seeking Sex Therapy you already know that Sex Therapists have a content area focus and specialization in sexuality related interventions and that nothing sexual happens in a room with a Sex Therapist!
EMDR is a highly effective and rapid form of therapy for trauma. If you have flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, or if you are stuck in a depression or anxiety spiral due to a trauma, EMDR can help you feel better.
I love using Internal Family Systems because it is such an effective and gentle modality. I have clients who have said they did therapy for 20 years and didn’t get out of it what they got out of a few months of IFS. Talk therapy is GREAT for support but IFS is a neurobiological modality that can release trauma stuck in the body and mind relatively quickly.
