As a therapist who supports clients in times of grief, loss and tragedy - I see the result of the pain we inflict upon each other. This is messy, painful and complex. We are all grieving this violence together and possibly trying to heal together.

Rachel is headed to a conference this weekend for the EMDR International Association. What is EMDR, you ask?

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) refers to an interactive psychotherapy technique which aims to reduce symptoms of trauma by changing how memories are stored in your brain.

Rachel is proud to be trained in this technique and excited to attend training opportunities like this to help further enhance the tools available in her work with clients!

Had to share this great explanation of #polyvagalt

Had to share this great explanation of #polyvagaltheory from @thefeelingexpert 😩😫😖What is polyvagal theory of stress?

Basically, it’s how we store stress. So how does it impact you? Poly means many and vagal refers to the vagus nerve. It is a key nerve to restore heath in our nervous system.

The vagus nerve goes through your body, so the theory addresses how the body processes stress.

The Polyvagal Theory focus on these three neural circuits for regulation of the nervous system.
* Ventral Vagal: Social Engagement. This is when you are in a state of safety and connection.
* Sympathetic: Fight or Flight. This is when your body readies for action.
* Dorsal Vagal: Freeze. The body just shuts down in response to a perceived threat.

The fundamentals of Polyvagal, is that humans want the feeling of safety. Often the cues we are getting operate under our awareness of what triggers us into stress. Being able to identify the state of your own nervous system helps you to recognize where you are on the map and get back to connection and safety.

A tale of 2 mornings. First, I arrived to my office to find my @serenitysaltsoaks waiting for me along with a happy spider plant. Then I look down to find (swipe) my coffee has leaked down the armpit of my shirt. Is there a better example of rolling with resistance and acceptance?
