Especially effective for trauma-exposed medical teams, first responders (staff and volunteers), and military troops (active duty and veterans). This one-session, 90-minute group quickly reduces – by at least 50% - negative emotions from a distressing memory. You won’t talk about your distressing memory. I’ll lead you through an EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization, and Reprocessing) technique called “Flash Technique.” You will think about a positive activity while I direct you when to use bilateral stimulation (such as knee tapping and eye movements). This group can be done in-person, online, and repeated as-needed. Reach out to schedule. I can come to you.

Charles Figley (1993) defined secondary trauma as “…the natural consequent behaviors and emotions resulting from knowing about a traumatizing event experienced by another - and the stress resulting from helping or wanting to help a traumatized or suffering person.” Individuals in helping professions are very likely to experience secondary trauma at some point in their careers. Helping professionals can include social workers, counselors, therapists, psychologists, educators, health/alternative care providers, etc. This group provides a space through yoga, mindfulness and meditation for helping professionals to transform trauma to resilience and is lead by a professional who themselves have experienced secondary trauma.
