Begins with Ego State therapy and a process called "the meeting place." Then she integrates IFS, EMDR, and somatic interventions to facilitate your internal work. This approach is transformative and effective, regardless of the severity of your trauma history. It's incredibly meaningful for Yassi to witness clients heal their internal systems by tapping into their inner strengths and capacities.
