Therapeutic Approaches
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based treatment protocol for PTSD, CPTSD and dissociative disorders. EMDR addresses maladaptive thinking patterns and negative beliefs about the self using bi-lateral stimulation either through eye movement or vibration. For more complex trauma, it can be paired with Internal Family Systems or Ego State Therapy to promote integration of the self and prepare the client for processing traumatic material.
TRE Therapy / Somatic Process
TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
Mindfulness and Meditation Techniques
Mindfulness-based therapies, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are techniques to help individuals develop skills to manage stress and regulate their emotions effectively. Patients develop self-awareness while reducing stress. These practices have been shown to have numerous benefits, including improved mental health, increased emotional well-being, and enhanced overall quality of life.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for overcoming limiting beliefs, reducing anxiety, and improving overall well-being. Hypnotherapy sessions are designed to help you access your subconscious mind and tap into your inner resources for healing and transformation.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical's medical team supports you on all medical aspects.
