Just registered for the School Safety Summit. I hope I never have to use the information but it's training on helping individuals, families and communities in the aftermath of school shootings. There will also be training on stopping bullying.

Today at 10:45 I’m participating in my first Theraplay online group supervision. I’ll join in with others once a month so I continue to strengthen my Theraplay skills and learn helpful tips from other professionals.

I recently had the opportunity to become certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) at the Rosenzweig Center for Rapid Recovery in Orlando, Florida. This treatment model is different than traditional treatments such as EMDR and Prolonged Exposure in that the client can received immediate relief in one session from traumas and unwanted problems, images or addictions that plague the mind. According to the Rosenzweig center, Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a form of ps...ychotherapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 1-5 sessions). Clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, sexual abuse and many other mental and physical conditions can experience remarkable benefits starting in the first session. ART is not hypnosis. The client is always in control of the entire ART session, with the therapist guiding the process. Although some traumatic experiences such as rape, combat experiences, or loss of a loved one can be very painful to think about or visualize, the therapy rapidly moves clients beyond the place where they are stuck in these experiences toward growth and positive changes. The process is very straightforward, using relaxing eye movements and a technique called Voluntary Memory/Image Replacement to change the way in which the negative images are stored in the brain. The treatment is grounded in well-established psychotherapy techniques, and the end result is that traumas and difficult life experiences will no longer trigger strong emotions or physical reactions. Importantly, clients do not even have talk about their traumas or difficult life experiences with the therapist to achieve recovery. I have begun using this treatment in my practice in Savannah, GA, and invite you to contact me for a free consultation to see if this treatment could be a fit for you.
