How Do Therapist Resolve Trauma?

Join Craig Foust, Nicole Oliver, and Pete Sandoval as we talk about how therapist approach working with trauma and helping healing occur around traumatic experiences. Trauma therapists use several techniques such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, accelerated resolution therapy, and couples therapy to help with trauma. Each of these methods taps into natural ways the brain is able to heal from trauma and many of them work in similar fashion. 

Join us as we explore some of the techniques and how they work to heal trauma! We hope you enjoy!

Sometimes moving from place to place is a part of life. Sometimes we move because we want to and other times not so much.

Today we talk to Sarah Wilson about her work with dogs and how that informs her some of the family dynamics.

This is a fascinating episode that has me looking at my dogs and wondering how their behavior can inform me about how I am at home with my family. I also have Kristen Craren with me to lend some of her own observations and experiences to the conversation. I hope you enjoy!
