It was such an honor to speak with Sandra Paulsen, and to learn from her wisdom. In the podcast, Sandra shared how she went to see a traditional healer, known as a Songoma. This healer turned to Sandra and said, "Why come see me? You are Songoma too!"

We dive into EMDR, and Sandra even shares some of her thoughts on IFS therapy. Sandra shared how she definitely uses parts work, but sees this through the lens of Ego States.

We speak about some of Sandra's amazing books, which include:

"When There Are No Words: Repairing Early Trauma and Neglect From the Attachment Period With EMDR Therapy"

"Looking Through The Eyes of Trauma and Dissociation: An Illustrated Guide for EMDR Therapists and Clients"

"The Beauty and Burden of Autism: Illustrated Guide and Workbook in Color"

"Neurobiology and Treatment of Traumatic Dissociation: Towards an Embodied Self"

"Indigenous Trauma and Dissociation: Healers, Psychotherapies and the Drum"

Of course, we also speak about the incredible cartoons and art of Sandra that are throughout her informative and beautiful books!
