Statements from Leaders in the Field

Voices that shape the work

Words from leading clinicians and researchers that speak to the heart of trauma, healing, and the body's wisdom.

"The synthesis of somatic psychology and EMDR Therapy is an exciting advancement in mental health. As stand alone therapies these are now considered to be two of the best trauma treatment models available. Integrating these therapies enhances the effectiveness of both."

Dr. Arielle Schwartz

"Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness."

Peter A. Levine

"It takes enormous trust and courage to allow yourself to remember."

Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

"Unless you learn to face your own shadows you will keep seeing them in others. Because the world outside of you is only a reflection of the world inside of you."

Carl Jung
