& Anchored Relational IFS-Informed Therapy
"You are not what has happened to you."
Through safe-enough connection with internal p/Parts, clients learn that who they are is separate from trauma, memories, and programming/conditioning.
Containment & Building Adaptive Internal Relational Networks
Clients will learn to understand their core-survival strategies while building resilience and the ability to differentiate between p/Parts and programming, while containing memories, to increase internal safety.
Bringing Parts Into the Present
Young p/Parts are cared for and are brought into present-awareness.
Creative Arts As Anchors
Art-making and dialoguing with parts may be used/incorporated to enhance present-orientation.
Re-processing Traumatic Memories, As Choice
Clients have choice and autonomy (self-agency) to decide if they want to process traumatic memories with EMDR.
