We just returned from this year’s EMDRIA 2025 Conference held in Anaheim, California, where we celebrated 30 years of EMDRIA’s dedication to advancing trauma healing worldwide. Here are our top takeaways.

If you're exploring trauma therapy options, you've likely heard of EMDR. But what is IFS-Informed EMDR, and how does it differ from traditional EMDR? In this post, we break down the core principles of each approach, explain how Internal Family Systems (IFS) enhances the EMDR process, and help you decide which method may be the best fit for your unique mental health needs. Whether you're navigating PTSD, anxiety, or complex trauma, understanding your options is the first step toward lasting healing.

Still feeling stuck after months or years of talk therapy? You’re not alone. Many clients understand their patterns but continue to feel overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected. In our trauma healing intensives, we go beyond talk therapy with embodied, experiential approaches that help process trauma at the nervous system level. Learn how multiday intensives can support lasting change when insight alone isn’t enough.

Discover why somatic therapy is essential for deep trauma healing, especially in intensive settings. Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic approaches address the body’s role in storing trauma. Learn how integrating methods like Polyvagal Theory, EMDR, and IFS in multiday trauma intensives can unlock lasting relief by regulating the nervous system and processing deeply held experiences.

The Window of Tolerance is a powerful framework for understanding emotional regulation, trauma responses, and nervous system balance. In this post, we explore what it means to be within your window of tolerance, how trauma can narrow it, and practical, therapist-informed tools to help you expand your capacity for ease. Learn how this concept supports healing through modalities like EMDR and IFS.
