Completed Somatic Experiencing Training
Hello Dear Readers, Close to three years ago now, I was deciding whether the SE training was a good direction in which to go. SE is expensive. Unless you get a scholarship (or multiple for that matter), completing the entire training plus supervision / practice / personal session hours costs around $12,000. And that isContinue reading “Completed Somatic Experiencing Training”
Staying Sane In Spite of Everything
Hello Dear Readers, Much dichotomy and polarization are going around these days. At least here in the U.S. (and judging from the world news, around the globe really). The double binds we find ourselves in – whether simply dealing with a small group of friends and family, or dealing with the school board decisions forContinue reading “Staying Sane In Spite of Everything”
Early Fall Update 2021
