I have a passion for spreading the word regarding how working through a traumatic history reawakens inherent reslience and seemingly boundless life energy and passion for self and others. Please let me know if I can help as a keynote speaker or workshop leader. I am comfortable with groups as small as 10 and as large as 1000, in peaceful civilian contexts as well as post-disaster or near areas of international conflict. I have received wonderful feedback in every setting regarding clarity, rigorous content, and funny, humane ways of sharing my story as a therapist, researcher, and vicarious trauma survivor. Among the most popular, recent topics for providers and patients alike are:
- What Really is Trauma-Informed Practice ? (For Hospitals, NGO’s, Schools)
- Acute Stress Disorder, Peri-Traumatic Stress and PTSD: Understanding the Arc of Recovery in High Stress Conditions (All Audiences)
- Pathological Dissociation: Survivors in the Clinic and the Courtroom (All Audiences)
- Integration of EMDR, Minduflness and Exposure for Maximal Gains (For Therapists)
- Moral Injury and the Moral Model of Trauma (All Audiences)
- Helping ‘Til It Hurts: Trauma, Recovery and the Codependent Caretaker (All Audiences)
