Trauma: While this practice is trauma-informed, we can only work as deeply as you are willing and able to see yourself. For those living with chronic illness, complex family dynamics, PTSD, and more, I recommend an integrated approach to trauma recovery and healing. If you’re not already working with a therapist - please consider it! But the one-two punch of EMDR and nervous system support can also be extremely supportive. Specifically, I recommend finding an EMDR practitioner in your coverage or price range, and then considering additional work with Amy Bonaduce-Gardner at Prism Movement Studio (Amy works remotely over Zoom, and her work in the Fajardo method is incredibly insightful when it comes to body, structure, and the cultivation of a more dynamic nervous system response - helping you move out of chronic fight-or-flight while using the opportunity of your challenges to become more embodied). I have personally worked with Amy for two years, and have found my work with her to quietly underscore all the gains I’m making therapeutically in other realms.
Advocacy Organizations
There are a ton of patient advocacy orgs out there - some providing paid assistance, and other volunteer-led and free of charge. Some employers (and even the VA) offer healthcare advocacy support as a benefit, so it’s also worth asking your HR or benefits team. Explore more below if you’re not already working with me, or feel the need for additional support. If you know or represent an org not listed here and think it would be a helpful addition, head to my contact page and let me know!
