Resources
A growing library of plain-language resources on the approaches and ideas I find most compelling — EMDR, psychedelic-assisted therapy, somatic work, IFS and parts work, couples counselling, and the deeper questions of what it means to heal.
Written for anyone who is curious, whether or not you are currently in therapy or considering it. New pieces added regularly.
Understanding how your nervous system works is the starting point for almost everything else in healing work. Polyvagal theory, explained simply — what the three states are, why you move between them, and what it means for anxiety, trauma, and relationships.
EMDR sounds strange on paper. Bilateral stimulation, eye movements, reprocessing. Here is a plain-language explanation of what actually happens — and why the research behind it is so compelling.
Why couples fight about dishes, tone of voice, and being five minutes late — and what is actually happening underneath. Understanding the hidden conversation beneath the surface conflict.
Psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA — the landscape of psychedelic-assisted therapy in Canada is shifting rapidly. Here is where things actually stand, and what it means for people seeking this kind of care.
You contain multitudes. IFS — Internal Family Systems — says that is not a problem. It is a map. Here is how parts work actually works, and why so many people find it transformative.
Somatic therapy works at the level of the nervous system and the felt sense of the body. Here is what that actually means — and why talk therapy alone sometimes hits a ceiling.
Emotionally Focused Therapy is one of the most researched approaches to couples counselling. Here is what it involves and what the evidence actually says.
Self-compassion is one of the most evidence-supported predictors of wellbeing and resilience. Here is what the research actually shows — and what it looks like in practice.
Anxious attachment is one of the most searched mental health topics in Canada. Here is a clear, non-pathologising guide to what it actually means and how healing happens.
