Collaboration with Hailee Wilson

On this episode, I am speaking with Hailee Wilson. She helped me design my website, and brand, and I wanted to share the great work that she does. How many of us in the field need someone in our corner who is tech savy, and able to walk us through creating our web presence?    You can find out more information on Hailee and her company at: www.bocoadvertising.com   And in true fashion of collaboration, she shares about her friend Allison Gianattasio, and her company which is found here: www.scrollmedia.co Although at first glance Allison might seem like Hailee's competition, the both have a lot of respect for one another, and collaborate to help build each other up. They both benefit from this!    I hope you enjoy our conversation, and if you ever do need someone to help with a website, or expanding your vision, you know someone who would be happy to help you :)

Exploring Dissociation with Joanne Twombly Part 1

Season 1, Episode 38, Release Date: 7-15-2024 Exploring Dissociation with Joanne Twombly Part 1   It was such an honor to have Joanne Twombly on the podcast! We speak about dissociation, and also about the integration of IFS and EMDR. Joanne wrote the first article with RIchard Schwartz that connected these two models.  She also has written "Trauma and Dissociation Informed Internal Family Systems: How to Successfully Treat Complex PTSD and Dissociative Disorders." This book was transformative for my work. In a clear and interested way, Joanne was able to share necessary information, so that we as therapist are able to better understand how to recognize and help people struggling with dissociation.   There were so many questions to ask, and Joanne was so gracious with her time, that I felt we could divide this conversation into two parts. In a day or two, I will publish the next section, so you can hear part two of our conversation. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it :)
