Sample Talk Abstracts

EMDR for Trauma-Driven Depression

Depression is often a trauma adaptation—not a defect. This talk reframes depressive symptoms through a trauma-informed lens and introduces EMDR mechanisms that unlock reprocessing, regulation, and post-traumatic growth. Attendees leave with a framework for triage, case-conceptualization, and referral or integration into care.

Reparenting the Inner Child While Parenting

Parents don’t just raise children—they also re-raise themselves. This keynote introduces reparenting skills (self-compassion, values, and nervous-system support) that break intergenerational patterns and foster emotional security at home. Includes scripts for repair after rupture and three-minute regulation tools.

Sleep, Trauma, and the Healing Brain

How trauma alters sleep architecture and why sleep work accelerates recovery. Clinically actionable tools for insomnia (CBT-I), trauma nightmares, PAP desensitization, and behavioral medicine pearls the whole team can use.
