About Transformation Solution

Transformation Solution™ is a synthesis of EMDR and several proven techniques and therapies that is more effective than any one of its parts and that produces effective results as quickly as possible. Using a combination of evidence-based treatments, my clients and I achieve radical change in a very short period of time as compared to any one of these alone. We achieve significant change in the first session and oftentimes, full results within a few sessions.

Transformation Solution™ is not a typical psychotherapy model, it is psychotherapy done differently. TS is a short-term, intensive & effective technique that gets the job done within weeks or months, not through one 50-minute session per week over many months or years. With TS, you get results fast & you’re on your way. Then, if months or years later you come across something that you know TS will help you with, or if you just want to level up, you can come back for another few sessions.

How it works:

Using EMDR therapy as our primary focus, the unprocessed emotions and physical sensations associated with certain experiences are either released or find a home through neural connection to other experiences. The emotional energy is discharged and your experiences begin to make sense intellectually, physically and energetically. Then, using your strengths and resources, we integrate those previously split-off parts; the parts that may have been too painful to look at fully, that were too uncomfortable to acknowledge; we name them and provide the light, compassion and understanding that they need to heal. In the end, you relate to those experiences differently. You will say, yes that happened to me, I remember how difficult it was but the unpleasant emotions and physical sensations are no longer associated with those experiences. Now, the lens through which you view the world is rooted fully in the present, allowing for a life fully lived.

What the process looks like:

Using Transformation Solution™, clients and I co-create goals and EMDR targets with intention from the very first session. Then, we outline a plan that optimizes these goals and intentions, laying the path that turns our hopes and visions to reality: We target an image that is the best “window” to enter the earlier experience(s) that has/have led to current disturbances or unwanted patterns. We then bring our attention to that image and the emotions and sensations in your body and the negative beliefs that go with it. While you focus on that image along with the emotions and sensations, you begin bilateral stimulation (side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or taps). During this brief time of bilateral stimulation (30 seconds to a minute or so), you simply notice any memories, thoughts, emotions or sensations that arise. After that first set is completed you report what you noticed and then go back to more bilateral stimulation, each time following or noticing changes in thoughts, emotions or sensations. This is done throughout the session, with each set evoking a new change, emotion, insight or belief regarding the target event and continues until the target no longer evokes difficult emotions, is less- or no longer disturbing or is replaced with positive beliefs. Throughout the session, we focus on various “parts” of self, giving them voice where otherwise they’ve been silenced. We may work with younger parts who are split off and frozen at a young age; and give those parts the attention they’ve needed and developmentally what they may have been missing. The result is a deep healing that breaks long-entrenched patterns and unwanted behaviors, landing you fully in the present and feeling more rooted in a solid foundation.

What to expect:

Set aside an hour for the first meeting where we’ll briefly review your history, envision and bring to life, “how we know when our work is over”, thereby solidifying your goals and intentions and, if time allows, begin to manifest those intentions by designing and then processing a positive target. Using a positive target right away, we bring closer your desires and intentions through visions, emotions and positive body sensations. Finally, we’ll plan the number of hours and sessions to reach your goals. This may include once or multiple times a week or one to three hour sessions depending on your needs.
