Videos

Not every video has a full page yet. The rest of the library is on YouTube, including talks on C-PTSD, abandonment trauma, and trauma and addiction. New site pages will be added here as they are rebuilt.

Short educational videos on neurofeedback, trauma, male survivors, and IFS. Each page has the player, a written summary, and, where available, a transcript. These are not therapy sessions.

I am a licensed therapist in San Francisco and Palo Alto. The videos are for California residents considering care, and for anyone who wants a clear explanation before they book.
