Writing

# Writing

Practical answers to the questions people commonly have about trauma, therapy, and ART.

## Recent Pieces

Most of what people want to know before a first call is not on a fee page. It is whether the thing that happened counts, whether they will have to tell the whole story out loud, and what this method actually asks of them. These are written for that.

    ### [What ART Is, and What It Is Not](/blog/what-art-is-and-what-it-is-not)
    
    It is not hypnosis, you stay awake and in control the whole time, and nothing gets taken out of your head. What the eye movements are for, and what happens to the picture you carry.

    ### [Was It Bad Enough to Be Trauma?](/blog/was-it-bad-enough-to-be-trauma)
    
    For the person who keeps saying other people had it worse. Why comparison is not how any of this works, and what the nervous system is actually responding to.

This practice is not a crisis or emergency service, and messages are not monitored around the clock. If you are in immediate danger, experiencing a mental health emergency, or having thoughts of ending your life with intent or a plan, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room for an assessment. Veterans can press 1 after dialing 988.

Contacting this practice does not establish a client relationship. Individual outcomes vary. Nothing on this site guarantees a specific clinical result.
