Hello!
I hope each and everyone of you had the opportunity to get somewhere that makes your joy soar! My husband and I got to slip away to Sanibel Island, Florida. But, I'll share a bit more about that and my autonomic response when we meet on May 2nd.

June Presentation @ BBNO Peer Support Group
Meet Rachel Duhon
I am a person who, just like you, has experienced the ups and downs of life. I have felt the pain of not being understood. I have experienced the frustration of not understanding what was happening inside of my own body. This has deeply informed my mission as a therapist. I aim to help you understand yourself, to see and heal the wounds you carry, and to help you feel fully alive as a person in your relationships.

The Featured Spot!
Jennifer Beich LPC
Jennifer Beich has been a huge supporter and promoter of Brainspotting. I met Jen at my first training in Springboro, Ohio. She was an assistant to the fabulous Dr. Christine Ranck.
Her private practice, NEURObloom Counseling LLC is on a short hiatus. She is currently moving out of state and will revisit her love for Brainspotting in the future. Good luck Jen. You will be missed!
"Brainspotting directly accesses areas of the brain where trauma resides and provides a unique method of communicating with the trauma in its own language. In contrast to traditional interventions, brainspotting allows the counselor to simply hold sacred space with the client as healing of mind and body takes place gently and organically."
