Hi Casey,
I knew Byron, too. Nine years ago during my EMDR training he gave me a free session after that day’s training. I had gotten really activated during a dyad practice and he and the other trainers suggested I let them “treat” me. Well, he was amazing and the results were astounding. That experience changed the way that I do therapy. I am grateful to you, Byron. May you be peaceful. Ray

Love the pearls you and Lorna have shared.

I’ve had a couple of people in my life who have passed along such wisdom….My clinical prof in grad school, Sheila Bienenfeld, PhD, who, when asked by very nervous therapists in training preparing to see their first clients at the university clinic said two words: “be curious”. Whenever I’m at a loss in a session, I remember those words.

Sorry for your loss, Casey.

Jondra

Hi Casey, My EMDR certification and approved consultant mentor, friend, colleague, and coach, Liz Snyker, LCSW made her transition a couple of years ago. To date, she has made the most important contributions to my life both personally and professionally. I will add to your list, two of her wisdoms I loved:
1. business goes up, then business goes down, then business goes up……..
2. (when working with a client who drops out – unexpectedly): They did you a favor.
I’d love to hear more from others!
