Uh, was fascinating and, um, you know, I can't thank you enough for the opportunity.
Anybody who gets the opportunity to work with Doctor Brown, jump at the chance because this is so incredible, uh, to give yourself the opportunity to heal without this feeling of having to do damage to yourself to do that healing process.
So, again, thanks, Doctor Brown.

Hello, my name is John Ebron and I just want to take a quick moment to thank, uh, thank you so much to Doctor uh Ayana Brown. Uh, I got the opportunity to participate in a group. Uh, EMDR, a therapy session with her yesterday and it was nothing short of amazing. I'm so used to the idea of therapy being something of hashing through deep, you know, traumatic experiences and going back into that trauma and digging it up. And this idea of, I believe she says, you know, speak, uh, no trauma, here, no trauma, just get the healing. Uh, was fascinating and, um, you know, I can't thank you enough for the opportunity. Anybody who gets the opportunity to work with Doctor Brown, jump at the chance because this is so incredible, uh, to give yourself the opportunity to heal without this feeling of having to do damage to yourself to do that healing process. Absolutely incredible. You definitely wanna capitalize on the opportunity to learn and grow under her skillful, uh, You know, tutelage. So, again, thanks, Doctor Brown. Great session.

Facilitated such a rich individual experience that I, I was pleasantly surprised, um, and I feel like this group is well suited for communities of color, uh, not just communities, but for families, um, because even though it, it's like your, your process in trauma, you don't have to talk about it.

I just got in from participating in the EMDR, uh, CTEP group and. What did I find most valuable about this group experience? It was the level of individual work that I was able to do. Even though I went in, I went in with an open mind but still kind of guarded. But the the whole process. Facilitated such a rich individual experience that I, I was pleasantly surprised, um, and I feel like this group is well suited for communities of color, uh, not just communities, but for families, um, because even though it, it's like your, your process in trauma, you don't have to talk about it. And no one that's in that group experience knows what you're you're you're processing. Um, so this was a very good, um, experience for me and very insightful, more than what I thought it would be.

And I think what was the most unique thing about this group exercise is that there's other people.
A lot of, a lot of folks don't like Telling people about their business, and this modality of therapy doesn't require Talking as the focal point to, to process through your issues.

What I found most helpful about this group. Most surprising, probably, was that I went into it expecting it to be a learning exercise. I, I thought it purely educational, and so I approached it very academically, like, I'm here to learn a modality, a method of therapy that I'd never seen before, and this could be something that maybe I could put in the toolbox for later. I could learn and develop, and, and use it, use it later. And instead, I became a participant. I wasn't just learning it. Learning it to use, I was working on my own. My own issues. I was Processing with the rest of the group. And I think what was the most unique thing about this group exercise is that there's other people. Working individually on, on their own issues, but we're all doing it in silence. It's communal because it's a group, but speaking and letting everyone know specifically what it is that you're dealing with is not a prerequisite for, for this. This particular therapy. And so for people who are hesitant about Talking in public. I'm, I'm a firefighter, and I also work with people with substance use issues. A lot of, a lot of folks don't like Telling people about their business, and this modality of therapy doesn't require Talking as the focal point to, to process through your issues. And I think that's, that could be really useful for people who are, who are hesitant about that. So I definitely would recommend this to, to really everyone, novice clinicians such as myself, or Or people who are looking for help. And they're weary about talk therapy. I think this is a great introduction into the world of, of Of therapy. For all groups.
