The 8 Phases of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
Coriander Living Collective has two EMDR therapists, Cori Hildebrandt, MA, LPC WI, LPCC MN and Stephanie Larson, MSW, LCSW WI, LICSW MN. Please reach out for a consultation to learn if EMDR may be appropriate for you.
Learn to Self-Brainspot
BRAINSPOTTING is typically done with a brainspotting therapist, but SELF-SPOTTING is a simple and effective mindfulness-based practice that leads to self-regulation that can be done alone. After 10-15 minutes of self-spotting many people experience noticeable shifts.

Phobias and the Power of Brainspotting!
I often hear people say things like, “I hate snakes, I don’t like heights, I can’t fly, the sight of blood makes me queasy,” and typically people seem to accept those self-limiting beliefs and make choices to avoid those feared things.
If you’re one of those people and you might like to fly somewhere without panic, or not freak out over a snake, then BRAINSPOTTING could help!

THE BRAINSPOTTING EXPERIENCE: What Clients Report and What’s Observed in Session!
What happens for clients during BRAINSPOTTING is fascinating! Many have reflexive and releasing type responses like yawning, blinking, coughing, hot/cold sensations, crying, tingling, vivid images, or reviewing experiences. At the end of sessions, most clients report things like feeling deeply relaxed, fatigued, more focused, having new insight around their issue, and reduction in symptoms.

What’s the Difference Between Counseling and Psychotherapy?
Most clients and people in the field, use the terms counseling and psychotherapy interchangeably, but there is a difference between the two practices. What is the difference? And which approach is useful for what outcome?

BEYOND TALK THERAPY: You Don’t Have to Talk About “It” to Heal “It!”
Talk therapy absolutely can be beneficial and uses our higher thinking brains. Yet as some point, talk therapy is limited because it is not able to access the lower parts of the brain where we hold stress and trauma responses. Talk therapy alone is often not enough to heal human issues.
In my practice, I offer three types of intervention that are able to access the lower brainstem and middle emotional brain to metabolize stressor and trauma responses: 1) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), 2) Brainspotting, and 3) free-form dance movement.
WHAT Is Going on America? Small Ways We Can All Work to Prevent Violence
I am sick of hearing about mass shootings. I am sick of hearing about black and brown folks being brutalized and killed. I am sick of the media response. I am sick that most of us, do not accept any responsibility in ensuring the happiness and security of not only our family and our friends, but also our community and humanity at large.
