Emotional Resolution

Support For These Times

Nearly everyone I talk to is sharing a similar story—feeling more sensitive, reactive, anxious, angry, or even hopeless. Old emotional and behavioral patterns are resurfacing, often stronger than before and people feel stuck there. That’s why I’m now offering Emotional Resolution sessions. This practice has been life-changing for me, helping me navigate and release deep emotional triggers and long-time patterns. My hope is that it can offer you the same sense of relief and resilience in these challenging times.

What is Emotional Resolution? (EmRes®)

Emotional Resolution addresses and permanently clears emotional difficulties that are keeping you from living your full life.​

Our bodies store memories of past traumatic experiences. When we encounter a situation that reminds us of a past danger, our body reacts as if that threat is happening again, triggering an emotional response. EmRes® helps your body recognize that the perceived danger is no longer real. By doing so, it allows you to process past trauma and respond to the present moment rather than reacting based on outdated emotional patterns.

This process involves fully experiencing the physical sensations tied to an emotion—without trying to control them or your surroundings.

How Does EmRes® Work?

EmRes connects you to the root of an emotional difficulty through your body’s physical sensations. By allowing these sensations to unfold naturally, your brain can update old emotional responses, resolving them for good. This simple, yet rarely used, capacity is innate to all human beings.

Where Do These Physical Sensations Come From?

According to neuroscience, these sensations are your brain’s way of predicting and preparing for what’s coming based on past experiences—especially stressful ones. Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett explains that our brains construct emotions by using past experiences to interpret and react to what we feel in the moment.

EmRes® helps the brain update these outdated emotional predictions by allowing us to fully experience them from a safe, present-day perspective. This breaks the cycle of reacting to the past and helps us move forward with greater emotional freedom.

My EmRes® Journey

I want to share why I became an Emotional Resolution practitioner.

For as long as I can remember, I struggled with anxiety and depression. In my late twenties, I began my healing journey—a journey that spanned over 30 years. I tried therapy (multiple rounds), spiritual practices, career changes (three times), SSRIs, and countless workshops—including some that were, let’s just say, way out there.

But no matter what I did, I always felt like I was playing whack-a-mole. I’d work on anxiety, then anger, then depression, then adrenal fatigue, then candida… and then back to depression. Each thing helped a little, but nothing truly stuck.

Then, during the crucible of the pandemic, I hit a breaking point. A total breakdown. I felt lost, hopeless, and completely exhausted. I had no idea what to do.

Thankfully, I reached out to a psychiatrist friend who works with veterans with PTSD. I told him my story. His response was immediate:

"Well, you have Complex PTSD. With acute PTSD, a person is one way, then they experience a trauma, and afterward, they’re different. The cause is obvious. But with Complex PTSD, the trauma happens over a long time, in many different situations. The trauma becomes indistinguishable from your character."

My response? Fuuuuuuuuuck.

That conversation changed my life. Suddenly, I understood what I was actually dealing with. Therapy was helpful, but I knew I needed more. That’s when I remembered meeting an Emotional Resolution practitioner a year earlier. I reached out and started doing weekly sessions.

I brought everything to those sessions—every pattern and emotional state that wasn’t serving me. Depression. Anxiety. Procrastination. Frustration. Any time I found myself in fight, flight, freeze, or appease mode, we worked through it.

Sometimes, the results were immediate. Other times, they took time. But after several months, I can say without exaggeration—this work saved my life. Not in the “I was going to die” sense, but in the sense that I had been living a life shaped by anxiety and depression. A life that affected everything—my relationships, my career, my enjoyment of even the simplest things.

This work changed everything. It changed me—at the deepest level. Today, living in this body feels completely different than it did just a few years ago. I’m no longer trapped in cycles of reactivity—I have real choice in how I respond to life. I feel more grounded, stable, and clear. I trust myself in a way I never did before. And because of that, everything has shifted—my relationships, my work, my sense of purpose. Instead of being weighed down by anxiety and depression, I feel alive and I enjoy being alive a whole lot more!

So, that’s why I became a practitioner. I’ve always been dedicated to helping people in meaningful ways, and I knew I had to add this powerful, life-changing work to my toolkit. Over the past couple years I’ve integrated EmRes® into my coaching practice. Now I’m offering it on it’s own because more than ever, I see people struggling to find calm in the chaos—overwhelmed, reactive, and drained by the demands of daily life. Emotional Resolution offers a way to break free from that cycle, to reclaim a sense of stability and clarity. In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, we all need tools that help us show up fully—grounded, present, and ready to meet whatever comes our way.

“In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”
