SUICIDE SERIES 1: Suicidality & Suicidology

I realize, I founded Coriander Living Collective over 4 years ago and I have never wrote a Blog Post on suicide. It’s fairly typical for me to have clients on my caseload with suicidality or past suicide attempts. It is a clinical area where I have competency, extensive training, and experience in treating and managing suicidal behavior. Suicidality is complex, and death by suicide is tragic, having profound impact on survivors. I have personal history with suicide loss like so many others. If you are someone struggling with suicidal thoughts, in deep pain, or if you have been impacted by suicide loss, there is a space for you at Coriander Living Collective. Just reach out.

Gazespotting Demo!

In Brainspotting, we will often either use a pointer to identify a brainspot or will find a gazespot off in space. Here is a demonstration of Cori finding a gazespot and processing for a few minutes. You can notice micro-reflexive movements as her system works to regulate.

What’s Better EMDR or BRAINSPOTTING?

Both EMDR and Brainspotting (BSP) are comprehensive brain-body based psychotherapy interventions that treat a variety of symptoms such as trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression. I am honored to be able to offer both of these psychotherapy treatments to my clients. I often have clients ask about which one would be better for them and we talk about their symptoms, their therapy goals, and the differences between BSP and EMDR.

Bibliotherapy: Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement by Kevin M. Gilmartin

The last few years have been challenging for law enforcement agencies and officers (LEOs) across our country. LEOs deal with the “maddest, baddest, and saddest” constituents in society. LEOs have a high stress, high stakes job. They are trained and prepared for survival on the streets, but are given little if any training on emotional survival in this high risk role. The current national rates of suicide for LEOs are 2x that of the general population. In his book, Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement: A Guide for Officers and Their Families, police psychologist, Kevin M. Gilmartin states we need to “stop breaking cops.” His book encourages LEOs and their families to make self-directed decisions on how life can function and strategy implementation to insure emotional survival.

Psychotherapy & Support for Law Enforcement, First Responders, & Military Personnel & Families

As I reflect back, it is not surprising to me that I have a history of studying and working within and around the criminal justice system in different capacities. I am called to pursue new avenues and ways of supporting local law enforcement and first responders! This is a population that I believe deeply deserves and needs additional support.

Counseling vs. 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? Which is the best option for you?

Anxiety: A Metabolic Disorder? Not a Psychiatric Disorder.

I thought this article was worth posting because my training background does not deem anxiety a psychiatric disorder, and philosophically, I believe there are ways to treat anxiety besides medications. I conceptualize anxiety as an overacting stress/threat response due to trauma or ongoing stress. I think dietary deficiencies can create stress in our bodies and that prolonged stress hormones wreak havoc in our bodies. Pointed supplementation can be a meaningful part of anxiety treatment along with psychotherapy. Anxiety: A Metabolic Disorder? The most basic symptoms may relate to energy use, and the most direct treatment may be dietary. By Hara Estroff Marano, September/October 2023/Psychology Today.

In-Person SELF-BRAINSPOTTING Workshop Next Week!

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.

Sick of Chasing Symptoms? Ready to Heal?

We all know that if we get a cut on our skin, we should clean the wound, we might put on some antibiotic ointment, if it’s more serious we might go to the ER, but there is a natural process of healing that happens in our bodies where new cells are generated and the wound closes even if we’re left with a scar.

What happens when the injuries we suffer are not only physical? When they’re emotional, cognitive, psychological, relational, or spiritual? What are the scars left then? What are we supposed to do to support our natural healing process?

Brainspotting to Heal from Infidelity

Unfortunately, many of us are touched by infidelity, cheating, and affairs. Just like any trauma, there is a systemic injury to the whole person system, the impacts can be physical behavioral, emotional, psychological, spiritual, cognitive, or relational. There can be damage to your sense of self and worldview and other nasty symptoms that can be hard to move through and overcome.

Following finding out about infidelity, if you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to move forward, BRAINSPOTTING might be the perfect intervention to bring relief and clarity!

Stephanie Larson, MSW is Now Accepting Adult Brainspotting Clients!

BRAINSPOTTING is a body-brain based relational therapy that uses where you look to access stored material in your subcortical brain. Accessing this stored material allows your own natural process to unfold, metabolizing and moving you towards a regulated, state of homeostasis.
