1:01
Speaker 1: Wow all right, Cedric, welcome. Before we get going, share
1:07
Speaker 1: with the listeners where you're from originally and where you
1:09
Speaker 1: are currently.
1:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. So originally I'm from friends, so that's the accent.
1:14
Speaker 2: I apologize. And I've been living in the Bay Area
1:18
Speaker 2: for about twenty years, over ten three years, so I'm
1:20
Speaker 2: in Oakland, California.
1:21
Speaker 1: Okay, awesome, all right, so let's go back. How does
1:25
Speaker 1: this begin for you?
1:27
Speaker 2: Well, how it begins, shorter version will be. I was
1:31
Speaker 2: a very anxious child and later on a quite anxious adult.
1:36
Speaker 2: I started my career in hospitality business. I was a
1:39
Speaker 2: chef at first, then went to work for the Ritz
1:42
Speaker 2: Carton Company, first as a chef, then as a metal
1:48
Speaker 2: hotel director of restaurant, director of banquets. Learned to manage
1:52
Speaker 2: my anxiety very well, how with alcohol, Okay, okay, that works.
2:00
Speaker 2: We have alcohol and other metadology. And at some point
2:05
Speaker 2: it didn't work anymore. I mean, you know, it wasn't
2:07
Speaker 2: obviously healthy for me, and and it was it was
2:12
Speaker 2: kind of a hurricane constantly in me, even if you
2:14
Speaker 2: didn't show all outside inside was it was a bit
2:17
Speaker 2: of a disaster and a tual diveral things. Alcohol, of course,
2:20
Speaker 2: of course, I should say, of course, but that's in
2:23
Speaker 2: the business that I was. It was available and and
2:26
Speaker 2: and seen as okay, psychotherapy, et cetera. And it didn't.
2:31
Speaker 2: It didn't It wasn't clicking for me because I couldn't
2:35
Speaker 2: keep on managing something that kept on hurting me constantly.
2:39
Speaker 2: So this is when I decided to quit in two
2:41
Speaker 2: thousand and eight and went to France, went back to
2:45
Speaker 2: France actually and learning sol learning somatic therapy. And what
2:51
Speaker 2: has been in my mind since the beginning is I
2:54
Speaker 2: growing up. I was raised by my parents, and my
2:56
Speaker 2: grandfather was a World War two veteran and it went
3:00
Speaker 2: through immense trauma himself, and I was always wondering how
3:05
Speaker 2: people like him and people of his generation could tap
3:10
Speaker 2: into resilience and building a brain new life for their
3:15
Speaker 2: family without having any kind of personal help. So that
3:18
Speaker 2: always was in my mind, Right, Why do I struggle
3:21
Speaker 2: so much from my emotions when I did not leave
3:23
Speaker 2: any trauma that I can remember, and people who leave
3:26
Speaker 2: so much trauma are able to be as resilient as
3:29
Speaker 2: my grandfather was b was. So it was something in
3:31
Speaker 2: my mind, something, something, something I didn't get. What is
3:35
Speaker 2: it that's not clicking in me that allowed me to
3:38
Speaker 2: become resilient so to speak? And this is how I
3:41
Speaker 2: got into into researching somatic therapy and and so on
3:44
Speaker 2: and so on.
3:46
Speaker 1: So the bridge between you being a chef working at
3:51
Speaker 1: the Ritz Carlton experiencing anxiety, he moved back to France,
3:56
Speaker 1: you said, and started studying. So you started studying somatic
4:00
Speaker 1: therapy or psychology because you had been experiencing so much anxiety.
4:06
Speaker 2: Correct, because because it was it was at first it
4:08
Speaker 2: was just to find a better solution for me, and
4:12
Speaker 2: also to be honest. Working at the RIDS, I had
4:16
Speaker 2: an opportunity to manage a lot of people. I had
4:18
Speaker 2: a team of two hudred and fifty people. And you
4:20
Speaker 2: could see that if you don't manage people, you manage
4:23
Speaker 2: the emotions. Everybody come with a load of emotions at
4:27
Speaker 2: work and you've got to take the time to understand
4:31
Speaker 2: the little bit what's going on in the life, what
4:33
Speaker 2: allowed them to be the best version of themselves at
4:36
Speaker 2: work as well. So as a manager, you constantly quote
4:39
Speaker 2: unquote manage people emotions so that they can be in
4:42
Speaker 2: an ecosystem that allowed them to thrive and to feel joy.
4:47
Speaker 2: So emotions always have been something that was quite fascinated about.
4:53
Speaker 1: So you start studying how does everything unfold, what happens,
5:00
Speaker 1: what do you start.
5:00
Speaker 2: Doing so, as I went back to France and I
5:04
Speaker 2: joined a research group of around somatic therapy.
5:08
Speaker 1: So I learned.
5:09
Speaker 2: I learned a specific modelity team that was studied by
5:12
Speaker 2: a gentleman in several of Frances called Jampa. And the
5:16
Speaker 2: the idea is quite simple at the beginning, which is
5:20
Speaker 2: when people feel an emotion, When they start feeling an
5:25
Speaker 2: emotion and they can put their attention into the physical
5:29
Speaker 2: sensation they're feeling, they can remain with the physical sensation
5:33
Speaker 2: they're feeling without interfering with the sensations whatsoever. So no breath,
5:38
Speaker 2: no stretching, nothing. At the end, after a few minutes,
5:42
Speaker 2: the sound sessions abate and what seems to happen is
5:45
Speaker 2: that the emotion that were suffering from is not coming back.
5:51
Speaker 2: So it started from this observation from Jean Paul reg
5:55
Speaker 2: nowadays jam is one of the people working with at
5:58
Speaker 2: the Emotional Health Institute. So we took this observation a
6:02
Speaker 2: plate of course on ourself and other people and started
6:07
Speaker 2: to understand what is happening. I will keep the shore
6:12
Speaker 2: the story short, but after practicing and refining this work
6:16
Speaker 2: from Saya in twenty nineteen, when I say we is myself,
6:21
Speaker 2: doctor Jacqueshimex, with gastro anthologists from the University of Young
6:25
Speaker 2: in France. We build the Emotional Health Institute to really
6:30
Speaker 2: understand what was happening in the brain in the body.
6:34
Speaker 2: That will explain this phenomenon of at the beginning of
6:37
Speaker 2: an emotion. If I'm able to keep my attention on
6:40
Speaker 2: my sen sessions with that interfering with them, the emotion
6:43
Speaker 2: doesn't come.
6:44
Speaker 1: Back at the beginning of an emotion.
6:47
Speaker 2: It's most important at the beginning.
6:48
Speaker 1: Right because I'm thinking someone's in the emotion. It can
6:52
Speaker 1: be very difficult to have that level of self awareness.
6:55
Speaker 1: Give us something. Okay, hang on before we get into
6:57
Speaker 1: the specific to this. So what I'm noticing here, Cedric
7:02
Speaker 1: is you went all in. You didn't just start studying somatic.
7:09
Speaker 1: You went all in. You started, and you started. You
7:12
Speaker 1: developed your own system. Explain that to me.
7:18
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can explain it. I think
7:20
Speaker 2: you you you start, I started falling into it. It's
7:25
Speaker 2: you know, okay, okay, if you look around, very so
7:29
Speaker 2: much misery, very so much misery, because people are trapped
7:34
Speaker 2: into a gel of fear. I would say we have
7:38
Speaker 2: so much fear instead of us, and we we isolate
7:41
Speaker 2: in our fear, and that cuts us from the connection
7:44
Speaker 2: of the world of each other. And isolation create pain,
7:48
Speaker 2: Pain create fear, fear create mayhem. And I could see
7:53
Speaker 2: it for me, I could see it for people around me, clients, family, friends.
8:00
Speaker 2: It became I started reading philosophy, people like Merlo Ponti
8:06
Speaker 2: in France or Spinosa, and trying to understand where all
8:10
Speaker 2: this pain was coming from, and how can we come
8:14
Speaker 2: back to a place where we're more connected and not
8:19
Speaker 2: so much self interested, right, healing for connection, not diving
8:27
Speaker 2: into the self self self self self and just getting
8:30
Speaker 2: getting obsessed by oneself instead of opening up to the world.
8:35
Speaker 2: So so yes, I got yeah, jump Adred and ten
8:40
Speaker 2: person into it.
8:40
Speaker 1: You can say that, yes, during this time, how were
8:45
Speaker 1: you doing personally? How is your anxiety?
8:49
Speaker 2: So I started really being interested in this work because
8:52
Speaker 2: my anxiety changed tremendously, Right. I went from being extremely stressed,
8:57
Speaker 2: a lot of self directed anger and depression to becoming
9:02
Speaker 2: more and more joyful, to not have to control my
9:05
Speaker 2: anxiety anymore. But that's it, that's the key, right, It
9:09
Speaker 2: really started when I didn't have to control my anxiety anymore.
9:12
Speaker 2: But I stopped feeling it when I was able to to.
9:17
Speaker 2: So it's not about not feeling emotions here, let's be precise.
9:20
Speaker 2: It's about being able to feel the emotions that are
9:23
Speaker 2: congruent with our current reality and not being overwhelmed by
9:27
Speaker 2: our fear. Is when I stop having to manage myself,
9:31
Speaker 2: control myself, finding copying mechanism to exist. That as saw
9:36
Speaker 2: that what we were diving in was most important and efficient.
9:45
Speaker 1: So at some point you founded the Emotional Health Institute two. Yet, okay,
9:52
Speaker 1: you are the co developer of emotional resolution. Let's dive
9:57
Speaker 1: into that. What is that?
10:00
Speaker 2: Okay, emotional resolution studied by the observe with the observation.
10:04
Speaker 2: As I said earlier, than if if we're able to
10:07
Speaker 2: get inside the emotion at the beginning of the emotion
10:10
Speaker 2: and feeling the physical sensations happening in the body until
10:14
Speaker 2: that dawn evolving at the end of the evolution, what
10:17
Speaker 2: we notice on the emotion we started with wasn't coming back.
10:22
Speaker 2: So how is that possible? Well, to keep it simple,
10:26
Speaker 2: it's a matter of prediction. Right. If you look at
10:30
Speaker 2: the work of Lisa and Van Barrett out of Boston
10:33
Speaker 2: and the principle of the prediction of the brain. Every
10:38
Speaker 2: debilitating emotional patterns, anxiety, depression, recurring fears, it is nothing
10:45
Speaker 2: else but an outdated prediction from the brain. I can
10:49
Speaker 2: explain why, in a nutshell we know today two things
10:52
Speaker 2: to have in mind when it comes to emotional difficulty is.
10:54
Speaker 2: Number one, the brain constantly predict. This is why before
10:59
Speaker 2: biting an up you know exactly what the apple is
11:02
Speaker 2: gonna taste like the brain constantly predict number one. Number two,
11:06
Speaker 2: we understand how a debilitated emotional pattern is created today.
11:11
Speaker 2: It is always the same type of event that creates
11:13
Speaker 2: an emotional difficulty pattern in our life. This event is
11:17
Speaker 2: what we're gonna call it trauma. And what is a trauma?
11:20
Speaker 2: A trauma is an instent that holds too much stress,
11:22
Speaker 2: physical or emotional for us to take on when we
11:26
Speaker 2: experience it. That's it. So a baby with barely born
11:32
Speaker 2: is going to experience something as a trauma. When forty
11:35
Speaker 2: years old, men will be completely relevant for therefore, for example, now,
11:39
Speaker 2: what's important as well to understand is what creates the
11:41
Speaker 2: pattern is not the trauma. It is the instent of
11:44
Speaker 2: dissociation happening within the trauma.
11:47
Speaker 1: That's more we'll repeat that again.
11:50
Speaker 2: What creates the pattern is not the trauma itself, it
11:53
Speaker 2: is they are the instant plural of dissociation happening during
11:59
Speaker 2: the traumatic event. Okay, so to go a bit more
12:03
Speaker 2: into it is, let's say that I'm being sexually abused
12:06
Speaker 2: for five minutes. I'm not going to see dissociate only once.
12:09
Speaker 2: I'm going to go in and out, in and out,
12:11
Speaker 2: in and out of consciousness. When the stress is too high,
12:15
Speaker 2: we dissociate so we do not suffer too much during
12:18
Speaker 2: this instant. Now, the amount of information that you and
12:23
Speaker 2: I are gathering currently consciously is about two thousand bits
12:27
Speaker 2: of information process at the speed of one hundred and
12:29
Speaker 2: fifteen miles per hour consciously subconsciously, when the prefunct or
12:34
Speaker 2: corotects shut down, you're subconscious as a capacity the ability
12:38
Speaker 2: to gather four hundred billion bits of information per seconds
12:42
Speaker 2: and to process it at this bit of one hundred
12:44
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand miles per hours. These are the numbers
12:46
Speaker 2: from the Penn University. They're from twenty twelve. But if
12:50
Speaker 2: you if you look at data, it's always the same realm.
12:53
Speaker 2: The realm is two thousand basically for conscious versus four
12:58
Speaker 2: hundred billion bits of information. Wow, from the subconscious. So
13:02
Speaker 2: what is happening is during this instant of dissociation, the
13:05
Speaker 2: preforntal contests shut down, so we don't suffer too much,
13:08
Speaker 2: but the subconscious takes over. So imagine vortex opening up outside,
13:14
Speaker 2: gathering all the information around you, the taste, the color,
13:19
Speaker 2: the general information, and the vortex up an inside gathering
13:24
Speaker 2: all the physical sensations, information from the physical sensation happening
13:28
Speaker 2: anybody during this instead of dissociation. So dissociation is inner
13:33
Speaker 2: and outside vortex is happening gathering all this information in
13:36
Speaker 2: a knowlogical, non inner way at a very high definition. Well,
13:42
Speaker 2: the go ahead, I was.
13:43
Speaker 1: Just gonna say. So, if I'm hearing you clearly, then
13:48
Speaker 1: we're still taking in information despite the fact that we're associating,
13:54
Speaker 1: but only on a subconscious level.
13:56
Speaker 2: Correct, we're taking all this information, but it is high definition,
14:00
Speaker 2: high speed, nonlinear knowlgical.
14:04
Speaker 1: Right.
14:04
Speaker 2: Wow, it's like we're pull of information nolinear no knowlogical.
14:12
Speaker 2: Later on, when our brain our body is exposed to
14:18
Speaker 2: one or several elements that were present during a specific dissociation,
14:25
Speaker 2: your brain, my brain is going to predict what physical
14:28
Speaker 2: sensations you're about to feel based on what you felt
14:32
Speaker 2: during this specific dissociative moment. Your brain is going to
14:37
Speaker 2: generate those physical sensations. We're going to call that an
14:40
Speaker 2: interceptive prediction. You know that you feel an emotion because
14:44
Speaker 2: you feel physical sensations. You know that you feel anxious
14:47
Speaker 2: because you have tension in your body that you conceptualize
14:50
Speaker 2: based on the context as anxiety. Same thing for anger,
14:53
Speaker 2: something for depression. We know that you feel a certain way.
14:56
Speaker 2: We know that we feel a certain way because we
14:58
Speaker 2: feel a certain way in our body. This is interception. Now,
15:03
Speaker 2: when the brain is exposed to one or several elements,
15:05
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter if you remember consciously what they are
15:08
Speaker 2: or not to elements that were presenting an install of association.
15:12
Speaker 2: As I said, your brain is going to generate physical sensations.
15:15
Speaker 2: Interception a prediction, those physical sensations that lets you know
15:19
Speaker 2: how you feel. Is nothing else but an nowdated prediction.
15:24
Speaker 2: So during an ameres an emotional resolution session, what we
15:27
Speaker 2: will get to do is to retrigger very specifically an
15:31
Speaker 2: emotion for a client. At the beginning, the body is
15:35
Speaker 2: going to generate this interceptive prediction the current is going
15:40
Speaker 2: to feel some physical sensations. Usually, when we feel physical
15:44
Speaker 2: sensations linked to an emotion or at the base of
15:47
Speaker 2: an emotion, we control them. We breathe with stretch, we
15:52
Speaker 2: talk ourselves out of the emotion. Here, we're going to
15:55
Speaker 2: do the reverse. We're going to bring our attention to
15:58
Speaker 2: the physical sensations in a specific way, and we're going
16:02
Speaker 2: to keep our attention active in feeling the physical sensations
16:07
Speaker 2: as they change in our body. That's gonna take between
16:10
Speaker 2: two seconds and ninety seconds, never more. An emotion never
16:14
Speaker 2: lasts longer longer than ninety seconds in the brain. If
16:19
Speaker 2: I can stay attentive to the physical sensations in my
16:23
Speaker 2: body without trying to breathe stretch changing anything happening within me,
16:28
Speaker 2: so to be precise, if I can give my physical
16:30
Speaker 2: sensations as they change in my body without interfering with them,
16:34
Speaker 2: in a safe environment, in a safe environment, at the
16:39
Speaker 2: end of this indictor receptive interceptive prediction that never lasts
16:43
Speaker 2: longer than ninety seconds, my brain is anticipating to be
16:47
Speaker 2: hit by some kind of danger exactly as it happened
16:51
Speaker 2: during a specific dissociative event. Dissociative event while during a session,
16:56
Speaker 2: nothing happens at the end, I am second sound all right?
17:01
Speaker 1: And and in that process, you're what interrupting the pattern.
17:07
Speaker 2: In that process, you're actually allowing the pattern to be
17:10
Speaker 2: completely replayed without interfering with it, without stopping it whatsoever.
17:15
Speaker 1: Okay, give me, give me, give me a specific give me,
17:18
Speaker 1: give me a specific example. Maybe I walk into your office.
17:21
Speaker 1: I'm anxious, I am, I do have anxiety. So I
17:26
Speaker 1: am an anxious person. I don't know from an anxious person,
17:29
Speaker 1: but I definitely do have anxiety. But if someone walks
17:31
Speaker 1: into your office, what do you do? How does this work? Yeah?
17:35
Speaker 2: Absolutely? So I will ask the person, if we could
17:38
Speaker 2: resolve anything within you today, what would that be? Okay,
17:43
Speaker 2: sh for me?
17:47
Speaker 1: Okay, I would say, I am very anxious about uh
17:55
Speaker 1: going to the dentist and getting a root canal.
17:58
Speaker 2: Okay, beautiful. That's very specific because here you're bringing a
18:02
Speaker 2: good point guy, which is we concept to as thing
18:06
Speaker 2: as anxiety. But the way that you feel when you
18:08
Speaker 2: go to the dentist and you call that anxiety might
18:11
Speaker 2: be very different from an anxiety that you feel before
18:13
Speaker 2: presenting in front of people or before meeting somebody new.
18:17
Speaker 2: So we've got to understand what specific anxiety we're resolving,
18:21
Speaker 2: because the label can be the same, but the feeding
18:24
Speaker 2: in the body might be very different. So here I
18:26
Speaker 2: understand that it's the anxiety that you feel when you
18:29
Speaker 2: have to get some dental work done perfect. That's going
18:32
Speaker 2: to be what we're going to be resolving today. At
18:35
Speaker 2: this point, I would ask you for a specific time
18:38
Speaker 2: when you fail this fear. Nothing traumatic. We never work
18:43
Speaker 2: with trauma in emerates. There's no point in revisiting any
18:46
Speaker 2: trauma because within a traumatic event, chances are your several dissociations.
18:52
Speaker 2: We always work with the way that the person is
18:54
Speaker 2: fitting today. We never talk about trauma in emotional resolution.
18:59
Speaker 2: So we'll ask you a moment when you fail this anxiety.
19:02
Speaker 2: Not because it went wrong at the dentist, No, no,
19:05
Speaker 2: I don't even want to know about that. I want
19:07
Speaker 2: to know a moment when you experien the anxiety that
19:09
Speaker 2: you don't want to feel anymore. And you will find
19:12
Speaker 2: a situation when you fail this anxiety that you don't
19:14
Speaker 2: want to feel anymore, and I will help you to
19:18
Speaker 2: replay that moment to relieve this moment when you fail
19:22
Speaker 2: the anxiety. We will relieve it together in a specific way.
19:26
Speaker 2: Your body will generate the same physical sensation that you
19:29
Speaker 2: feel usually when you feel this anxiety. At this point,
19:34
Speaker 2: I will support you to move all your attention on
19:36
Speaker 2: your body, on your physical sensations. You can have to
19:39
Speaker 2: feel several physical sensations at once, because if you only
19:43
Speaker 2: feel one sensation, the main one, it's not going to work.
19:47
Speaker 2: Your brain is going to hyperfocus, the sensation will probably
19:50
Speaker 2: increase and you will try to control it. So I
19:53
Speaker 2: will I will help you to feel several sensations at
19:56
Speaker 2: once and to do nothing with it, to just be attentive.
20:01
Speaker 2: Those sound sessions are going to move, they're going to change.
20:04
Speaker 2: It's important for me or for you to do nothing
20:06
Speaker 2: about it. They will evolve for about two to ninety
20:10
Speaker 2: seconds and at the end you will feel calm. We
20:15
Speaker 2: will check together that this type of event of event
20:19
Speaker 2: do not trigger those sound sessions anymore. They won't. And
20:22
Speaker 2: then I will ask you when you have to go
20:24
Speaker 2: see a doctor a dentist. The next time you say, well,
20:26
Speaker 2: i'll see one in two weeks. Then as meeting three
20:29
Speaker 2: weeks to make sure that it's gone, it will be gone.
20:33
Speaker 2: Wow Wow, and that's very specific, but it can be
20:38
Speaker 2: also for depression, it be for it can be for
20:41
Speaker 2: a latent anxiety. Right, it's we always take the person
20:46
Speaker 2: currently doing work with survivor of human trafficking in Africa
20:52
Speaker 2: and the impact of the work is beautiful. We also
20:58
Speaker 2: did a research for you CLA on physicians and nurses
21:03
Speaker 2: having high level of anxiety, being close to burnout and
21:07
Speaker 2: working in a very stressful environment comparing MREs to another modality,
21:12
Speaker 2: and you can see very clearly the study is going
21:15
Speaker 2: to be published by the end of the year. You
21:16
Speaker 2: can see very very clearly how the anxiety level tremendously
21:21
Speaker 2: go down working with emreates.
21:23
Speaker 1: So how does this How does the amress differ from say,
21:26
Speaker 1: other modalities.
21:30
Speaker 2: So it depends on modality we're talking about. But I
21:33
Speaker 2: think a couple of things. With emress we do not manage,
21:37
Speaker 2: we resolve. So the goal is reach to resolve an
21:41
Speaker 2: emotional difficulty. Then somebody is identifying so that the emotion
21:46
Speaker 2: doesn't come back anymore. With emress, we work on three
21:50
Speaker 2: levels of emotions conscious which is why people come to
21:53
Speaker 2: see us, you and me. For example, the depression and
21:56
Speaker 2: the anxiety. Things that are chronicote in our face, so
21:59
Speaker 2: that a conscious emotion for me. We work on unconscious emotion,
22:03
Speaker 2: which is more the emotion that we know are there
22:07
Speaker 2: but we don't want to look at so much because
22:09
Speaker 2: they don't fit very much with who we want to
22:11
Speaker 2: be in the world or who want the world to see.
22:15
Speaker 2: So these are the shame, the guilt, the self image emotions,
22:19
Speaker 2: et cetera. And we also work on subconscious emotions. Subconscious
22:23
Speaker 2: emotions so emotions that do not have a label because
22:28
Speaker 2: the sound sessions are not strong enough to be conceptualized,
22:32
Speaker 2: but the tensions and the body. So one other thing
22:36
Speaker 2: with MRS is we're going to work on those three
22:38
Speaker 2: levels of emotion. Another thing which differ with other more
22:42
Speaker 2: than it is is we never talk about the trauma.
22:44
Speaker 2: We don't need to know what the trauma was, and
22:46
Speaker 2: the person doesn't have to talk about a traumatic event
22:48
Speaker 2: in order to resumve. And another thing is we keep
22:52
Speaker 2: things very simple, like there is not a lot of theory.
22:56
Speaker 2: It's very pragmatic, very efficient, and it's extremely flexible in
23:01
Speaker 2: the way that therapists can use it within the practice. Coaches, etra,
23:06
Speaker 2: professional cops, et cetera, et cetera. Is very flexible.
23:11
Speaker 1: In terms of, you know, for example, not needing to
23:16
Speaker 1: talk about the trauma. There's varying you know, opinions on
23:26
Speaker 1: to what degree that is useful within the treatment of trauma.
23:31
Speaker 1: Why do you feel it's not useful especially useful, or
23:34
Speaker 1: helpful or necessary?
23:36
Speaker 2: There are several several reasons for that. One one of
23:42
Speaker 2: the main things that I say is trauma cannot be
23:44
Speaker 2: healed because trauma happened and there's nothing we can do
23:49
Speaker 2: about it. However, what can be healed other wounds than
23:53
Speaker 2: this trauma created in our life? And this is what
23:55
Speaker 2: we do with emers. When we talk about the trauma,
23:59
Speaker 2: we make it more real, we give it more more important,
24:04
Speaker 2: we give you more importance in our life. In in
24:07
Speaker 2: some cases we can become more attached to it as well.
24:12
Speaker 1: Give me one sure, sure we can, we can pass here.
24:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you very much. Okay, yes, we as sorry.
24:42
Speaker 2: I'm an invocation with my family in a hotel and
24:45
Speaker 2: I asked for like check out and they get the
24:47
Speaker 2: new oop I cannot hear you?
24:54
Speaker 1: Sorry about that? I said, Yeah, no worries. We can
24:56
Speaker 1: just easily edit this out. Okay, so continue, Yeah, so.
25:04
Speaker 2: We we we we don't go into the trauma because
25:06
Speaker 2: we don't want we don't want to make it more real.
25:08
Speaker 2: We don't want people to we don't want the client
25:10
Speaker 2: to be focusing on the trauma, but focusing on what
25:15
Speaker 2: is it currently in the life that they need to
25:18
Speaker 2: be shifted in order for them to feel more peace
25:22
Speaker 2: h And as as I mentioned earlier as well, often
25:28
Speaker 2: within the traumatic event, the person is going to experience
25:31
Speaker 2: several dissociations mm hm and and what creates the pattern
25:36
Speaker 2: all the dissociative the wind of the dissociation within the trauma.
25:40
Speaker 2: So talking about the trauma as as as the event
25:45
Speaker 2: is not going to be conductive in resolving the wounds
25:49
Speaker 2: and this trauma created. That's one of the few reasons.
25:52
Speaker 2: And there is more. Maybe we don't need to go
25:55
Speaker 2: into that.
25:55
Speaker 1: Okay, So as we kind of wind in down here,
25:59
Speaker 1: the Emotional Health Institute, you folks offer trainings, correct for whom?
26:05
Speaker 1: What do the trainings look like, how are they accessed,
26:07
Speaker 1: et cetera.
26:09
Speaker 2: So we are offering training on emotional resolution, and we're
26:11
Speaker 2: offering them to therapists, coaches, behavioral specialists, shop professionals, cups, firemen,
26:21
Speaker 2: whoever is working with people dealing with emotional difficulties. So
26:24
Speaker 2: it's it's very wide. We are offering the trainings.
26:29
Speaker 1: Go ahead again, No no, no, I'm just I'm just listening.
26:32
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
26:33
Speaker 2: We're offering the training on zoom. People can take it
26:36
Speaker 2: from all over the world really and we keep the
26:40
Speaker 2: training as compact as we can. So the whole certification
26:46
Speaker 2: process is about about five days. So three days be
26:52
Speaker 2: where we teach the base of the training, the base
26:54
Speaker 2: of MREs with the main the two main protocols. Then
26:58
Speaker 2: people have to experience in the practice. Then we have
27:03
Speaker 2: a module two or we call Module two, where we
27:05
Speaker 2: do case studies to notice what work but it don't
27:08
Speaker 2: work and navigate the difficulty. Then we have Module three
27:12
Speaker 2: which is two days and we do of course some navigating,
27:16
Speaker 2: some case studies, but also how to resolve are to
27:20
Speaker 2: resolve unconscious, unconscious feels, unconscious emotions. And then there is
27:25
Speaker 2: a certification process which is reviewing a session that a
27:32
Speaker 2: participant that's done, supervising the session and giving more tools.
27:37
Speaker 2: EMRESS is not just a protocol or two, it's a methodology.
27:42
Speaker 2: We develop several tools that allow to work with different people,
27:50
Speaker 2: different difficulties. So it's it's very it's very flexible and
27:56
Speaker 2: extremely efficient.
27:58
Speaker 1: Now is this for UH mental health therapists only?
28:04
Speaker 2: No, no, no, h. Professionals can come as well. Coaches
28:10
Speaker 2: come as well, very often, yoga teachers we have you
28:14
Speaker 2: goat teachers as well because emotion comes up in yoga.
28:18
Speaker 2: Mustache therapists is very very wide. So we have people
28:21
Speaker 2: from HR, we have therapists, we have coaches, et cetera,
28:26
Speaker 2: et cetera.
