Gisèle Harrison EMDR Therapy, Consultation, and Training
Not your typical EMDR therapist, consultant and trainer!I am a trauma and dissociation focused, feminist, anti-oppressive, queer and gender non-conforming affirming EMDR therapist, consultant and trainer. I first learned about EMDR therapy in 1998 during my final MSW internship and completed my first Basic EMDR training in 2001. I have a solo private practice in Windsor, Ontario where I provide EMDR therapy in-person and online and I also provide consultation to EMDR therapists located anywhere in Canada and around the world. I am an affiliate Faculty member with the Creative Mindfulness Network (formerly The Institute for Creative Mindfulness), under the direction of Dr. Jamie Marich and provide in-person EMDR Foundational Training in Windsor, Ontario. I combine many approaches within my EMDR practice and throughout each of the 8-phases: « parts » work (IFS, Schema Therapy, Gestalt, Ego State therapy, Inner child), somatic psychology, expressive arts, attachment focused therapy, mindfulness, movement and anti-oppressive therapy. I firmly believe that helping clients, consultees and trainees identify and cultivate intimacy with their own « parts » system is key to learning grounding and self-regulation skills in the consultation room. I am also a feminist activist that is passionate about dismantling white supremacy and all forms of marginalization including working toward land back and decolonizing EMDR therapy. My areas of expertise include: – Connecting the dots between personal and systemic issues; – PTSD, C-PTSD, Dissociative conditions; – Gendered violence;- Physical and sexual abuse/assault; – Racialized trauma; – Chronic pain and chronic illness (I have lived experience with both); – Developmental trauma; – Grief and life transitions; – Self-esteem;- Caregiver Stress;- Chronic stress and anxiety;- Other adverse life experiences.Please know that I also engage in my own EMDR and parts therapy so that I can be as happy and as healthy and as embodied as possible. I have always been committed to engaging in peer, group and individual consultation and engaging in professional development. I often share with consultees that the day I believe I no longer need consultation will be the day I retire.
