As a survivor of Childhood Trauma, I've been committed to removing the mystery from the self-healing process - both for myself & for my clients - since I first graduated as a therapist in 1997. During my study of how to heal, I developed a proprietary 6 Step System that is based on principles found in Cognitive Behavioral, Embodiment, Mindfulness and Emotion Focused Therapies. Turns out, there's a way to heal trauma triggers - both "Big T triggers" and "little t triggers." Both types of triggers can interfere with your relationships, your sense of happiness and your ability to overcome those pesky habits you don't tell anyone about.

I'm committed to putting you in control of your feelings, your thoughts, your life. Effective therapy requires the therapist to teach, guide & support you in activating your own healing system. My mission is to eliminate your need for long term therapy. I also provide EMDR therapy. Book a FREE consult with me here: bit.ly/TalkToTamara

The tools and skills for self-healing are your birthright. Healing resides within your body/mind/soul and it is your right to understand how to activate your healing system to resolve personal and relationship challenges caused by childhood trauma. This is the foundational belief that drives my work. Visit my YouTube for more: TamaraRidgeTraumaEraseMethod.
