    On this episode, Tara welcomes her best friend and guest co-host, Meredith Eaton. Tara and Meredith joined together for a follow up discussion (Part II) from the episode on 2/14 with Brooke Bralove, LCSW-C, ART Practitioner--- all about Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

    Tara was so inspired by this therapy, and Brooke, that she immediately signed up (and has just completed) the certification training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

    Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, evidence-based therapy that employs techniques like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), guided imagery, and visualization to assist people in processing and resolving traumatic memories.

    Here’s how ART can be beneficial:

    Rapid Relief from Trauma Symptoms:ART aims to alleviate symptoms related to trauma, PTSD, phobias, addiction, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. Unlike other forms of trauma therapy, ART does not require you to provide a written or verbal description of the traumatic experience, which may limit feelings of distress.Most people find relief quickly, often within just a few sessions



    Tune in to learn Tara's journey of taking the training and how it can help YOU!

    Saying goodbye to a pet is hard for everyone, especially children. How can parents help their children through the process, remember the sweet memories and celebrate their life?

They will discuss their book, "Good Bye Bella: A Pet Story" In this thoughtful picture book, a young girl named Charlotte says goodbye to her dog, Bella, in the most loving way she can think of and cherishes the last few days with her beloved pet. After Bella passes away, Charlotte and her family celebrate Bella’s life and do activities to honor and remember their sweet Bella.
