// From a Professional Consultee//

“Laura Swinford provided individual and group supervision for me in EMDR, which expanded and matured my understanding of why EMDR is such a powerful tool for trauma recovery.
She is one of those rare teachers who combines sharp intellect with kindness and nurture. She includes an expert knowledge and keen intuition of how somatic experience reveals the way a person holds and reacts to trauma, as well as ways to address attachment wounding.  She shares her own vulnerability in ways that make it easy to be transparent when struggling with self-doubt: “Am I doing it right?” She taught me how to disarm feelings of inadequacy, and be flexible with the process, which makes space to stay attuned to the client. With her support I have been able to deepen my understanding of the EMDR process and have seen truly amazing healing results happen organically in my clients—it works! I continue to seek her out for consultation and coaching.”
