Lauren and I discussed the differences between trauma therapy and coaching, with Lauren emphasizing that while coaches can provide assistance, deeper issues might require a different kind of treatment that is beyond their qualifications. She defined trauma as an overwhelming event affecting one's physiology and highlighted the impact of past experiences on a person's capacity to handle trauma. Lauren also explained the differences between EMDR and Brainspotting, two therapy techniques used for trauma processing. They also discussed a case of a figure skater who successfully overcame a mental block through therapy. The conversation touched upon the therapeutic methods for treating psychological trauma, the importance of emotional healing, and the qualities someone should look for in a therapist. Lauren shared her personal learning journey and emphasized the resilience and healing capacity of individuals.

Lauren Auer is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of Illinois. She is the owner of Steadfast Counseling, a private practice specializing in comprehensive trauma care. Lauren is trained in EMDR and is a certified Brainspotting practitioner.

You are feeling drained
You have lost your passion
You are lost on the many roles you play everyday
You are a mom 24/7 because you have forgotten to be anything else
You feel empty!
You feel guilty when you make yourself a priority
You feel you are on a hamster wheel
Everyday is the same!
You have lost that spark you once had
You are tired of the same old thing
You don't know where to start!

Reach out to me, let's have a chat!
