Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming (EMDR)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and reprogramming) has become the most evidence-based and sought-after treatment method in therapy today.

As described, EMDR is our way of shaking unwanted thoughts out of the mind so we can think of other things. Another way to say it is not always what happened to us that counts, but how we feel about it matters.

Or, as James Taylor used to sing, “…it’s not where she’s been, but how she talks about where she’s been” … that’s what matters in romance.

In our use of EMDR, we will use your images, beliefs, emotions, physical sensations, and anything else relevant to assist you in solidifying what works for you and unplugging what is uncomfortable.

Relational Therapy

The great Terry Real founded Relational Living Therapy (RLT). Back in the 1970’s Terry wrote the first book ever to describe male depression. He made huge waves and brought attention to the fact that millions of fathers, sons, and men of all types were struggling with dark depression and didn’t know and didn’t know how to cope.

Terry brings hope and help to couples on the brink of breaking up and shows them new rules of marriage that can save their relationships. He founded the Relational Life Institute, of which Dr. Jones is a part.

The work of Relational Living Therapy fits beautifully with the work Dr. Jones has done when training in Marshall Rosenberg’s Non-Violent Communication. It also fits beautifully with the training Dr. Jones has done with Immanual Prayer and in Psychotherapy with Trauma and Dissociation.

But, when we are children and face an overwhelming situation and do not have the secure relationships and inner resources to face the problem, we all dissociate from our bodies, other people, and God. Recovering our connections leads to love, wisdom, and resilience as adults.

Gottman Therapy

John and Julie Gottman revolutionized the field of Marriage and Family Therapy by keeping meticulous records and data on what changed marriages.

Dr. Jones graduated from Levels 1 and 2 of the Gottman Method of Counseling Couples, The 7 Principles That Make Marriage Work, and The Treatment of Affairs course taught by the Gottmans.
