In this episode, Lisa Dion is joined by Ana Gómez, the founder of the AGATE Institute, to dive into the powerful world of EMDR Therapy for children. Ana, whose career has been dedicated to working with complex trauma, developmental trauma, and dissociative patterns, has helped thousands of therapists worldwide unlock the mysteries of EMDR and support children on their healing journeys.
Ana’s unique background—where she originally dreamed of being both a philosopher and a pilot—has allowed her to translate these profound concepts into actionable approaches for helping children. Today, she continues to guide children on an inner journey, giving them wings to soar.
💡 In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
✈️ What EMDR Therapy is and how it can be applied to children’s therapeutic work.
🌟 The importance of attunement in the healing process and how it helps children develop a relationship with their inner world.
💖 How to support your child clients in accessing their inner resources and navigating their trauma.
🧘♀️ Why doing your own “work” as a therapist is essential for being able to guide clients from an embodied perspective through their healing journey.
Listen to this episode and receive your “wings” from Ana Gómez, who reminds us of the profound power of this work and why we continue to show up for our child clients with love, care, and dedication.
🎧 Tune in today for a conversation filled with wisdom, healing, and the understanding that we all have the potential to help our clients rise above their trauma.
