I offer an alternative to therapy: counseling and coaching sessions for a broad range of issues, via phone or teleconference.
I'm available, wherever you are in the world.
I speak with a student about my background and training in the human psyche and the body/mind connection; how I came into a counseling career; why it's important that there be transparency between counselor and client; my foundation in positive psychology; my training with Dr. Harvey Honig; EFT (emotional freedom technique) - its enormous usefulness and how I used EFT to help me with a histamine overflow due to stress.
I discuss my understanding of the origin of anxiety; how we have parts of ourselves we've exiled, that desire to be heard and respected, that speak to us in physical symptoms and feelings of anxiety; I explain how, when we listen to our experiences, we reconnect with our "lost" selves and can self reintegrate in ways that enrich and heal us; I discuss EFT (Meridian Tapping), therapeutic movement, and other modalities I use with my clients to relieve anxiety, so that we can continue with our effective work together.
I talk about self integration (being in accord with ourselves) and dissociated "parts" we can develop, as a survival strategy, when we have experienced shock and stress; I explain how we can push aside experiences we've found too challenging, especially when we were very young, and develop false beliefs about our experiences that detract from our lives. I also discuss Matrix Reimprinting, a highly effective therapeutic modality that we can use to restore our own emotional inner experience to harmony.
We discuss Matrix Reimprinting further; my student details an experience of her own with Matrix Reimprinting. I discuss intuition, and how the cardiac mind (heart) and enteric mind (gut) are rich in neural (thinking) cells; how the heart mind senses experiences even before the brain; I explain my professional byline, "Play is the gold standard of all goodness" (real adults really enjoy playing!)
I talk about having found my lightness and ability to enjoy zest in life because I have found my way through my own challenges, stress and trauma, so that I am able to successfully facilitate recovery from stress and trauma with my clients, feeling the emotions with them, as they recover. I talk about what I love passionately!
August 2017 interview with Sharon King about Complex PTSD (and healing with Matrix Reimprinting.)
I have had regular phone counseling sessions with Dr. Baker for the past two years and I can confidently say that her unique talents have led to my improvement overall. She is a gem.
I had gone through life (up to my 50's) very suppressed, and it hurt me in the professional sphere. I was also self-sabotaging in the area of my health and personal appearance. I had attracted an emotionally abusive spouse. I was sabotaging my relationship with my young son with unpredictable fits of rage, when rage was the last thing I ever wanted to expose him to. I now understand that my childhood with a narcissistic mother caused me to suppress my true nature and develop behaviors that were undermining me.
Dr. Baker took her magnifying glass to me and went to work. She has just the right balance of analytical skill, healing tools and compassion to have given me my best shot of undoing what doesn't serve me and creating new beliefs and habits that do. I am a work in progress, but I've seen enormous gains, and for that I can thank Dr. Baker.
