Review:

“Dr. Parnell’s work is at once brilliant and simple, deep yet accessible, validating of the destructive nature of trauma and hopeful of one’s ability to completely heal. With compassion, attunement, and intelligence, Dr. Parnell guides therapists of all levels through reparative techniques that address many layers involved in healing; from core trauma to consequential addictive behaviors to enhancement of self-esteem, resilience, and reduction of shame. As an eating disorder specialist practicing for 26 years, I applaud Dr. Parnell’s original and creative use of AF-EMDR, Resource Tapping, and the reparative, healing therapeutic relationship to effectively bring clients into full and joyous recovery!” – Julie T. Anné, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist and Eating Disorder Specialist.
