What is Zenergy?

The idea behind Zenergy Counseling is simple- being in Zen with your own Energy.

Counseling focuses on finding a healthy balance in life using various set of tools and unconditional acceptance of the core self.

So when my supervisor came to me and “suggested” Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training, her push for it really made me uncomfortable. I went in and needless to say, questioned everything- and truth … Continue reading Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
