Bio
Jon has immersed himself in the human condition for decades coming from philosophy, literature, teaching and spirituality. In time he came to recognize that large portions of suffering were directly due to trauma and especially developmental or complex trauma. Before entering a clinical psychology program, Jon began to read and explore studies and approaches to resolving trauma. He recognized that merely talking about it often did nothing to change how the body responded to triggers. In time Jon came across the work of Peter Levine, Francine Shapiro, Bessel van der Kolk, Elaine Miller-Karas and finally Laurel Parnell. In the Parnell approach Jon found validation for his instincts to move away from rigid protocols and embrace his instincts to offer clients control, safety, attachment and creative resources to be woven into their trauma work.
