Hi, I’m jordan bonner.
“Don’t push the river, it flows by itself”- Fritz Perls
We were created for freedom. Much like a river, we were made to flow, to be valiant, enduring, and uniquely spectacular. Somewhere along the line we have forgotten this-or at minimum believed those whispering lies that we were never that capable in the first place.
Self-protection and self-preservation become more important than living fully, we get a little lost and dare I say wayward. I as your counselor, am no exception to wondering in the wilderness before finding the path to freedom and healing. I will use these experiences, education, a little faith, and knowledge to guide you to the power you hold, that has been there all along. As a fellow traveler here on Earth, lets work together to find and learn from your climb through life’s hills and valleys.
Traumatic experiences, stressful life events, and any hardship we face on our journey can leave an impact that weaves into all that we do. Having my own experiences with trauma throughout my teenage years and into my young adult years, trauma counseling became my vision. I focus my counseling on using our natural God-given abilities and functions to heal from trauma and the patterns that have ultimately lead to surviving- not thriving. Our bodies are incredible, and our minds a vast plane of connections that work for our good if we know how to direct our thoughts, sensations, and feelings.
My one true hope for you is that you come to intimately know, understand, and become content with yourself with me as your guide.
My Approach
Life can become confusing and lonely when your body knows “something doesn’t feel right”. To guide people to and through “what doesn't feel right”, I have become dedicated to the same mission the valiant Francine Shapiro embarked upon in 1987 when she first founded the practice of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR. EMDR creates a pathway for those who feel trapped within their own patterns and need a guide to a more free existence.
Noticing how we create attachments and how our bodies respond to the world around us is crucial in healing the parts of ourselves that separate us from who we are created to be.
I seek to create a come as you are environment. Although healing may present difficult conversations and sometimes full shifts in one’s life, you will be met with love and grace during this process.
