Hi Everyone! My goal is to create high-quality, short, effective and educational videos specific to Trauma and Mental Health that you can utilize and practice in your own journey. I pull from both clinical experience and the scientific literature in hopes to deliver effective and informative content.

My name is Kyle and I am a Clinical Psychologist, Certified EMDR therapist and an EMDR International Association Approved Consultant. I specialize in trauma therapy, from both childhood, adulthood, present-day and occupational trauma. I often utilize several modalities of treatment including Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness.

I think kyle is my vagus nerve fixer.... because he is the most soothing person ever. 😊

All of these were so helpful. I watched 3 videos in a row. I was having a trauma response, with panic attacks, a tension headache, and nausea. I had to stay home from work. I could not stop my body from revolting against me. This was life changing. Thank you.

I've had anaphylaxis and now get a lot of anxiety over whether I can breathe. My stomach gets super tense, and I can't find the right muscles to belly breathe because everything is clenched so hard. I think the sniffing/laughing trick might really help me with that! And I am using those calm down buttons in my ears regularly. Thank you so much. 💜💜💜

Thank you "Kyle Doc Calm". You're a breathe of fresh air! Such a beautiful energy you share!

I'm regularly working on self directed compassion and when I start to yawn to the point my jaw hurts, cry, hiccuping, burping, get gas, I know that the self treatment hit the soft spot. Singing helped me to go through a lot of though times.
