Why I Only Work With Men As A Therapist | Julie Marquis | Marquis Counseling | Ep. 14

98% of her clients are men.

Julie Marquis is a licensed psychotherapist, has been in practice for almost fifteen years, trains other therapists in EMDR, and runs Marquis Counseling and Consulting here in Toronto

Welcome back to Creating Consciousness. This week's guest is doing some of the most interesting mental health work in the city, and we spend the episode on the frameworks she actually uses — EMDR and what the eye movement part is really doing in your brain, somatic experiencing and why standing on a balance board can shut down your racing thoughts in a way talk therapy can't, the identity crisis that destroys first responders and military members when they retire and lose their tribe.
