I’m honored to have Deb Del Vecchio-Scully back. Deb is a wealth of information for new and seasoned trauma therapists, alike. In this interview Deb shares about her experience delivering trauma treatment in the wake of school shootings and then goes into depth about what that treatment actually looks like. Deb has focused her career on helping clients heal from trauma and educating therapists about all aspects of trauma, particularly the impact of communal trauma such as school shootings. Because too many do not recognize or identify their symptoms as being trauma, Deb has devoted her professional work to engaging professionals and clients in better understanding the impact of trauma. Deb uses a holistic approach focusing on the brain and body’s reaction to trauma, while using EMDR therapy, Neurofeedback, Attachment focused therapy, Yoga Therapy, Therapeutic Aromatherapy and a relational approach to healing. She discovered an intensive model of therapy exponentially increases the benefits and results of trauma therapy, particularly with first responders and recent traumatic events.Her work with traumatized communities includes survivors of the 9-11 terrorist attack, the Sandy Hook School Shooting and educating and supporting therapists in the Greater Florida area including those in the Orlando area following the Orlando Pulse shooting and the Parkland area following the Stoneman Douglas school shooting. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, she has provided consultation and education throughout the USA and the world. She has worked extensively with First Responders (police, fire, and public safety) and their spouses. Early in her career she was employed as a Police & Fire Dispatcher and is intimately aware of the culture which impacts all first responders. She has successfully engaged those who may have resisted treatment including law enforcement who responded to the 9-11 terrorist attack and Sandy Hook school shooting.Blending EMDR, Neurofeedback and Biofeedback, Attachment with Yoga Therapy, she strives to treat the whole person in a warm, compassionate manner.In This EpisodeDeb's LinkedInDeb's website---What’s new with The Trauma Therapist Project!The Trauma 5: gold nuggets from my 700+ interviewsThe Trauma Therapist Newsletter: a monthly resource of information and inspiration dedicated to trauma therapists.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.
