25. Trauma Conscious Embodiment and Revising the Gauntlet Years (ft. Jennyfer Rosado, LPC-S, LCMHC)

This week Karen talks about the frequent reality of crunching CE requirements immediately before a license renewal. It’s tough always having the best intentions to get ahead, but then still ending up putting most of it off until the last minute. Why is it so hard to change this pattern?! There’s a tension between wanting to learn and complete CEs and having to block off time to not see clients in order to do that, so around and around we go.This week we are sharing our conversation with Jennyfer Rosado, who currently runs a medium-sized group practice, Selah Trauma Counseling Center, in Wichita Falls, Texas. She’s a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire and a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas. She also has several certifications in trauma work, including Brainspotting and polyvagal. Jen holds a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Psychology from Chadron State College in Nebraska. She also has two Masters degrees, one in Forensic Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and one in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. With Jennyfer we discuss her many, many moves around the country and how she ultimately found her therapeutic home working with trauma from a deeply authentic and integrative way. The group practice that Jennyfer has built in Wichita Falls embraces the idea of being trauma conscious in all aspects of the practice and her mentorship. Jennyfer has such a compassionate perspective about the experience of young and new professionals trying to find their way, especially into ethical and competent trauma work with clients. We know you’ll find Jen’s voice and vibe to be as soothing and safe as we did!Resources mentioned: Deb Dana’s website: https://www.rhythmofregulation.com/ The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy: Engaging the Rhythm of Regulation by Deb DanaThe Choice: Embrace the Possible by Edith EgerThrough My Eyes: Letters To My Clients (You) by Jennyfer RosadoJen’s practice website: https://selahtraumacc.com/ Instagram: @selah_trauma_counseling Jen’s courses/trainings and second book (The Many Pains) updates: https://jennyferrosado.com/ Thank you for listening!
