Ep. #149 Genevieve Boudreault, Reconsolidation Therapy

Genevieve Boudreault https://cfir.ca/ https://cfir.ca/about/toronto-team/genevieve-boudreault-psy-d/  The path that leads to seeking therapy is not an easy one. Life can be difficult. Sometimes, the reason is obvious, but other times our own behaviour is a mystery. We can face depression, anxiety, difficulties in relationships, lack of self-esteem, or face traumatic events. At times, individual help is required and other times it is help with our relationships that is needed. I also can provide therapeutic services in French or English. A career in public safety is unlike any other. Police officers, firefighters, military personal and paramedics wake up each morning with the noble mission of keeping communities safe often risking their own lives to protect others. While these professions can be exceptionally rewarding, these people are regularly exposed to traumatic situations. If you are a first responder or military personal affected by trauma, it can seem difficult to come forward because of the stigma associated to ask for help. Be assured that everything is completely confidential. But trying to ignore what you’re going through only increases your stress and allows the problem to become worst and tougher to treat. Specialized, confidential treatment for first responders does exist. Addressing traumatic memories has typically required a longer-term therapy, which can be difficult to endure for some first line responders and military personnel who may be seeking quicker solutions to alleviate their distress, particularly those who wish for a quick return to work. I practice Reconsolidation Therapy; a ground breaking approach that can help you get rid of your symptoms in 6 sessions.
