I have 30 years of experience in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, as well as consulting and professional supervision with a specialty in trauma. Recently I have begun to write about my work using fiction, poetry and film and I have become quite excited about such new opportunities. Some of my writing can be found on my blog at www.selfhelpmagazine.com under the title Trauma in Daylight.
