Dr. Trudy's Journey ~ Development of EMET TRAUMA RESOLUTION

In 2005, Dr. Trudy began her counseling career as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at a Christian counseling agency, Crossroads Counseling of the Rockies in Buena Vista, Colorado.   

Working with clients one or two weeks at a time for three hours a day she realized this form of therapy for "the hard" issues was much more effective than 50 minutes of hourly counseling.

In 2010, Trudy went to a secular training (Dr. Peter Levine) about the connection to trauma and

mind and body. She was intrigued with the concepts but wanted to make sure it was in bounds for her Christian belief system. It was then she found the Splankna Training Institute that is known for "redeeming mind and body work for the Body of Christ."

Seeing the need  to help Christian clients with past trauma especially one client suffering from her incredible journey with DID, Trudy began a quest of learning andabsorbing every trauma training possible in her spare time. This included becoming a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (Level 1) and a Level One EFT Therapist with Association of Comprehensive Energy Psychology plus many trainings from Arthur Burk with Sapphire Leadership Group. She considers

Graham Cooke to be her personal mentor to expand her Holy Spirit training. She also studied EMDR, Internal Family Systems and Grief Recovery Systems. Recently, Dr. Trudy completed her

Advanced Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist requirements. This training further advanced her knowledge of trauma and its impact. (www.aztrauma.org)

Learning Biblical Formation and trauma from a biblical perspective from Ashland Seminary was a key component for Dr. Trudy's personal and professional journey. In 2019 she would finish her Doctorate in Biblical Counseling from Masters International School of Divinity that further cemented her Biblical grounding and knowledge.

Out of the numerous trainings and knowledge, the Emet Trauma Resolution tool was born. This is a stand-alone program to help bring freedom to clients. Ms. Johnson wanted to make sure the mind-body work was completely grounded Biblically, yet incorporating the powerful concepts of trauma and how it impacts the physiology of body systems. She credits much of her

understanding of trauma to Arizona Trauma Institute.
