Building a private practice is great. But building one rooted in lived experience is on a whole other level.
Christopher Brown, a Marine Corps veteran and EMDR-certified therapist, joins Michael Fulwiler to share his path from combat to clinical work.
After surviving a suicide bombing and facing years of PTSD, Christopher found healing through EMDR and turned that transformation into a mission to help others do the same, may they be veterans, first responders, or trauma survivors.
He talks about launching the nonprofit Growing Veterans, the lessons he learned about money and mission, and why he started Helicon to help other EMDR providers build meaningful, sustainable practices.
In the conversation, they discuss:
- How EMDR helped Christopher process trauma and build clinical confidence
- The journey from nonprofit leadership to private practice
- Why first responders need better access to trauma-informed care
