Healing Science

A blog linking current research with healing

Welcome to the Healing Science Blog—a space where science meets compassion. Every post here is written through a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming lens and backed by current research. You’ll find evidence-based insights into IFS therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, and mental health support for neurodivergent adults, with full citations and bibliographies for deeper exploration.

Whether you’re a client, a clinician, or simply curious, these articles are designed to educate, validate, and empower your healing journey. My goal is to make psychological science feel human, relatable, and accessible—without losing its depth.
