Summary: Seeking Therapist to Write on The Neurobiology of Hope

Query: We’re looking for a licensed therapist or mental health professional to contribute an article for our monthly journal. Our journal is a digital resource that includes science-backed essays, reflections, and practical strategies for mental health professionals and trauma therapists. This article should explore the science of hope through a trauma-informed and neurobiological lens. We’d like to examine: what current research reveals about the neurobiology of hope, how hope influences brain activity, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience, the role of neurochemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin in fostering hope and connection, how trauma can disrupt the brain’s capacity for hope, and how therapy helps restore it, clinical strategies for cultivating hope in trauma recovery, ow therapists can model and sustain hope in the therapeutic relationship, especially amid collective stress.

We are only interested in Licensed mental health professionals (LCSW, LMFT, LPC, psychologist, etc.) with a background in trauma therapy and EMDR who can write in a nonpartisan, science-informed, and accessible manner. Writers should be able to use citations where applicable and be open to collaboration and editorial input. We prefer voices that can blend research with lived or clinical experience

Summary: Seeking Therapist to Write on EMDR and Intergenerational Trauma

Query: We’re looking for a licensed therapist or mental health professional to contribute an article for our monthly journal. Our journal is a digital resource that includes science-backed essays, reflections, and practical strategies for mental health professionals and trauma therapists. This article should explore how EMDR therapy can be used to address intergenerational and ancestral trauma, including: how trauma is transmitted across generations biologically, relationally, and culturally, the neurobiological and epigenetic mechanisms that explain intergenerational trauma, how EMDR helps clients process inherited trauma narratives, clinical considerations when working with clients whose trauma predates their own lived experiences, the role of family systems and cultural identity in healing generational wounds, integrating EMDR with systemic or transgenerational approaches to deepen healing, and ways therapists can approach this work with cultural humility and awareness of collective trauma.
