Laura’s Handouts

The following are some of Laura’s clinical handouts and worksheets that she primarily uses with clients. We have decided to make them available here, so that clients can access them more quickly than waiting for them to be sent. We hope these resources might also be helpful to those that would like to utilize some self-help therapy in improving their lives and relationships.

These resources are listed in alphabetical order. You can click on any of the column headers to sort by that column e.g. click on “Last Updated” to find all the handouts that have been added or updated most recently or click on the “Categories” tab to find all of the handouts on a particular topic. The current categories are: Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, Infidelity, Marriage, Pre-Marital, Self-Development or Sex Therapy.

You can also use the Search box to search for any key words found in the handout titles, e.g. “coping,” “bridling,” “embracing,” “flirt,” etc. (for all handouts on flirting). To open the handout in a printable PDF file, click on the image or the handout link.

with Natural Bright Sun Light for The Change in Seasons and Vitamin D | Full Spectrum UV-Free, 10,000 lux LED ("Happy Light" / "Full-Spectrum Light Box")
Bright light exposure (with these light boxes) early in the day stimulates our body's production of serotonin (which improves mood and happiness) and regulates melatonin in the evening (which promotes sleep). Adding a light box to your daily routine allows you to stimulate the production of these important hormones naturally to keep your body running like clockwork. Full-spectrum lights can make a difference especially during the winter months (for Seasonal Affective Disorder) but can also be helpful year-round to regulate the production of serotonin and melatonin to regulate the circadian cycles (internal clock).

Bridling and Spiritual Surrender - (Sexual Self-Mastery for Men)
No one teaches young men that the self-mastery that’s required before marriage will also be needed within marriage given that marriage is not a sexual free-for-all. Wives need to feel that they have the agency within marriage to choose sex or not in any given moment and not be “punished” for saying no. They often need time and space to mentally work on embracing their own sexual self by embracing and developing their sexuality. The following are things husbands can do to help in the bridling of their passions (sexual self-mastery) and to help them stay out of “sexual desert”/ deprivation / deficit-thinking mode. This helps to restore sexual agency to wives—providing an opportunity for them to be able to choose their husbands sexually—genuinely and freely—(“I want you sex!”) instead of continually engaging in “duty sex.”

Cereset Brain Rebalancing - Cereset is a new brain balancing ("cerebral reset") technology that is hailed by many of my therapist colleagues as akin to EMDR therapy for trauma and helps with addiction as well. It's designed to relax, reset, and rebalance the brain. This then creates many positive effects. Our brain reacts to keep us alive. When it functions to do that in the face of ongoing or extreme stressors it can become stuck in survival mode. Cereset is a non-invasive process using only brain-initiated sound to relax the brain, allowing it to reset itself and freeing it from freeze and fight- or flight- states.

Clearing Out Your Emotional Closet – This handout is another great tool for process writing. Shining a light on our emotional shadows holds a key to healing from all kinds of dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. Unprocessed feelings, negative thoughts, beliefs, memories, or fear-based attitudes all serve to hold us back and keep us stuck. All emotions are not good nor bad…they just are. They must be experienced, processed and released or they will simply be embedded within manifesting themselves at some point in some way that may not be terribly healthy.Self-Development

Relax and Release: Living from Place of Surrender
This is a compilation of information Living from a Place of Surrender (Chap 7-8) by Michael A. Singer (author of The Untethered Soul works). This “Relax and Release” concept is a way to live in surrender and learn how to stop being “conditionally” okay. It’s an extension of the principles of "Loving What Is" by Bryon Katie and another approach to practicing "spiritual surrender". The hope for this handout is to make these concepts of Michael Singer’s a little more tangible and applicable to help us more easily live from a place of surrender and peace.

S.A. Lifeline 12 Step meetings – We highly recommend these free 12 Step S.A. (sexual addiction) Lifeline group meetings (online and in-person). What makes these 12 Steps meetings unique is: 1) they take a trauma-informed perspective vs. the codependency perspective used in regular 12 Step meetings; 2) they have gender-segregated meetings for added safety; 3) they are a non-denominational, faith-based 12 Step program where participants can reference their own understanding of God instead of just referencing a "higher power; 4) they are a great balance between regular SA.org 12 Step meetings and the church's ARP meetings; 5) those who fully participate in these groups seem to experience quicker healing/recovery from addictive behavior/mindsets and betrayal trauma.

(Note: To access the list of available meetings, SAL requires people to create a free account and sign in for security purposes. This extra step acts as a deterrent for possible ‘meeting crashers.’ They respect the anonymity of those who sign up and ensure names and emails are not shared.)

The Emotion Code: How to Release Your Trapped Emotions for Abundant Health, Love, and Happiness by Dr. Bradley Nelson (Foreword by Tony Robbins) - Renowned holistic physician and lecturer Dr. Bradley Nelson skillfully lays bare the inner workings of the subconscious mind. He reveals how emotionally charged events from your past can still be haunting you in the form of "trapped emotions" - emotional energies that literally inhabit your body. These trapped emotions can fester in your life and body, creating pain, malfunction, and eventual disease. They can also extract a heavy mental and emotional toll on you, impacting how you think, the choices you make, and the level of success and abundance you are able to achieve. Perhaps most damaging of all, trapped emotional energies can gather around your heart, cutting off your ability to give and receive love. The Emotion Code is a powerful and simple way to rid yourself of this unseen baggage. Dr. Nelson’s method gives you the tools to identify and release the trapped emotions in your life, eliminating your “emotional baggage” and opening your heart and body to the positive energies of the world.

The Untethered Soul at Work -- Highlights
This 2-hour recorded seminar by Michael Singer is truly transformative. It's about letting go and transcending the “personal self” and all its wants, preferences, fears, insecurities, dissatisfactions, self-centeredness, etc. into the limitlessness of the spiritual self. Even though it says it's about the work place the principles apply everywhere—your marriage, other relationships, and all of life. If you change yourself (not your job or your spouse) you change everything. It takes Byron Katie’s Loving What Is work to a whole new level of understanding.
