The Angry Viking Therapist™ and The NeuroTrauma Project

Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t do therapy the way you’re used to. Here’s what makes this different—and why it works.

❓ Do I need EMDR?

Maybe. But probably not right away.

I don’t throw EMDR at every problem. I use it when your nervous system is reacting like it’s still under fire—when your body hasn’t gotten the message that the trauma is over.

If you’re still panicking, checking out, or spiraling from something that already happened, EMDR might be the tool. But most people aren’t stuck because of trauma—they’re stuck because of the beliefs they formed around it.

❓ What’s the difference between REBT and CBT?

CBT tries to change your thoughts. REBT goes straight for the core beliefs running your life.

REBT was the original. It’s faster, sharper, and rooted in philosophical truth. I use it to dismantle the lies you picked up in survival mode—things like “I’m not good enough,” “I can’t handle this,” or “People will leave.”

We don’t just reframe the thought. We expose the lie—and replace it with logic.

❓ What’s PPCI?

Post-Processing Cognitive Integration. It’s the phase most therapists skip.

After EMDR helps your nervous system shut the loop, I use PPCI to install a new way of thinking, reacting, and leading. It’s where belief meets behavior—and stays there.

PPCI keeps your nervous system from dragging you back into survival. It’s training for who you want to become.

❓ Can I just talk about what’s bothering me?

No. Not here.

This isn’t talk therapy. You’re not paying me to vent. You’re paying me to help you change. That means exposing the real system behind your reactions—and ripping it out at the root.

You talk, I listen—but then we strike. That’s the point.
