The Dynamic Trio:
EMDR, Positive Psychology and Coaching
A Wellness Playshop facilitated by Ann-Marie McKelvey, LPCC, MCC
Ready for exploration and rejuvenation? Time to remember who you truly are? Ready to
update yourself with user-friendly Positive Psychology methods and applications that are
transferable to your clients?
Join us as we connect with self and nature to explore our inner and outer worlds of self-
care. We will cultivate compassion, gratitude and loving kindness for ourselves through
NonViolent Communication, simple Buddhist meditations, and coaching with EMDR. Both
the seasoned EMDR practitioner and those new to EMDR are welcome.
The Dynamic Trio: EMDR, Positive Psychology, and Coaching is based on the two
chapters I wrote in EMDR Solutions II edited by Robin Shapiro and published by W.W.
Norton. The chapters are entitled, "EMDR and Positive Psychology" and "EMDR and
Coaching".

One of the best aspects of being a coach is being held to a high standard. A coach's life
should clearly embody growth, purpose and vision.
Ann-Marie lives those values daily in many ways. For example, in her work as a Buddhist
Chaplain she focuses on: Care of the Caregiver, Peacemaking, EcoPsychology and
Contemplative End of Life Care.
In addition, as a coach and psychotherapist, Ann-Marie will be facilitating the break out

“One of my passions is contributing to the lives of others. Coaching gives me that opportunity.
Together we let go of the story, create a view that is much larger…then we step into that view
and move the action forward. The energy shifts. The mind and body adapt. Your life
transforms…YES!“
