Hi, I want to tell you about Karen Grisham. (That's me!)
About my site: I built this site because promoting mental health is such a rewarding part of my work. I am an experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
I am passionate about emotional wellness. My role allows me to have a major impact on the well being of my clients.
I have been a practicing registered nurse since 1966.
In 1996 I earned a Master's Degree in advanced practice nursing, psychiatry and mental health.
EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) revolutionized my practice in 2003, and in 2006, I completed basic and advanced preparation in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques).
Early in 2007 I completed the first Level One preparation in Be Set Free Fast, (BSFF)These additional therapies have allowed me to expand my practice and enhance our nursing community.
While professional nursing services are only available in the office, I offer EFT instruction through my website and can respond to general questions by email.
Many times fears and phobias, as well as other emotional problems can be effectively relieved with self-administered EFT. I can guide you and refer you to telephone practitioners if that is your interest.
My Spiritual and Philosophic Foundations
I believe that "God comforts us not to make us comfortable but to make us comforters."
God's grace during my own life experiences, has taught me a lot about comforting others.
Once again, the autonomy of advanced practice nursing affords me the opportunity to share my expert help and faith in a meaningful way.
When my little granddaughter died in 2002, I searched for a simple, message to reassure me that I wasn't losing my mind.I found nothing I could concentrate on, lots of books, but I had no concentration! This was serious, it was all about Karen getting her mind back, and I didn't have much time.
I developed a simple grief recovery plan, and published it with pictures and brief thoughts to ponder. In my book,
Other publications such as are also available.
