About Me:
I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have worked in various settings of change and growth since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, an eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center, and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life’s direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe

  1. I find that talking or stating about mental health issues is like giving away your power and your rights. The word mental health is not the best word to best describe a individual struggling and suffering in their lives. Mental health has a strong stigma attached to it and a has negative impact on their lifes. Reason is all your issues are in your head and your values and issues become not validated cause it's all in your head. The only treatment is medication just very superficial way for treatment and there is always something wrong with you instead of anyone else. So, where is the power in that. We to have a more stronger,a solid core ways to handle mental health, and a better constructive way to describe them and their issues instead of lousy using that word, Mental Health ongoing and endlessly!

  2. I just bought this course on Udemy. I am extremely burned out right now with no relief in sight. Praying that I can learn some strategies to help me hang on.

  3. Wow this is so nice but I’ve question

    What would u do if the youth in your country doesn’t agree with that mental illness exists?and some commit suicide but still they don’t get that people hurt themselves because of depression and other different mental health disorders ?How would u push them to know or to push them to go see doctors?thank u😘❤️

  4. Thank you beyond words for crying on camera! I think I must’ve had so many emotions since my boyfriend and Daddy passed I have never allowed ever sobbed like this. Recently, I had a-chest infection, I am a wise woman, and I have the understanding that the lungs are the seat of grief. So I just let myself sobb! I think I need to do your course. I am such a talented singer and songwriter i’m about to turn 60 I just don’t know how this happened and I have not fulfilled my album dream yet…. I think that is part of it as well. I’m just so sad again I’m so spiritual so happy that I can feel the emotions really help me. I’m going to do your course. Thank you.
