I’m a ghostwriter who helps therapists and mental health professionals create clear, consistent, and authentic LinkedIn content. Below are samples of my work—designed to build trust, connect with the right audience, and reflect your unique voice.
Sample 1:
This post was written to help a trauma-focused therapist connect with potential clients by sharing a vulnerable, real-life transformation through EMDR therapy.
It’s designed to build trust, encourage engagement, and show what’s possible when therapy works—without feeling clinical or overly polished.
The Therapy That Changed My Life: My Journey with EMDR
For nearly 32 years, I had no idea I was living with Complex PTSD. It wasn’t even on my radar—I thought PTSD only happened to soldiers. But looking back now, it all makes perfect sense.
This is the story of how EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) radically changed my life.
The New Normal (That Wasn’t Normal)
It’s strange how even the worst situations can start to feel normal. Before I started EMDR with my therapist Peter, I was a wreck. I couldn’t hold down a job. My physical health was deteriorating. I lived in a constant state of fear.
And that’s when I started therapy with Peter.
Peter is a short, kind Scottish man with over 20 years of experience as a therapist. During our first session, I took a trauma assessment. I scored in the 99th percentile. That result shocked me—I had already been in therapy for 10 years.
Peter told me the road ahead would be tough but doable. I decided to go all in and not quit like I had so many times before.
EMDR Isn’t Magic—But It Feels Like It
EMDR isn’t magic, but the results often felt magical.
As I stuck with it, the emotional releases became deeper. And real, lasting change began to take root. But progress didn’t come without cost. One particularly intense session left me with a three-day emotional hangover. I had to call out of work because I was mentally scrambled.
Still, I kept showing up. Week after week. And slowly, a tectonic shift happened in my mind. It felt like my brain was recalibrating—awakening to a new world that wasn’t jagged, frightening, or filled with constant danger.
A Life Reclaimed
After nine months of therapy with Peter, I emerged with something I didn’t know I could have—a life I wanted to live.
I no longer feel overwhelmed in public. A barking dog doesn’t sound like a shotgun. The world isn’t a threat anymore. It’s an adventure, and I get to choose how I respond.
My PTSD no longer rules me.
From Fractured to Whole
EMDR helped me come back to the world—from fractured and splintered to whole.
If you’re a patient or therapist with experience in EMDR, I’d love to hear your story.

How To Increase the Density of Change in Your Life
In the past five years, my life has changed so much. I went from being nearly disabled to working two jobs, getting in great shape, and staying sober from all my vices.
Here’s how I was able to change so quickly—and how you can increase the density of change in your own life.
It started by treating my trauma.
Before meeting my therapist Ashley, I was, as she put it, a “hot mess.” I was so beat down and at the end of my rope, I didn’t think I could get through one more day. Then she said something that gave me hope.
In a clear, confident voice, she told me, “I can help you.”
And she did. It took a year and a half of meeting with her twice a week, but I healed. That’s the first piece of the change puzzle: healing yourself through therapy.
The next piece is sobriety.
For me, I had to treat my trauma before I could even attempt to get sober. But once I resolved what was driving me to use, staying sober became much easier.
Getting sober is both wonderful and awful.
It’s wonderful because you transform into a different person.
It’s awful because that transformation isn’t free.
It costs you your old life. It costs discomfort. And you have to come face to face with the person addiction turned you into.
In the past 8 months, I’ve made more progress than any other time in my life—even more than when I was deep in therapy. Sobriety accelerates everything.
The final piece to this puzzle is discipline.
I believe if you treat your trauma and get sober, discipline becomes a natural byproduct. You’ll have so much more mental and physical energy that you’ll naturally start moving toward the things you’ve been putting off.
For me, that thing was writing.
I’ve always loved writing, but trauma and addiction stole it away.
Put it down a deep, dark well—until I almost forgot it was even there.
Now that I’m clear, discipline is simply the next logical step.
If you want to change your life—and change it fast—start by setting up an appointment with a therapist.
It may seem daunting, but trust me: you won’t regret it.
It’s the reason I’m still here today.
Have you been through something similar? I’d love to hear how change has shown up in your life.
Hope everyone’s having a great Saturday.
Enjoy your weekend—and I’ll see you here tomorrow.
