His first book, The Courage to Feel: A Practical Guide to the Power and Freedom of Emotional Honesty, was published in 2008. He has authored a chapter in EMDR Solutions on the use of EMDR with clients with intellectual disability and coauthored an article on the same topic in 2011 for the Journal of EMDR Practice and Research.
