Dr. Jamie Marich Biography
Dr. Jamie Marich (she/they) describes herself as a facilitator of transformative experiences. A clinical trauma specialist, expressive artist, writer, performer, short filmmaker, Reiki master, TEDx speaker, and recovery advocate, she unites all of these elements in her mission to inspire healing in others. She is a woman in long-term recovery from an addictive disorder and is living loudly and proudly as a woman with a dissociative disorder with the goal of smashing stigma about dissociation in the mental health field and in society at large. Marich began her career as a humanitarian aid worker in Bosnia-Hercegovina from 2000-2003, primarily teaching English and music. Marich travels internationally teaching on topics related to trauma, EMDR therapy, expressive arts, mindfulness, and yoga, while maintaining a private practice and online education operations in her home base of Akron, OH.
Marich is the founder of the Institute for Creative Mindfulness and the developer of the Dancing Mindfulness approach to expressive arts therapy. She is the developer of Yoga for Clinicians. Marich is the author of "EMDR Made Simple: 4 Approaches for Using EMDR with Every Client" (2011), "Trauma and the Twelve Steps: A Complete Guide for Recovery Enhancement" (2012), "Creative Mindfulness (2013), Trauma Made Simple: Competencies in Assessment, Treatment, and Working with Survivors", "Dancing Mindfulness: A Creative Path to Healing and Transformation (2015)", and "Process Not Perfection: Expressive Arts Solutions for Trauma Recovery" (2019).
Marich co-authored "EMDR Therapy & Mindfulness" for Trauma-Focused Care along with colleague Dr. Stephen Dansiger in 2018, and their new book with Springer Publishing "Healing Addiction with EMDR Therapy": A Trauma-Focused Guide released in 2021. North Atlantic Books published a revised and expanded edition of "Trauma and the 12 Steps" in the Summer of 2020, and they released The "Healing Power of Jiu-Jitsu: A Guide to Transforming Trauma and Facilitating Recovery" in 2022.
Her latest release with North Atlantic Book, "Dissociation Made Simple: A Stigma-Free Guide to Embracing Your Dissociative Mind and Navigating Life" came out in January 2023. She has several more projects in the works with North Atlantic Books, including a memoir about her own spiritual abuse recovery journey growing up with one Catholic and one Evangelical parent.
The New York Times featured Marich’s writing and work on Dancing Mindfulness in 2017 and 2020. NALGAP: The Association of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Addiction Professionals and Their Allies awarded Marich with their esteemed President’s Award in 2015 for her work as an LGBT advocate. The EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) granted Marich the 2019 Advocacy in EMDR Award for her using her public platform in media and in the addiction field to advance awareness about EMDR therapy and to reduce stigma around mental health. Marich formerly sat on the clinical workgroup of EMDRIA’s Council of Scholars, and currently sits on the editorial board of the Journal of EMDR Practice and Research.

Dr. Jamie Marich Speaking Topics
Because of media misrepresentation and sensationalism, dissociative disorders (especially dissociative identity disorder-DID) are widely misunderstood by members of society and even by the mental health field. Dr. Jamie Marich, one of the few clinical professional leaders who is "out" about her own dissociative disorder gives you an insider’s view to understanding dissociation, separating fact from fiction, and addressing modern controversies like the impact of social media on people self-diagnosing with DID.
Dr. Jamie helps audiences understand that having a dissociative disorder does not have to be a crippling life sentence of shame as it relates to one’s mental health. Dissociation is a superpower and more and more people in the "plural" community, as they are coming to call themselves, are seeing it as such. Let Dr. Jamie be your guide as she answers everything you’ve ever wanted to know about dissociation but were afraid to ask.
In its most basic definition, the English word trauma comes from the Greek word meaning wound. With more attention being paid to the impact of trauma and diagnosed issues like PTSD, there can also be a great deal of confusion about what trauma is and what trauma is not.
Dr. Jamie explores trauma and its impact on a variety of human conditions like addiction, other mental health issues, injustice, and social unrest, skillfully crafting the presentation to the needs of the audience. After exploring the problems caused by unhealed trauma, she always transitions into exploring solutions for healing.
Dr. Jamie is over twenty years sober from drugs and alcohol, having gotten sober at the age of 23. She is able to speak with any audience focusing on more of the personal aspect of her story and/or weaving in her experience as a clinical professional.
Dr. Jamie, widely known for her book "Trauma and the 12 Steps", is a master at bridging the gap between traditional approaches to addiction recovery like the 12-steps with more trauma-responsive innovations in recovery. Dr. Jamie has a wide array of experiences speaking at recovery conferences, to people seeking recovery, and to their family and loved ones.
The experiences of bisexual individuals often get left out of larger discussions about LGBTQ+ issues, even though bisexual individuals experience suicidal ideations and mental health struggles at higher degrees of prevalence than their gay or lesbian peers.
Dr. Jamie explains the struggles that bisexuals encounter leading to their own unique set of mental health concerns, largely resulting from the phenomenon of having to live with a foot in both worlds—feeling too queer for the heteronormativity of “straight” society, yet often labels as not “queer” enough by others in the LGBTQ+ community because of issues like passing privilege.
Dr. Jamie is always willing to share from her personal and professional experience both on this issue.
Spiritual abuse is whenever God (or any other spiritual construct like Enlightenment) is used to wield power and control over others. Spiritual abuse happens in the home, in church, house of worship, community or institutional settings, or at the level of the state. Bringing in her own experiences of growing up in two high demand Christian religions and surviving an ashram experience.
Dr. Jamie helps audiences see that spiritual abuse is a legitimate form of trauma and unpacks how its poison is pervasive at every level of American society. This content is essential for audiences who either want to:
- (a) identify the ways in which spiritual trauma has hurt them personally, or
- (b) better understand the impact of Christian Fascism | Christian Supremacy as an increasingly state-sponsored form of spiritual abuse. This issue has especially devastated the LGBTQ+ community and talks of this nature can be given with that specialized focus.
