Trauma Therapist | Author | Speaker | Creator of the Self-Trust Model™

Emily Romero is a longtime trauma therapist turned author, speaker, and creator of The Self-Trust Model™. She began her career as a therapist in 2010 and founded her private practice, Curiosity Rising, in 2019. With a passion for holistic and integrative approaches, she specialized in supporting people through complex trauma and anxiety, drawing from somatics, parts work, psychedelic therapy, and mindfulness-based practices.

Through her work with The Self-Trust Model™, Emily empowers women to move beyond self-doubt, overthinking, and insecurity so they can feel confident pursuing their biggest dreams. She now offers training and certification programs for practitioners who want to bring the model into their own work.

Emily is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) with advanced training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy & Integration. She is also a certified yoga teacher and Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method facilitator. These diverse modalities ground her teaching in both science and embodied practice.

She is the host of The Self-Trust Podcast and the author of two books, including her newest release: You Can Trust Yourself. Whether through her writing, teaching, or speaking, Emily’s mission is to help people reclaim self-trust as the foundation for healing and growth.
