MEET JANE
EMDR THERAPIST, AUTHOR
SPEAKER, COACH
& FILMMAKER
Jane Garnett, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, is an Oxford-educated Speaker, EMDR Coach, depth psychologist, and filmmaker who helps individuals and organizations GET UNSTUCK, reclaiming authorship, agency, and embodied leadership.
Jane has spent two decades as a Marriage and Family therapist, while also exploring the outer reaches of healing to find out what actually helps people. Jane learned that people don’t just need permission to tell their stories, they need to discharge old narratives and embody new experiences. Jane also trains and supervises emerging therapists and healers.
Jane’s power tool of choice is Attachment-focused EMDR — a healing technology that marries psychotherapy, somatic release and imagination. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to facilitate the release of a range of traumas, from “big T” traumas to stuck relationship patterns through to creative blocks. EMDR travels deep into the nervous system, liberating old patterns that no longer serve, and creating new energy and more space to author and incarnate our best potentials.

We often live as if we are supporting characters in someone else’s story—meeting expectations, maintaining roles, and trying to live up to narratives we didn’t consciously choose.
In this keynote, Jane Garnett introduces her signature framework: “We Are the Movie.” Drawing from her unique background in film and psychotherapy, she shows how the narratives we inherit shape our choices, relationships, and sense of possibility.
Through vivid examples and psychological insight, this talk explores how people can step out of unconscious roles and reclaim authorship of their lives. When we recognize that we are not just characters but also the writers and directors of our story, new possibilities for creativity, agency, and transformation emerge.

We all want to live as who we truly are, yet cultural expectations and inherited rules often leave us performing roles that don’t feel like our own. After a decade in Hollywood and more than twenty years as a therapist, Jane Garnett has seen how people try to resolve this tension—by blowing up their lives, living double lives, or quietly numbing out. In this keynote, she challenges the idea that your life has to “work out” like a Hollywood story and offers a simple two-step filter—resonance and responsibility—to help people leave inherited scripts behind and make choices that lead to a life that finally makes send to them.

3. The Erotic Now
Presence, Aliveness, and the Power of Being Fully Here
In modern culture, the word erotic is often reduced to sexuality. But in its deeper sense, the erotic refers to something far more fundamental: the experience of aliveness.
In this keynote, Jane Garnett explores the connection between presence, creativity, and what she calls the erotic quality of being fully alive in the present moment. Drawing from psychology, somatic work, and philosophy, she examines how our culture of constant striving and distraction disconnects us from this vitality.
When we learn to inhabit the present moment more fully—rather than chasing the next achievement or outcome—we rediscover a deeper source of energy, creativity, and connection.
This talk invites audiences to reconsider presence not as a soft skill, but as an incarnation of spirit — a powerful force for leadership, creativity, and meaningful living.
