Episode 7 – Understanding Trauma, EMDR, and the Power of the Body with Stephanie Smith
In this episode of A Light Forward Podcast we sit down with Stephanie Smith a licensed therapist and trauma specialist for a deep dive into the world of trauma and healing.
We break down what trauma really is, the difference between “big T” and “little t” trauma and why two people can experience the same event but respond in completely different ways.
Stephanie also unpacks EMDR - what it is, how it works and why it’s such a powerful tool for processing traumatic memories. Plus, we explore somatic therapy the connection between the mind and body and the important role of the vagus nerve in regulating our nervous system.
If you’ve ever wondered why trauma lingers in the body or how healing modalities can help release it, this episode offers insight and hope for anyone on their journey toward wholeness.
