⚠️ CONTENT WARNING The following episode includes emotional and trauma-related discussion that may not be suitable for all listeners. Discretion advised.
Kara Kalin is a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified EMDR Therapist, and Founder of Shift Change, an online platform providing on-demand, EMDR-based mental-health support for workplaces and frontline professionals.
In this conversation:
-
The hidden cost of workplace trauma — and how to fix it
-
Why the right brain stores the charge and the left brain runs logic
-
The 90-day window to prevent PTSD from taking root
-
What “suppression culture is dead” really means
-
How EMDR works — and why you can’t heal what you won’t feel
-
A one-minute reset: breath, tap, and remind yourself “I’m safe right now.”
Kara’s mission is simple: make recovery accessible before burnout becomes identity. Because healing isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom.
