In this episode I sit down with Mark Brayne, an EMDR Europe Accredited and EMDRIA-approved Consultant, workshop leader, specialising in transpersonal, integrative EMDR with a particular focus on early life attachment and formative experience. Mark had an Aspergers diagnosis later in life and he works with clients to heal the past.
It is a big and juicy conversation. We talk about
- where is the line between neurodiversity and trauma, or is there even a line at all?
- the human species in its quest for survival - will it make it or is it set to implode (the clue might be in the word "survival")
- the pros and the cons of a diagnosis - what is the answer?
- the formation of a human and how we grow to see ourselves in the world. To label or not to label?
And much, much more.
Mark was a journalist for 30 years, gained his Masters in Transpersonal Psychotherapy in 2000, was the Founding Director of the Dart Centre Europe for Journalism and Trauma and was also a Board member of the European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.
For the past 25 years, Mark has contributed workshops and keynote addresses to conferences including the ISTSS and ESTSS, the BACP, the EMDR Associating UK and the Parnell Institute US. He is a lead trainer in EMDR, AF-EMDR and AI-EMDR globally.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
