In this episode, Nicole and Alanna are joined by Lauren Berberich, a mental health professional in Alaska, about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). We discuss how this form of therapy can help people with issues as "small" as getting over feelings of low self-esteem, to healing "massive" issues such as PTSD and the severe physical/emotional symptoms that come along with a intensely triggering experience.
Listen as Lauren discusses how EMDR therapy works, how many sessions are typically needed, and her real-life examples of cases in which this form of therapy has worked (note: Not all cases are human!) Also, Alanna brainstorms on some examples she feels this therapy could be helpful with! Do you have any more to add?
As you listen through this episode, you can actually hear the excitement and intrigue from Nicole and Alanna – who now both want to try this form of therapy to help them process their chronic illness and medical trauma. Who can relate?!
