In this powerful episode, we explore the intersection of trauma, migration, and healing through the lens of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. Our guest, EMDR Certified Therapist and Consultant Liliana Baylon, LMFT-S, RPT-S, an expert in trauma-informed care, discusses how EMDR can help migrants process and overcome the deep psychological scars often associated with displacement, displacement, and the search for a new life. From the harrowing experiences of war and violence to the challenges of resettlement and cultural adaptation, EMDR therapy offers a unique approach to help individuals heal from traumatic memories and rebuild their emotional well-being.

Whether you're a mental health professional, a migrant, or someone simply curious about trauma recovery, this episode provides valuable insights into the healing process for those facing the challenges of global migration.
