In this powerful episode, we delve into how Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can aid in processing invisible grief—the quiet, unspoken losses that often go unacknowledged by society. From the heartbreak of estrangement, infertility, death, and ambiguous goodbyes to the mourning of lost futures or identities, invisible grief can deeply affect our emotional well-being without clear closure.
Joined by EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Approved Consultant, Dr. Arielle Jordan, LPC, NCC, we unpack how this evidence-based therapy helps rewire the brain’s response to unresolved pain and bring healing where words alone often fall short. You will hear real-life insights, common misconceptions about EMDR, and why it's gaining traction as a powerful tool for addressing the grief that hides in plain sight.
Whether you are carrying silent sorrow or supporting someone who is, this episode offers understanding, hope, and a path forward.
