EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has become a popular tool for trauma healing, and in this episode Margeaux Groene LPC walks us through the ins and outs of what it is and how this somatic therapy can help unlock your trauma.

This episode lays out examples of the types of issues that you could bring to an EMDR session so that you can put yourself in an imagination station and see if this therapeutic modality might be right for you.

Listen for:

✨ An understanding around what trauma actually is and why it has a bad wrap

✨ A low down on what EMDR is and what you can expect from a session

✨ Why dissociation is a normal part of trauma and how you can widen your window of tolerance to move away from it

✨ How to identify trauma that you may have by looking for heightened responses that aren’t making sense in the context of the situation

✨ Why somatic therapies work to help us with our implicit memories, especially before the age of 5
