I'm so happy to share this conversation to shed some light on another tool for your mental wellness toolkit. EMDR is an evidence-based, memory-focused trauma treatment, which Michael Baldwin says saved his life. This revolutionary method can yield significant progress in just a single session, compared to years of talk therapy.

Baldwin instigated a collaboration with renowned trauma therapist Deborah Korn, PsyD, on an eye-catching, inspirational book on EMDR, Every Memory Deserves Respect—his way of throwing a lifeline to other trauma survivors. EMDR has become a go-to treatment for PTSD as well as depression and other stress-related disorders.

WE COVERED:

• The scope of trauma, from "little t" to "Big T" and how it can go unrecognized for decades- everything from a bad breakup to physical abuse can create an emotional wound that will eventually need healing
• The mind is wired to heal emotional trauma in the same way the body is wired to heal us physically, once we have the right tools in place
• How EMDR differs from other types of therapy
• What a typical EMDR session feels like
• Who is a good candidate for EMDR
