Today's episode is the second part of our interview with licensed therapist Randi Gray on Somatic Experiencing and EMDR work in trauma recovery.

At the end of 2020 we had a WORTH member come on the podcast and share how Somatic Experiencing helped her in her healing recovery.  This week we have Licensed therapist Randi Gray LCP, NCC on the podcast to discuss how Somatic Experiencing and EMDR can bring your recovery to the next level.

Randi explains that Somatic Experiencing focuses on resolving fight flight and freeze responses that can sometimes can get trapped in our body during the initial traumatic experience.  This type of therapy allows for the completion of those self protective responses and release that energy, helping us move forward and take us to the next level of healing.
