Explore how EMDR therapy can help heal deep psychological trauma with psychiatric nurse practitioner and EMDR expert Susan Sullivan. In this episode of The Smartest Doctor In The Room, host Dr Dean Mitchell talks with Susan about her unique path from trauma intensive care nursing to advanced work in psychiatry and psychotherapy.

Susan explains what EMDR really is, how adaptive information processing works in the brain, and why EMDR can be so powerful for people who feel stuck after years of traditional talk therapy. She shares how EMDR intensives differ from weekly sessions, and why careful preparation, parts work, and attachment focused support are essential for complex PTSD and childhood trauma.

You will also hear how somatic practices, vagus nerve regulation, and nervous system education help patients understand what their bodies are trying to say and finally move toward healing. If you have ever wondered whether EMDR is right for you or how to find a properly trained EMDR therapist, this conversation offers clear, compassionate guidance.
