It's Not About the Alcohol

Ep99 | How EMDR therapy works to heal your trauma response-with Shelby John


Listen Later

What do you do when it feels like your life is falling apart and your best efforts to practice self-care aren’t enough?

 

Feeling out of control is so frustrating…especially when you’re doing all the right things. You know you’re in a trauma response but you can’t pull out on your own. 

 

You’re nagging at your people, dropping the ball, and beating yourself up for not being able to snap out of it. Emotional dysregulation threatens your marriage, your career and reduces your quality of life. 

 

My guest is Shelby John, EMDR certified therapist and host of the Confident Sober Women podcast. In this episode, you’ll hear:

 

  • Shelby’s story of rock bottom when she was arrested at a professional conference in front of her peers

  • What she’s learned about “sober bottoms” after 21 years of recovery

  • How EMDR works with the nervous system to clear trauma

  • Where to find an EMDR therapist when your ready
