Facing Trauma And Healing Through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy
On this moving and informative episode of Talks with Dr Shafer, Dr. Shafer interviews Adalina East, a neuroscientist, therapist, and transformational healer, about EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. Adalina shares her personal experience with trauma and how she found healing through various modalities, including EMDR. They discuss the importance of finding the right therapy modality for each individual and the need for elevated advocacy to ensure access to effective treatments. Adalina guides Dr. Shafer through a brief EMDR session, focusing on a specific memory and using a safe place chosen by Dr Shafer (an airplane flying away) as a resource. Dr. Shafer experiences a sense of calm and happiness during the session as she copes with continuing to return to the traumatic location and embrace the accompanying sensations and thoughts associated with that memory. Through the use of EMDR therapy, Adalina helps Dr. Shafer process her emotions and physical sensations associated with the traumatic event. They work on releasing the fear and tightness in her body and implanting new beliefs of resilience and worthiness. Dr. Shafer experiences a sense of peace and growth , and hopes that others interested in learning more about EMDR therapy may find today’s episode to be helpful and healing.
