The episode details how trauma can trigger depression through neurobiological changes, chronic stress responses, negative thought patterns, and social isolation. It then explains the eight phases of EMDR therapy, emphasizing how this treatment can alleviate emotional distress, alter negative beliefs, improve emotional regulation, and equip individuals with coping mechanisms for future stress and trauma.
