Let's Talk EMDR

Using EMDR Therapy for High-Stress Professions


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into the power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an innovative approach to transforming how professionals in high-stress careers cope with trauma and emotional strain. From first responders and healthcare workers to corporate leaders and military personnel, those in high-pressure jobs often carry a heavy emotional burden. EMDR has been shown to effectively reduce the lasting impact of traumatic experiences, helping individuals process and heal from stress-related trauma.

Our guest, EMDR Certified Therapist, and Consultant Christopher Brown, LCSW,  shares insights on how this technique works, why it’s especially beneficial for those in high-stress professions, and how it can help individuals build resilience, improve mental health, and enhance performance. Whether in a demanding career or simply looking for ways to manage stress more effectively, this episode offers valuable tips on maintaining mental wellness in today’s fast-paced world. Tune in to learn how EMDR could be the key to unlocking a healthier, more balanced mindset.
