WTF is EMDR?


Listen Later

You've heard of EMDR. Maybe your therapist mentioned it, maybe you're on a waitlist for it, maybe you keep seeing it online and wondering if it's actually legit or another wellness trend with good branding.

This episode is the honest, no-shortcuts explanation you've been looking for.

Helen Billows — registered psychologist, EMDR therapist, and EMDR consultant — breaks down what EMDR actually is, how it works neurologically, and what happens in the room during a session. She covers the Adaptive Information Processing model, why trauma memories get stuck in the first place, and what a processed memory actually feels like from the inside.

No finger-waggling mysticism. A clear, evidence-based explanation from someone who does this for a full-time job.

If you're considering EMDR, currently in it, or tired of not understanding what people mean when they talk about trauma processing — start here.
