In this episode, I’m joined by  Amy Thompson, LPC and we dive deep into the world of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy — a powerful approach designed to help the brain heal from trauma. Together, we explore how trauma manifests uniquely in each person,  the innerworkings of EMDR, and how this therapy can promote long-term emotional recovery.Amy sheds light on what clients can expect in sessions and how self-awareness and self-care play vital roles in the healing journey. She also tackles common misconceptions, clarifying that EMDR is not a quick fix but a gradual, deeply transformative process that unfolds over intentional time targeting traumatic experiences.  The conversation underscores the importance of finding the right therapist and how integrating EMDR with traditional talk therapy can lead to a more holistic and sustainable approach to mental wellness.Recommended Books:The Body Keeps The ScoreI'd love to hear from you!
