Episode Synopsis


Adam and Milt discuss the meaning of trauma-informed care. Adam talks about the “trauma narrative” and how we all have one—to some extent—going back to childhood. This informs our personality and patterns of thinking and behaviors. Also, Adam discusses individual values and beliefs and the difference between thinking about changing your actions versus acting to change your thinking. And finally, the topic of Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is broached. EMDR is a form of psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro in the 1990s.
