Podcasts about emdr

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a recognized and effective treatment for postpartum PTSD, particularly when related to a traumatic birth experience. EMDR helps individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the associated distress, allowing for a more adaptive way of remembering the event. On Aug 4, 2025, a new publication was released in AJOG pertaining to this therapy. What's this latest randomized controlled trial data saying? Listen in for details.     1.

Over the next month, I'll be sharing encore episodes of the podcast - conversations that remain just as relevant and impactful today. New episodes will be back in September!  This week's encore episode features fan-favorite Dr. Amelia Kelley, and we're digging into what gaslighting really is, how it shows up in our lives, and how we start to heal from it.

Dr. Kelley is a trauma-informed therapist, researcher, and author whose work centers on women's issues, relationship trauma, adult ADHD, and empowering survivors of abuse.

What you'll hear about in this episode: The misconception of gaslighting: what it is and what it isn't  The effects of gaslighting on a victim's mental health  Dr. Kelley addresses the question, “Is lying gaslighting?”  You cannot heal from trauma that you are still experiencing  The steps to overcome and heal from gaslighting include becoming aware, getting outside feedback, and boundary setting  What self-care looks like during the healing process  Self-regulation for chronic stress when being emotionally abused  Learn more about Dr. Amelia Kelley: Dr. Amelia Kelley is a trauma-informed therapist who has conducted research on the effects of exercise on adult ADHD symptoms as well as the effects of resiliency on PTSD.

Alexis grew up in the shadows of neglect and abuse, with a stepmother whose control didn't end when she left home at 17. Even from a distance, the stalking and manipulation continued — a relentless effort to keep Alexis under her thumb. But Alexis fought back in the quietest, most powerful way: by healing. Through somatic therapy and EMDR, she's learning to calm her nervous system, reclaim her sense of safety, and rebuild trust in herself. Her journey hasn't been easy — but it's given her a sharp clarity. She now recognizes the red flags, holds her boundaries, and protects the peace she fought so hard to find. Today, Alexis is here to share her story — not just to speak her truth, but to let others know they're not alone.**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains graphics depictions of physical violence.

In this transformative episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Lorne Brown welcomes Eli Recht—a psychotherapist, EMDR clinician, and teacher of self-realization—for a heartfelt and grounded conversation on spiritual awakening and the path to inner peace. Eli shares his personal journey from anxiety and depression to a sustained state of presence, and offers insight into how releasing trapped emotional energy can lead to profound healing, peace, and purpose. This is an episode for anyone on the path to healing—whether or not fertility is the goal.Key Takeaways:Awakening is not about adding something new—it's about removing what's in the way of recognizing your true nature.Releasing trapped emotions is essential for dissolving ego-based suffering and accessing peace.The ego is not the enemy—it's a tool that becomes helpful once it no longer runs the show.True healing often requires both "top-down" (mind) and "bottom-up" (body) approaches.Peace, purpose, and presence are available when we learn to stop identifying with our suffering.Eli Recht's Bio:Eli Recht is a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT), EMDR clinician, spiritual counselor, and teacher of Self-realization based in Carlsbad, California.

Send us a textWhat happens when you combine military experience, personal recovery, cutting-edge trauma therapies, and the healing power of nature? Beau Laviolette's remarkable journey answers this question through a story of transformation and purpose.From the sugar cane fields of Louisiana to the Marine Corps and back again, Beau's path wasn't straightforward. After military service ended unexpectedly due to seizures, he faced addiction struggles that eventually led him to recovery and a calling to help others. This deeply personal experience became the foundation for his approach to trauma healing, combining Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy using the Syzyge method.Beau takes us through his discovery of these powerful modalities and how they complement each other, particularly when working with complex trauma. While EMDR helps process traumatic memories, IFS provides the framework to understand the protective parts of ourselves that develop in response to trauma. This combination creates a comprehensive approach that addresses both neurobiological and psychological aspects of trauma recovery.The conversation ventures into fascinating territory as Beau describes his veteran-focused nature retreats. These immersive experiences take healing beyond the constraints of office therapy, allowing veterans to "unplug, connect, and let go" in natural settings. He explains how nature inherently contains qualities that facilitate access to what IFS calls "self-energy" – our core self characterized by compassion, curiosity, and calm.Developing Meaning is NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY INSTITUTIONS and is NOT INTENDED AS MEDICAL ADVICE.Theme Music by The Thrashing Skumz.Produced by Dirk Winter MD PhD and brought to you by Consilient Mind LLC.

In this episode of Empowered through Compassion, we dive into the heart of relational healing with Maureen Kelleher and Christina O'Reilly—two dynamic Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists who specialize in EMDR intensives for couples. With decades of experience, they offer a trauma-informed, attachment-centered approach that helps partners not only heal past wounds, but also rediscover one another through deeper empathy and connection. Founders of Fairfax Integrative Therapy in Virginia, Maureen and Christina are also trainers, supervisors, and leaders in the field of relational EMDR. Their approach blends Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic awareness, and powerful EMDR protocols to create transformation in relationships marked by high conflict, trauma, or disconnection. Learn more about their work at fairfaxintegrativetherapy.com. Together, we explore how EMDR can move beyond the individual and become a shared journey—one where partners witness each other's pain with compassion, and where Self energy becomes the foundation for healing. You'll hear how Phase 1 and 2 of EMDR lay the groundwork for accessing Self energy, and how couples can learn to "interweave" support in the therapy room—holding space, offering presence, and becoming co-regulators in each other's healing. This episode is packed with clinical insight, heart, and practical takeaways. Whether you're a therapist curious about EMDR with couples, or a partner longing to heal through connection, this conversation will leave you hopeful about what's possible.

Medical trauma can cause PTSD, with signs like fear of doctors, flashbacks, anxiety, avoidance, panic attacks, and emotional numbness after medical experiences.

Signs of PTSD from medical trauma include persistent fear of hospitals, panic attacks during medical visits, nightmares about past procedures, and emotional detachment. Medical trauma symptoms and signs can also involve hypervigilance, irritability, avoidance of necessary care, and distrust of healthcare providers. Some people may experience physical symptoms like racing heart, nausea, or dizziness when reminded of their trauma. Others might struggle with depression, anxiety, or feelings of helplessness related to their medical experiences. PTSD from medical trauma can develop after surgeries, ICU stays, childbirth complications, invasive procedures, or medical negligence. Recognizing the signs of PTSD and medical trauma symptoms early can help prevent long-term emotional suffering. Treatment often includes trauma-focused therapy, EMDR, or somatic therapies designed to help the body and mind heal from overwhelming experiences. Understanding that medical trauma is real and valid is the first step toward recovery. Looking for affordable online counseling?

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk has become a go-to book for understanding trauma, but not everyone agrees with its approach. In this episode, journalist and author of Acceptance: A Memoir, Emi Nietfeld joins us to talk about The Body Keeps the Score and how it influenced the world of trauma therapy. Bringing both her personal experience and sharp insight to the table, she enlightens us on trauma treatment and why popular narratives around resilience and recovery often miss the mark, especially when they lean more on storytelling than science.We get into where the book falls short, especially around science and why proven methods like CBT and prolonged exposure therapy deserve more attention. Emi also opens up about how those treatments personally changed her life.It's an honest look at trauma, what really works, and how we can do better, both personally and as a society.Listen and Learn:Why true resilience isn't about toughness alone but about community, care, and real support systemsHow the mental health system often fails kids by ignoring family dysfunction and why real change starts with seeing the full context, not just labeling the childWhy positive thinking isn't enough for trauma recovery and how validating, supportive therapy makes all the difference when you're ready to speak your truthAvoiding trauma memories in therapy can cause more harm and what effective healing requiresHow popular trauma books like “The Body Keeps the Score” can fuel shameChallenging the "addicted to trauma" label and how oversimplified narratives can stigmatize survivors and ignore systemic causes of violenceHow trauma research can be misrepresented, especially about cognitive behavioral therapy's real effectivenessUsing structured prolonged exposure therapy to help you safely face trauma and build resilienceWriting a memoir can unearth painful truths, but honest storytelling sparks real healing and self-acceptanceWhy popular trauma books feel like belief systems—and why we need solutions beyond therapyResources: Emi's Book Acceptance: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593489499 Emi's website https://www.eminietfeld.com/ and her Substack https://eminietfeld.substack.com/ Connect with Emi on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/emi-nietfeld/ and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/eminietfeld/ Mother Jones article: https://www.motherjones.com/media/2024/12/trauma-body-keeps-the-score-van-der-kolk-psychology-therapy-ptsd/ Slate article: https://slate.com/technology/2024/08/sexual-assault-treatment-talk-therapy-prolonged-exposure-recovery.htmlArticle mentioned on trauma theory as a belief system: https://beiner.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-trauma-bessel-vanAbout Emi NietfieldEmi Nietfeld is an author, journalist, and speaker.

Are therapists still thriving in private practice in this economy? In this episode, I sit down with Courtney Fyvolent, a trauma-informed EMDR and EFT specialist who successfully relocated her practice from Florida to South Carolina and built a full, private-pay caseload in the process. We talk about how she did it without relying on social media ads, what mindset shifts helped her stay the course during slow seasons, and why her clinical focus became her greatest marketing tool. From ranking on Google through DIY SEO to forming authentic referral relationships over coffee, Courtney shares the steps that actually worked and what didn't. If you're a therapist wondering how to grow (or rebuild) your caseload without burning out, or if you're craving more depth and connection in the way you work, this episode will give you both strategy and inspiration. You'll walk away feeling empowered that yes, you can build the practice you want, even in a saturated market. Topics Covered In This Episode: 5:15 – The exact steps Courtney took before moving states that made all the difference 7:12 – The surprising key to referrals that doesn't involve networking events or cold DMs 8:27 – Why intensives aren't her biggest income driver—and what actually is 10:08 – What to focus on when the phone stops ringing 11:42 – The retention method therapists rarely talk about but desperately need 13:21 – The small action that gets clients calling back months (or even years) later 17:52 – Why your consultation call may be the real make-or-break for your business   I hope you let Courtney's story and grounded strategy give you the clarity, confidence, and spark you need to grow your own thriving business.

Medications, EMDR, or talk therapy not working on your mental health issues? Perhaps Exomind is something to consider. I saw Michelle Fuhr from Health 419 on with Tony Geftos a few weeks ago. As someone who tried something similar years ago, I had many questions for her. First, it's probably not recovery, but a friend made a good point. It, while very unlikely, could happen again.

We present our review of Black Mirror season 7!Season 7 of Black Mirror feels like a return to form—but it's not a step backwards. What we get here is a fusion: the show reclaims its original soul as a commentary on technology and society, while folding in the emotional depth and genre range introduced in Season 6.This season doesn't abandon experimentation—but now, it's anchored. Each episode is either built around a speculative piece of future tech or aimed squarely at how that tech refracts our behavior. The emotional core? Still there. But it's no longer floating in genre drift. It's grounded in editorial intent.Critics are picking up on this shift. The Guardian calls it the “warmest, most human season ever,” but still sees it as “thrilling satire.” Rotten Tomatoes and The Ringer both point to a return to “dystopian sci-fi” and say Brooker “was listening” after Season 6's detour. Even Tom's Guide praises the way Season 7 hits harder—calling episodes like Common People and Eulogy some of the show's most emotional yet.The balance is back. Technology is no longer just a backdrop or a gimmick. It's the central metaphor again. And Brooker—now more curator than sole voice—lets the anthology breathe without losing grip on the message.Black Mirror Season 7 finally answers the question Season 6 left hanging: Can this show evolve without losing itself?The answer is yes. Because this time, the tech doesn't just twist the plot—it reveals the truth.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

In this episode, I had the joy of coaching Lauren Kretzmer, a licensed therapist stepping boldly into the world of coaching. She brings with her years of experience, a powerful methodology that integrates EMDR, hypnosis, and deep emotional rewiring, and a heart full of desire to serve. Lauren came with two questions: “How do I find clients for my coaching?” and “Should I start a podcast?” What unfolded was a deeply practical, soul-centered conversation about the power of starting small, serving personally, and letting your voice lead the way. Together, we explored why you don't need a funnel, a big following, or a polished plan to grow a thriving business. We talked about: The hidden gold in her first summit (and how to turn 79 email subscribers into 79 conversations) How to connect one-on-one with potential clients in ways that feel aligned and human Why podcasting is a powerful outlet for those who can't not speak their message Overcoming the fear of “doing it wrong” and instead letting your soul sing The tech, tools, and mindset you actually need to launch a podcast… by this weekend If you've been wondering how to build your coaching business with heart, authenticity, and zero pressure, this one's for you. The Path Forward: Start small. Start real. Start now. Lauren's Podcast Has Successfully Launched Hi Cliff! This is Lauren. We met together live on your youtube Thursday July 17th.

Hijacked by Stress: Reclaiming Your Peace with Scott Doniger

In this episode, the Agony Aunties address a question about dealing with health anxiety, which started during pregnancy and has persisted for six years. The discussion covers various aspects, including the role of different therapies such as art therapy and somatic EMDR, understanding the impact of early childhood trauma, and how physiological changes after childbirth can amplify fear and anxiety. The Agony Aunties emphasise the importance of awareness, self-compassion, and having open, honest conversations with therapists to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy. They also highlight that change and healing are gradual processes that can't erase past experiences but can help in developing a more compassionate relationship with oneself.

What if the thing you've been trying to fix your whole life isn't actually the thing that needs fixing? At 38, Patty Cabot began a journey that would unravel decades of emotional pain, body image struggles, and silence surrounding childhood trauma. In this raw and inspiring conversation, Patty shares how deep inner work—not dieting—finally brought her peace, perspective, and a surprising path to love. If you've ever felt stuck or wondered why certain patterns keep repeating, this episode offers powerful insight into healing, self-trust, and reclaiming your story.Guest Bio Beginning in her teens, Patty Cabot battled drastic weight fluctuations. Desperate to break the cycle and thinking it was what prevented her from meeting men, in her late 30s Patty embarked on a therapeutic journey that led to her unresolved childhood sexual abuse. Over 12 years she worked with her therapist and EMDR, a chiropractor to release trapped “fight or flight” responses, a sex therapist and attended group therapy for sexual abuse. Patty published Not That Girl Anymore, a memoir about the alternative therapies she explored in the hopes of undoing the ruin within to claim the happiness she – and everyone else struggling with trauma – deserves.Turning 40 and finding the wound beneath the weightWhat if the thing you've been battling for decades - your weight, your relationships, your shame - was never the real issue? This week's guest, Patty Cabot, spent 20 years trapped in a cycle of yo-yo dieting, self-doubt, and emotional isolation before a turning point at 38 led her to finally confront the childhood trauma she thought she had long since buried and forgotten about. Through therapy, unconventional healing modalities, and a fierce determination to find love and wholeness, Patty transformed her life from the inside out. In this episode, you'll hear about:*Trigger warning* discussion of childhood sexual abuse; no detailsHow a cycle of weight loss and gain led Patty to uncover deeper unresolved traumaThe transformative power of EMDR therapy and what it taught her about her pastWhy anger was the only emotion she could access, and how she learned to feel moreHow vulnerability became a gateway to healing and connectionThe role running (literally!) played in finding love and confidenceWhy publishing her book helped lift the final layer of shameThe profound insight: “it's not your shame, and it's not your secret to keep”Patty Cabot's midlife transition is a powerful example of what's possible when we stop treating the symptom and start addressing the root cause. After decades of believing her weight and romantic struggles were the problem, Patty finally faced her childhood trauma head-on, peeling back the layers of self-protection to rediscover her worth and capacity for love. Her healing wasn't linear, but it was bold, and in the process, she transformed shame into self-acceptance and silence into storytelling. Today, she's helping others believe that healing is not only possible—it's worth it.If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, follow, and share The Big Four Oh wherever you listen to podcasts.

We talk about the movie Heretic.NOTE: If you have not seen the movie and don't want spoilers, wait.  If you want to watch it, but don't like horror movies, I can tell you safely that the first hour is just discussion and debate. Intense and dramatic. But the horror part is only the second half. It's very evenly split, if you wanted to watch just the first part of the movie. You can watch it until both the girls open the doors (no jump scare there), then stop if you don't want the rest.Our website is HERE:  System Speak Podcast.You can submit an email to the podcast HERE.You can JOIN THE COMMUNITY HERE.  Once you are in, you can use a non-Apple device or non-safari browser to join groups HERE.
