If you've ever felt like your mood has a mind of its own during PMS, pregnancy, or perimenopause, you already know that hormones like estrogen and progesterone don't just affect your body — they shape your entire sense of well-being. And if you've lived with trauma or neurodivergence, like ADHD, you also know how reactive the nervous system can be. What happens when all of that collides during midlife and menopause…and hormone therapy gets added to the mix? For some women, the results are anything but balanced. This week's guest, trauma therapist Paula Rastrick, knows that firsthand. She opens up about her harrowing experience with high-dose hormone therapy — an intervention that nearly unraveled her — and shares what she's uncovered about the deep, complex relationship between hormones, nervous system sensitivity, trauma, and stress. Paula Rastrick is a trauma therapist, author and creator of The Brain-Body Method, an integrated trauma-informed and neurodiverse approach to hormonal sensitivity. She is a BSc (Hons) in Sport & Exercise Psychology; has postgraduate certification in Psychological Trauma, Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EDMR) Trauma Therapy, is a Safe and Sound Protocol Practitioner and has training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), pain science, and integrated kinetic neurology. She's also done trauma-informed continuing professional development work in yoga therapy, applied polyvagal theory in yoga, vagus nerve integration, HRV training, performance psychology, and somatic psychology.

In this episode I interview writer and trauma therapist/coach Brooke Bownes, author of the book, 'You can Have It!: How to break through the self-sabotage cycle' (September, 2021). Brooke and I discuss what trauma is, where it comes from, how it manifests or shows itself, and how it can affect us throughout our lives. There are some delicate or sensitive topics discussed in this episode which may serve as a trigger or reminder for some people; identifying with their own trauma. We define the terms and words that are currently being used in this area of work from 'trigger warning' itself to the 'inner child' or 'inner critic'; 'pattern interrupt' or breaking cycles of behaviour, which can be changed with 'reprogramming' activities. We talk about the psychotherapeutic practice of 'EMDR' (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and 'brainspotting'. We also look at breathing techniques which can be used to calm ourselves and at other somatic work with the body, making the connection between various aspects of trauma, which many people think is just in our thoughts or our minds, but which also shows itself in our physical bodies, too. We mention another acronym, PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is often thought of as being associated with having served in the military, or having encountered a serious car accident, or such like. It is now accepted that PTSD can also be associated with other life events such as divorce, the death of a close friend or family member, or with other incidents that leave a lasting effect on our psyche or our mind, soul and spirit and our body. Brooke details the tools and techniques she uses with her clients to help them heal from trauma. Some of them sound very simple and straightforward; others more complex and complicated, but they are all intended to help people lead more confident, happy and fulfilling lives, free from the anxiety of feeling not worthy. As discussed in my previous podcast with Michaela Smith, many of these trauma wounds have their roots in our childhood, but they still have the power to affect us as adults, so they are worth addressing or paying attention to. Brooke has provided a number of resources to help listeners who may themselves, or know someone, who would like to talk about past traumatic events.

In this extended video (unique to my podcast) I go into more detail about how Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) works not only to help people recover from  one-off childhood traumas like abuse but also early experiences you won't remember such as birth and perinatal trauma. I talk about why EMDR works well with birth trauma and other common experiences that cause medically unexplained symptoms like anxiety, heart palpitations, bed-wetting or urinary problems, over or under salivation, facial ticks, etc. I also discuss a real life EMDR case study from one of my recent clients. This is an update to a video I recorded over 2 years ago which unfortunately had rather dodgy sound. So I've re-recorded and taken the chance to add a few new bits of information. Check out my Attachment course mentioned here: https://dr-patricia-worby-alchemy-training.thinkific.com/courses/attachment-trauma**Watch a relevant video**GUIDE TO TAPPING AND HAVENING https://youtu.be/PFr2eDcYE-ITHE GUT BRAIN IS NOT JUST A DIGESTIVE SYSTEM https://youtu.be/Mmo7qW-AuX8HOW CHILDHOOD EMOTIONS STILL AFFECT YOU: https://youtu.be/8LzR8yhR8u8 *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com

What is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprogramming therapy? What could be the mechanism by which its bilateral stimulation relieves the disturbances from trauma? In this episode we have the fascinating technique of EMDR psychotherapy to look into. This is another show, like the Parenting by Connection episode #18, that's close to home, as I personally have had extraordinary results with this method. Developed from the 80's onwards by Francine Shapiro, Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing uses a bilateral brain hemisphere stimulation, similar to the pre-REM sleep state, to lower the physiological reaction in the present, following traumatic experiences in the past. The reason I was so struck by the method and wanted to share the science of it here, is how the model works physiologically on the reprogramming of traumatic memories, with more or less instant results - results that might take years using traditional talky therapies. Why this ‘straight to the point' method works though is still not clear to scientists, so it will be interesting to hear the different theories. Who better to tell us all about it than EMDR therapist ex-president of EMDR Europe and the president of EMDR Italy, Dr. Isabel Fernandez. As well as more than 20 years treating patients with EMDR and training tens thousands of therapists, she sits on several boards of organisations studying science of psychotraumatology, like the Society of Traumatic Stress Studies. She has written various scientific papers, books and chapters on EMDR and trauma too. What we discuss: 00:00 Intro 06:10 Trauma with a big 'T' (threat to life) and a little 't' (interpersonal) 09:20 The risk of a ‘victim' complex, lowering resilience if we focus on even little 't' trauma 10:00 You reach resilience through addressing and integrating trauma  11:20 Our innate ability to process adverse experience information and the overwhelming of that in PTSD  15:30 Bilateral eye movement stimulation helps the completion of our innate memory integration ability 18:25 You do need to remember the memory to work on it, but often it arises by association rather than actively remembering it 21:00 Bilateral stimulation of the left and right hemisphere: visual, sensory and auditory versions 23:00 Pre-Rem Sleep is similar to the EMDR state 26:30 Proved to be faster than other therapies, therefore more cost effective for the state health services 28:15 Its functioning is not yet completely understood: the leading theories  32:40 Iain McGilchrist's left right hemisphere interpretation (See Episode #15)  36:45 A meta analysis - Bilateral stimulation much more effective than non-bilateral stimulation, just therapy  39:30 Adaptive information - 1. Processing of the past 2. De-sensitisation of disturbance the present 3. Imaginal future events  50:15 EMDR for kids with traumatic experiences from 2 years old 51:45 Applications for collective mass trauma: war, pandemics, floods and earthquakes 52:45 The key is to work with bilateral stimulation during the acute phase of the trauma 55:00 Bringing EMDR to the Police, the military and the hospitals   References:  Frontiers in Psychology: Slow Wave Sleep/ Pre-Rem Sleep similarities with EMDR State American Psychological Association: Neural Basis of EMDR Therapy Nature: Neural Circuits involved in EMDR suppressing fear response American Psychological Association: Chris Lee, Meta-analysis of efficacy and speed of EMDR PubMed: Meta-analysis of treatment of sexual abuse in children and adolescents EMDREurope.com EMDR.com EMDR.it 

Roughly 80% of us will experience a traumatic event in our lifetime. And on this episode of The Liz Earle Wellbeing Show, Liz chats to chartered clinical psychologist Dr Cheryl Cross to learn how EMDR therapy can be transformational for severe trauma and how it works.EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is best known for helping to treat trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Cheryl shares how this form of psychotherapy uses both the mind and the body to help people recover from traumatic events that have led to poor mental health.The episode also covers how we define trauma and what can lead to it, who may benefit from EMDR, why it's never too late to try this form of therapy, and the science behind it.Links mentioned in the episode:Visit the EMDR Association websiteVisit Dr Laurel Parnell's websitePurchase Tapping In by Dr Lauren ParnellListen to our episode on tapping with Poppy DelbridgeListen to our episode on havening with Paul McKennaSubscribe to Liz Earle Wellbeing Magazine Hosted on Acast.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a powerful psychological treatment that is used to treat PTSD and psychotic symptoms that arise from trauma. EMDR Therapy has a positive effect on how the brain processes information. Following an EMDR Therapy session, the person no longer relives the trauma. They still recall that an incident happened, but it no longer feels upsetting. In this episode, qualified EMDR practitioner, Tracy Lynch, explains what the therapy is, how the therapy works and when it is best used to treat patients. + Follow Mel at @melissahiston + Follow Hey Soul Sista at @sistacode + Subscribe to make sure you hear the next instalment of Hey Soul Sista Podcast + www.thesistacode.com + melissa@thesistacode.com + Produced by Newcastle Podcast StationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is a new word in my dictionary, that’s why I am asking. Maybe it is also a new one for you. You know, for many of us, English is a second language, and we constantly learn… So ‘Havening’. Just hear it. And imagine a gentle touch on your skin. A touch that is full of love, trust, and compassion. A beautiful connection between two people. Havening. Heaven. Healing. A new therapy approach. And imagine an open-hearted and warm woman who shares with us her experience of working this way with her clients. Today I introduce to you: Sharna Hussain. A psychologist, a Core Energetics somatic psychotherapist, EMDR therapist, and a holotropic breathwork facilitator.WHAT IS HAVENING THERAPY?Havening Therapy is a new form of psychological therapy which is suitable for individuals suffering from stress, troubling memories, or problems with mood such as depression and anxiety. It was developed by Dr. Ronald Ruden, a dental surgeon from New York, with a background in hypnotherapy and coaching. He became interested in the work of Dr. Peter Levine a pioneer in body-centered trauma therapies, who developed the Somatic Experiencing (SE) technique. Dr. Ruben in recognising the effectiveness of SE set out to translate what the neuroscience could tell us about how such somatic techniques were able to produce such profoundly transformative changes for people, especially those with complex trauma. Then he created the Havening technique, a somewhat simpler version of SE.However, Havening (like Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Brainspotting) belongs to a new category of psychological therapies, known as ‘psycho-sensory therapy’, which all demonstrate how sensory input can change the brain, which is particularly helpful for those suffering from trauma-related conditions, as prior to their development, talk therapies had limited efficacy for such individuals. It should be noted that such somatic psychotherapy techniques have been around for over a century but have only entered the mainstream in this burgeoning age of neuroscience.

For the first episode of Season 3 I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr Melissa Snaith, a Chartered BABCP accredited Clinical Psychologist who is the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) lead at Healios. Healios is a specialist online provider for mental health where clinicians can support children, young people and adults online in the comfort of their own homes at anytime.  In our conversation Melissa talks about the power of early experiences in childhood and how they can stay with you as an adult, the emotional well-being support her teams provide through their CBT services at Healios, and the importance of finding groups that value the things we value in ourselves. Melissa is trained in a number of psychological therapies including CBT, Schema Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). She has specialist qualifications and experience in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD difficulties.  She has worked in the NHS both on the frontline and commissioning services and is passionate about improving the quality of psychological therapy. As the CBT lead for Healios she works with her team to innovate and develop psychological therapy for a high quality service. As well as running a private practice, Melissa lectures and supervises in evidence-based psychological treatments at the University of Reading.

What if there was a quick, effective way to move through processing the trauma of your own birth or witnessing it at work, and it didn’t involve going into loads of detail? My guest today has specialist skills in how to do just that. Krysta Dancy is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Roseville, California. She is also a Doula, so this is such a special combo. I don’t think she will mind me saying that this is someone who is addicted to birth. Krysta worked as a therapist for 15 years had the same realisation that I have had – which is that birth trauma is the speciality that chose her I was excited to talk to Krysta about her knowledge of EMDR. So if you’ve never heard of it, EMDR is a therapy approach that teaches the brain to process traumatic memories as if they are not traumatic. The World Health Organisation recommends EMDR as one of the top two treatment options for trauma and PTSD. The other one is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy so I recommend you go and listen to that episode after this one, if you haven’t listened yet. Now of course, these are two recommended approaches, not the only approaches. A huge value of mine in this work is helping people find holistic support options – both for birthing people, and for the workers who may be carrying vicarious trauma in their bodies. EMDR is a pretty cool approach though and I’m looking at getting trained in it myself. I know you’ll get a lot of value out of this episode so enjoy!

It is a very simple therapeutic method which simulates the state of mind when we sleep and we have intense dreams. This phase of sleep is called the REM and it is crucial for our mental health and our mood during a day. It serves us to process all the pieces of information from our lives – it deletes the ones we don’t need anymore, it saves the new ones and according to those, it changes the ways our subconsciousness functions and we consciously think. And what is the most important – it reduces stress and let us feel distant to what happened in our life. Thanks to REM we can change the perspective of how we look at things. It is like the human brain, the biggest and the most incredible computer of all time has an update every time when we are in the REM phase. And this phase is characterized by rapid eye movements. So what a great idea to have more updates when we feel depressed, we have PTSD, C-PTSD, panic attacks, depression, anxiety or we are under the influence of huge stress, don’t you think? The point of EMDR is exactly to move your eyes very fast from one side to another so it just repeats the simple pattern from the REM phase of sleep. In my opinion, it is totally genius! And it is logical when we survived something traumatic, we need more REM to integrate that. But unfortunately, after trauma, it is typical to have problems with sleeping. EMDR is a smart solution for that, isn’t it? So how and where to do EMDR? First of all, you can do it with a therapist. During a session, you recall your emotions or memories and then your eyes just follow your therapist’s finger. It sounds simple and weird, doesn’t it? But believe me, this method of therapeutic work is very effective. It is worth trying. And you can also use EMDR yourself when you are overwhelmed by strong emotions, you have a flashback or a panic attack or you wake up at night from a nightmare. I will share with you my way to do that in these kinds of situations.You can find a full description of the podcast here:https://www.kasiamay.com/blog/emdr-eye-movements-which-reduce-stress-and-let-us-feel-distant/Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=Vm6i9wbh7V9vawDhSAOtnc2T5Uj105Mpbj42skkem_uUGrVJxIDSyk4TRfTXRSSy9i8wmm&country.x=US&locale.x=EN_US )

In episode 8, I talk you through the pros and cons of using CBT for birth trauma and how it's less about the therapy approach you choose and more about the therapeutic fit. The WHO recommends two main Psychological approaches for the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). One is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) the other is Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR). Cognitive Behaviour works by working with someone's negative or 'stuck' thoughts about the trauma. This works on the idea that the brain doesn't realise that the threat of the trauma has passed, and/or what you want to do with information about the trauma. Imagine that somewhere in your birth experience (or watching someone's else's) you have the thought "this is it, I'm going to die". I remember in vivid detail after the birth of my first daughter being in so much pain, that I actually welcomed death. I remember being wheeled off to emergency surgery seeing my husband cradling our new baby and saying thinking "take care of her. This might be the last time I see you guys". I still well up with tears every single time I think, write, or speak about it, but part of the 'trick' to coping has been (a) realising I had that thought and (b) coaching my brain to realise that the threat has past, and I'm now in the present. Each time I'm able to do that, my heart rate lowers, my breathing rate reduces, my jaw relaxes and I can feel what it's like for my brain to back down, realising it's a memory and the actual threat has passed. The goal of CBT then is to help people catch the negative thoughts that pop up automatically and thereby reduce the awful feelings. CBT posits that all feelings and sensations from trauma (e.g., heart racing, sweating, feeling pannicky, feeling rage, avoiding) all start with a single thought. A large component (at least the way I work) is through writing – writing the event as it happened, in the past then in present and working with ‘hot spots’ – automatic negative thoughts. The goal is to work with thoughts and beliefs about the trauma so distress is reduced. PROS of CBT Evidence based Longitudinal research WHO supported Medicare rebate supported (10 sessions in Australia) Skills learned translate well into other areas of life - confidence, parenting, anxiety, depression, fears and just getting yourself out of a funk. Easy to find a practitioner CONS of CBT Potentially the ‘best’ we have but still doesn’t remedy all PTSD Gold standard CBT for PTSD is 20+ sessions, roughly 12 months of work Medicare will only rebate for 10 sessions, meaning client either has to fork over the rest of payment, wait until new calendar year, or find bulk-billing (there are no financial benefits for mental health workers to bulk-bill, unlike for GPs) Can potentially be interpreted as blaming (‘your thoughts are the problem’) Even imaginal exposure is too confronting for some Cognitive therapies are not great for people with low self-reflection
