Podcasts about eye movement desensitization

In this episode of The Art of Growth, Joel Hubbard and Jim Zartman sit down once again with therapist Michelle Pruett to explore “faux wisdom” in the therapy world—those phrases, concepts, and quick fixes that sound good but miss the heart of true healing. Together, they unpack how readiness, resistance, and relational depth play vital roles in transformation. They also revisit the importance of calibrated support and challenge, the misuse of trauma language, and how timing matters more than advice.

Erben kann erfreulich sein, wenn das, was ich erbe, mir guttut und gefällt, wie das Häuschen im Grünen oder die braunen Augen von Mama. Es kann aber auch eine Belastung sein. Wenn man Schulden erbt, kann man das Erbe ausschlagen. Vieles andere ererbte, das wir in uns tragen und nicht so gerne haben wollen, können wir nicht so leicht ausschlagen. Dazu gehören ererbte Wunden- also Traumata, die unsere engen Bindungspersonen erlebt haben und auch auf uns wirken können. Heute spreche ich mit der Psychotherapeutin und Autorin Katharina Drexler, die genau dieses Thema seit über 25 Jahren in die Öffentlichkeit bringt. Frau Drexler ist Fachärztin für Psychiatrie und Psychosomatische Medizin. Sie hat Ausbildungen in tiefenpsychologischer und psychoanalytisch- systemischer Psychotherapie und EMDR, ist Supervisorin für Traumatherapie. Sie arbeiten Sie in eigner Praxis und gibt Seminare zum Thema „Transgenerational weitergegebene Traumata und ihre Behandlung.“ In dieser Podcastfolge sprechen wir über Folgendes: • Welche persönliche Erfahrung hat dazu geführt, dass sie sich mit dem Thema „Ererbte Wunden“ beschäftigte? • Ist Trauma mittlerweile eine Modediagnose oder haben Psycholog*innen recht, die sagen, dass viel mehr psychische und psychiatrische Erkrankungen eigentlich auf Trauma zurückzuführen sind. • Wie erkennen Menschen überhaupt, ob sie an den Folgen einer Traumatisierung leiden? Wo sollte man als betroffene oder angehörige Person hellhörig werden? • Wie kann man unterscheiden, ob man an einer eigenen traumatischen Wunde leidet, oder an einer ererbten? • Wie kommt es dazu, dass Traumata in einem Menschen wirksam werden, die er persönlich weder miterlebt, noch darüber gehört habt? • Wenn ich nun also weiß, dass es sich bei meinen Symptomen um eine ererbte Wunde handelt: Wie gehe ich damit um? Wie sieht die Behandlung aus? • Wie kann ich verhindern, dass ich diese Wunde an meine Kinder oder Enkel weitergebe? • In letzter Zeit wird viel von Epigenetik gesprochen. Was ist das in Bezug auf das Thema? Schreib mir gerne, was die Folge in dir ausgelöst hat und welche Erfahrungen du selber hast. Gute Erkenntnisse und viel Inspiration beim Hören wünscht dir Petra Hier die Empfehlungen von Frau Drexler: Homepage: www.katharina-drexler.de Die Bücher: „Ererbte Wunden erkennen“ Klett-Cotta Im Herbst 2025 kommt das überarbeitet umfangreichere Buch heraus: „Ererbte Wunden heilen“ (Therapie der transgenerationalen Traumatisierung) Klett-Cotta (Leben lernen) Die Therapeut:innen-Suche auf der EMDRIA Homepage: https://www.emdria.de/therapeuteninnen Der Spitzer Artikel: https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/html/10.1055/a-0847-8494 Der Wikipedia Eintrag zu EMDR: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_Movement_Desensitization_and_Reprocessing Hier die Podcastfolgen, die das Thema ergänzen: Was ist ein Trauma? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvanXzBu4vE Was ist Wingwave-Coaching?

What does someone do after a break from reality? Is it possible to cure mental health conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder? On this episode, I talk with Neil McCarthy, author of "An Inspiring Recovery: How I Found Sanity." We talk about: - Mental health diagnosis - Navigating medication and treatment changes - Mindfulness, meditation, and living in the present - Music, writing, and other creative expression - The importance of community for writers   For anyone who has faced a frightening diagnosis or a break with reality—or has had family or friends who have—you'll know how terrifying it can be and how powerless you can feel. Your life can seem to melt instantly. Neil's story is powerful and shows what it takes to get to and maintain a healthy space mentally and physically. More about the book: Nineteen-year-old Neil McCarthy had the world at his feet—an engineering major, athlete, and musician at Carnegie Mellon University—when he experienced a psychotic break during the summer after his sophomore year. This led him to embark on a decades-long journey to find a sense of belonging and an oasis of sanity from his mania, psychosis, depression, insomnia, and anxiety. Neil left no stone unturned in his quest for sanity. Combining all the benefits of Western medicine with Eastern spirituality, naturopathic medicine, and a variety of therapies brought Neil much of the wellness he craved.   Neil was soon hit with the reality that recovery would not be a simple process. Doctors changed. Diagnoses changed. Jobs changed. Insomnia was his foe for most of his adult life. But Neil persisted. Eventually, he realized that while medications could help mitigate his symptoms, the real healing had to come from within him. In his own words, “I did not need to hide from tasks that caused me pain. Instead, I met them head-on.” During his recovery, Neil encountered a variety of mental health treatments, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which furthered him down the path toward sanity. While focusing on the recovery process, this raw memoir chronicles Neil's thirty-year journey toward well-being. He has proved that it is not only possible to live a prosperous life with mental health challenges, but also to inspire others along the way.

Indigo Stray Conger has been a therapist since 2008 and has completed over a decade of therapeutic training. She is one of less than ten AASECT certified sex therapists at a supervisory level in the state of Colorado.During our conversation, we delve into what somatic psychotherapy entails and also the role of EMDR in trauma healing, and the challenges of intimacy in relationships.As we discuss, trauma can turn up in relationships in many forms can impact on both the psychological and physical barriers to intimacy, which can prevent singles and couples from fully exploring the many ways to experience sexual pleasure.EMDR is a tool I have used myself to try and overcome phobias and also behaviours that don't serve me well. If you're unfamiliar with the technique, EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is most commonly used to treat PTSD, but now is used to solve a range of issues. It involves recalling the traumatic episode, or the particular fear, and then through specific eye movements and some other type of stimulation (talking, for example), the brain reprocesses the memory and reduces its significance in your mind. It may sound woo-woo, but it's actually not and very quickly can help in situations where the traumatic episode is quite specific (at least, that was my own experience).We also touch on the importance of consent, proper sex eduction and how sexual orientations such as asexuality and demisexuality are gaining recognition.You can find Indigo here:https://milehighpsychotherapy.com/meet-the-therapistsIf you'd like access to exclusive features like personal posts, my new 32 page booklet, Sex Toys & Supplements for Thriving in Later Life, my private chat room, direct messaging for your burning questions, and Substack Live sessions with expert guests, consider becoming a paid subscriber!

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing was only created in the late 20th century, but it's since established itself as a popular and increasingly used form of therapy. EMDR is especially recommended for children and adults dealing with trauma from physical or psychological violence, such as sexual abuse. It was discovered relatively recently in 1987, but that doesn't mean it's an alternative treatment; it's a clinically proven approach. According to charity PTSD UK: “One study showed up to 90% of single-trauma victims no longer have PTSD after only 3 90-minute sessions.” How does it work? How was it discovered?

In Part 10 of The Journey Beyond Death — and Part 2 of our "After-Death Communication" series — we explore groundbreaking methods for connecting with loved ones beyond the veil. Dr. Allan Botkin, renowned psychologist and creator of Induced After-Death Communication (IADC), shares how EMDR-based techniques can lift the crushing sadness of grief and create ideal conditions for spontaneous spiritual contact. His clinical work with PTSD veterans reveals that reaching a peaceful emotional state — not a hypnotic trance — opens the door to profound afterlife experiences. We also reconnect with acclaimed author Philip Smith, who describes his ongoing relationship with his late father through automatic writing and subtle energetic cues. Smith's vivid stories illustrate how spirit communication can be a natural extension of love and trust, not a mysterious or distant concept. His experiences challenge the skepticism of modern society and offer powerful testimony that emotional bonds persist beyond physical death. Adding another dimension, Patricia Mischell — psychic medium and near-death experiencer — explains how meditation, intention, and spiritual discipline create pathways for genuine after-death communications. She stresses the importance of discernment, emotional openness, and daily practice in cultivating these extraordinary connections. This powerful episode weaves together clinical research, personal testimony, and spiritual insight to illuminate one of the deepest questions of the human experience: Does death end the relationship, or simply change its form?

Survivor's guilt is a complex and often distressing emotional and psychological response that occurs when an individual feels guilty for surviving a traumatic event or situation when others did not. It is most commonly associated with situations like:Natural Disasters: When people survive earthquakes, hurricanes, or other natural disasters while others perish.Accidents: Surviving a car crash, plane crash, or other accidents where others involved did not survive.Combat: Soldiers who return from war zones where their comrades were killed in action.Illness: Surviving a serious illness or medical condition when others with similar conditions did not make it.Mass Shootings or Acts of Violence: Survivors of mass shootings or violent incidents may experience survivor's guilt if they escaped while others were injured or killed.Survivor's guilt can manifest in various ways, including:Feelings of Guilt: Survivors may question why they lived while others died, leading to feelings of guilt and self-blame.Flashbacks and Intrusive Thoughts: Recurrent, distressing memories of the traumatic event may plague survivors.Depression and Anxiety: Survivors may experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Social Withdrawal: They may isolate themselves from friends and family, believing they don't deserve happiness or connection.Physical Symptoms: Survivor's guilt can manifest physically, with symptoms like headaches, nausea, and fatigue.Self-Destructive Behavior: In extreme cases, survivors may engage in self-destructive behaviors, such as substance abuse or reckless actions.Understanding survivor's guilt is important because it can have a profound impact on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. It can also affect their relationships and overall quality of life. Treatment typically involves therapy, particularly trauma-focused therapies like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Support from friends, family, and support groups can also be beneficial in helping survivors cope with these challenging feelings.In this episode, we hear from a source that both surviving roommates are suffering from survivors guilt and that both have had a very difficult time in the wake of the murders.(commercial at 8:54)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Survivor's Guilt: Definition, Symptoms, Traits, Causes, Treatment (verywellmind.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The conversation highlights the importance of collaborative efforts between educators, mental health professionals, and families in building resilience and emotional well-being among adolescents. Tune in to learn how an integrated care model can transform the future of youth mental health in education.About the Special Host:Faryal Popal, LMFT, began her academic journey at California State University, East Bay, in 2005, earning a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2009. She then pursued a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy, which she completed in 2011. Since then, she has been dedicated to the mental health field, providing therapeutic services and advocating for comprehensive mental health support. Faryal began her career at Union City Youth and Family Services, working with families, children, and court-mandated youth. She later transitioned to school-based mental health, focusing on delivering counseling services, consulting with educators, and supporting families in East San Jose. In her current role at Campbell Union School District, she serves as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and an integral member of the IEP team, collaborating to develop treatment goals that align with students' educational plans while providing crisis intervention.

My work centers on empowering students by ensuring the curriculum is accessible to those with learning disabilities, integrating innovative teaching strategies, and utilizing tools such as speech-to-text and other assistive technologies to support diverse learning needs. I have witnessed the profound influence of social media on the mental health of teens, particularly those navigating depression. By fostering healthy boundaries and promoting collaboration between schools and families, I aim to equip students with the skills to thoughtfully navigate the complexities of technology and digital spaces. My perspective as an educator is enriched by my lived experience as a neurodivergent individual. Managing ADHD, dyslexia, and auditory and gross motor processing disorders has given me a unique understanding of the challenges students face in today's educational landscape. Growing up with the support of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) in the public education system sparked my passion for advocacy and innovation. These experiences drive my commitment to contributing to meaningful conversations about supporting neurodivergent individuals and addressing the evolving challenges faced by today's youth.

How to Stop Self-Sabotage & Reclaim Your Power when Your Partner Won't Change -with Dr. Ray Doktor In this episode, Lora Cheadle welcomes Dr. Ray Doktor, a life and relationship coach, to explore the deep emotional work required to heal from betrayal. Together, they unpack why men often struggle to express emotions, how women can stop waiting for a partner's “potential,” and the self-sabotaging patterns that keep people stuck. Top 3 Takeaways: Healing Starts with You – Infidelity shakes your sense of self, but recovery begins by turning inward and rebuilding your relationship with yourself. Wishful Thinking vs. Reality – Many women hold onto their partner's “potential,” but true healing comes from accepting who they really are, not who you wish they could be. Men and Emotional Avoidance – Many men avoid deep emotional work, opting for quick-fix pleasure (cheating, drinking, distractions) over true healing. A thriving relationship requires both partners to grow together. Bio: Ray Doktor, Psy. D. works as a modern day relationship & rapid breakthrough coach. For the last 25 years, he's successfully helped over 6k clients breakthrough limited beliefs and challenges to have better relationships, improved family life, and more success!

He shared the same stages with Marianne Williamson, Bruce Lipton, John Gray, and Eckhart Tolle. Dr. Ray received his doctoral degree in clinical psychology, earned a master's degree in counseling psychology, and an undergraduate degree in human behavior. Other advanced training includes: hypnotherapy, Gestalt therapy, guided imagery, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), qigong, PSYCH-K, meditation, sound healing, and somatic experience. His most profound mentorship involved traveling the world and assisting renowned psychologist Dr. Morris Netherton–a pioneer in his field and colleague of Fritz Perls, Carl Rogers, and Norm Shealy.

Hey Team! In this episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Natalia Aíza (I Ez Ah), a multilingual counselor and OCD specialist.  Natalia is the founder and executive director of Kairos Wellness Collective, a therapy center that focuses on holistic care for clients experiencing OCD and Anxiety - located in Boulder, Colorado. They offer therapies including Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Neurofeedback. Obviously, we won't get into all of that in our conversation today, but we do hit on a few of those. Also, separately, I wanted to mention that Kairos is the Greek word meaning “the perfect, delicate, crucial moment; the fleeting rightness of time and place that creates the opportune atmosphere for action, words or movement; also weather.” And really, I just wanted to share that because I love words like that - I just find them neat. Anyway, in our conversation today, we dive into the overlap of ADHD and OCD - how they are similar and how they differ, and also the unique challenges each presents, especially when they are co-occurring. Natalia shares her personal and professional insights on distinguishing between ADHD distractions and OCD compulsions and how to approach treatment for each. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/209 Also before we get started, I wanted to let you know about my AMA on YouTube Live, happening the week this is released on January 31st at 10 AM Pacific - if you're interested you can find that on the Hacking Your ADHD YouTube page, youtube.com/@hackingyouradhd and subscribe to the channel - or if you want to submit a question ahead of time you can do so at hackingyouradhd.com/ama This Episode's Top Tips It's important to remember that you need to approach OCD and ADHD treatments differently; techniques beneficial for one may exacerbate the other. Try to distinguish between compulsions and simple fidgets or stims—while symptoms can be similar, it's essential to understand the root causes that characterize compulsions. Be proactive in seeking diagnosis and treatment if OCD symptoms appear; early intervention can prevent the condition from worsening.

„Ich kann es einfach nicht. Und jetzt wissen es alle." Dieses Gefühl beschleicht Kim Fisher ständig und deswegen schämt sie sich in Situationen, in denen sie eigentlich richtig gut ist. Scham ist ein großes Thema und wir hauen mal ein paar Beispiele aus unserem Leben raus. Ich erzähl Euch einen Trick, der mir geholfen hat, aus der Scham-Spirale rauszukommen. Kim ist übrigens schon genauso lange Fernsehmoderatorin wie ich. Sie ist seit 1997 beim Riverboat im MDR, ich seit genau dem gleichen Jahr beim Sat.1 Frühstücksfernsehen. Verrückt, es gibt eigentlich nichts, was wir nicht schon mit Gästen erlebt haben. Und beide kennen wir „den Osten“ gut und haben ein großes Herz und Verständnis für die unterschiedlichen Lebensumstände, die Menschen so haben in unserem großen Land. Wenn Ihr wissen wollt, welcher Klops mir passiert ist vor kurzem bei ihr im Riverboat, wofür Kim sich mal wieder (zu unrecht) geschämt hat und warum das trotzdem eine wahnsinnig schöne Sendung war, dann findet Ihr in den Shownotes den Link zur Sendung. Und alle Storys natürlich brühwarm in dieser Folge! Habt Spaß, schön dass Ihr da seid.

In this episode, we explore the transformative power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy with Laurel Roberts-Meese, a seasoned therapist and founder of the Laurel Therapy Collective. Laurel specializes in helping high-achievers, including executives, healthcare workers, and entrepreneurs, navigate trauma, anxiety, and burnout. She shares the science behind EMDR, how it works to neutralize traumatic memories, and addresses common misconceptions. Whether you're new to EMDR or seeking to understand if it might be right for you, this episode is packed with insights, hope, and myth-busting.   About the Guest: Laurel Roberts-Meese is a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience working with individuals facing emotional challenges. As the founder of the Laurel Therapy Collective, Laurel focuses on trauma recovery, anxiety management, and burnout prevention for high-achievers. Trained in EMDR therapy for over six years, Laurel blends expertise with compassion to guide clients through transformative healing journeys. Her mission is to provide tailored therapeutic approaches that foster resilience and emotional well-being. Reach: https://www.laureltherapy.net/    Key Takeaways: What is EMDR? EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements, tapping, or sounds, to help the brain process stuck trauma memories and recategorize them into neutral experiences. It doesn't erase traumatic memories but helps reduce their emotional charge. How EMDR Works: Developed by Francine Shapiro, EMDR helps the brain create new neural pathways, allowing individuals to think about past traumas without triggering intense physical or emotional reactions. The therapy integrates guided recollections of trauma with bilateral stimulation to aid memory processing. Who Can Benefit from EMDR: Most people can benefit, but readiness is crucial. Individuals need foundational coping skills before beginning. EMDR may be less effective for those heavily reliant on substances, with specific medication interactions, or with highly literal thinking patterns, though outcomes can vary. Common Misconceptions: EMDR may sound "magical" or implausible, but it is a well-researched and evidence-backed therapy. It is not a quick fix; successful outcomes require proper preparation and readiness. Important Considerations: Proper resourcing, such as developing coping mechanisms, is essential before diving into the reprocessing phase. EMDR may not suit everyone at every life stage, particularly those with high-risk pregnancies or certain neurodivergent conditions. This episode offers a compassionate and enlightening guide to a therapy that is changing lives, making it an essential listen for anyone curious about innovative approaches to trauma recovery.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Has modern therapy become a hostile environment towards Jewish people? I sit down with Malka Shaw, a licensed clinical social worker and trauma therapist, to delve into the pressing issue of anti-Semitism and its psychological implications. Malka shares her experiences as a therapist and the challenges Jewish clients face in therapy, particularly in light of recent events that have heightened anti-Semitic sentiments. We discuss the inappropriate remarks some therapists make, which can invalidate the experiences of their Jewish clients, and how this reflects a broader trend of misunderstanding and bias within the mental health field.Malka also introduces her organization, Kesher Shalom, which aims to provide education and support for Jewish communities while addressing the cultural accommodations needed in mental health practices. We explore the concept of anti-Semitism as a form of racism, the historical context of Jews as scapegoats, and the psychological mechanisms that allow such biases to persist. Malka clarifies the true meaning of Zionism and why the rise of anti-Zionist sentiments concern her. Throughout our conversation, we question why anti-Semitism is often overlooked and how it serves as a warning sign for societal health.Malka Shaw, LCSW (licensed in NJ, NY, and Florida), is a psychotherapist and trauma expert with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. Specializing in trauma recovery using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), she has built a private practice focusing on women's wellness, relationship dynamics, and maternal health. Malka also provides clinical supervision, and consultation, develops continuing education courses on trauma and antisemitism; and often presents at professional events. Drawing on her experience with large-scale trauma, Malka founded Kesher Shalom Projects following the devastating events of October 7th. KSP's mission is to provide education and professional development on mental health and antisemitism, critical for building resilience within Jewish communities. By helping others understand the psychology behind antisemitic propaganda and its impact on society, Kesher Shalom offers valuable insights for combating antisemitism and supporting those affected.MalkaShaw.comKesherShalom.comMalka's next training for therapists, coming up December 2, 2024: Navigating Trauma: GUARD System Techniques for Addressing Symptoms from Antisemitism and Prolonged StressBooks mentioned in this episode are listed below. "The Madness of Crowds" by Douglas Murray: https://amzn.to/40uFjlAView my complete list of book recommendations, including those written by authors who have been guests on this show, at https://sometherapist.com/bookshop.As an Amazon affiliate, I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases made through affiliate links from my show notes or website.
