Wir sind wieder früh aufgestanden und fühlen uns wie befreite Autobahnen mitten in der Nacht. Anke und die Autobahnen sehen alle Sonnenaufgänge, während Claudija ihren Schweinehund in Richtung Nachtarbeit klopft. Wir beide sind Warmduscherinnen, mögen Stille und Yogi-Tee, doch wenn Anke zu lange schweigt, erschrickt sich Claudija, weil sie das Gänseblümchenbuch nicht alleine schreiben will. Voller Wertschätzung für alle Wahrnehmungen müssen sich weder blumige noch faulige Gefühle bei Claudijas EMDR-Sitzungen mehr ins Unbewusste flüchten und auch nicht fragmentieren. Durch liebevolles, bilaterales Klopfen werden alle Integrationen leicht, und fiese Glaubenssätze schreiben sich selbst um. In Claudijas EMDR-Sessions räumen Klient*innen ihre psychischen Kücheninseln auf, vergeben sich und anderen. Sichere Orte sind dann eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Dabei hilft Hoponopo sogar rosa Elefanten zu mehr Selbstwirksamkeit. Claudija kann zwar noch immer keine Wunder vollbringen, doch Spinnenphobien gehören dank ihr ins Land der Vergangenheit. Wenn du mal eine Stunde lang bei Kürbissuppe und Datteldip auf deine Schultern geklopft hast, wirst du das wissen. Voller Freude und Dankbarkeit für viel tränenreiches Vertrauen kennen wir beide durchaus sehr selbstkritische Zeiten und wissen sie als qualitative Wachstumsmöglichkeit zu schätzen. Derzeit hoffen wir – ohne Schreibblockaden und Scheiterhaufenängste –, weiterhin mit viel Freude an unserem sinnvollen Tun, dass unser Herzklopfen bald für euch lesbar sein wird, denn wir finden es herzzerreißend wundervoll, wenn Menschen es wagen, sich zu verändern und sich selbst huldigen – einfach, weil sie toll sind.

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?

Process Your Past for Peace in the Present with EMDREye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapeutic approach designed to help process past traumatic events. Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR involves recalling distressing experiences while simultaneously undergoing bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones. This dual attention process helps to desensitize and reprocess the traumatic memory, transforming it from a vivid, emotionally charged recollection to a more neutral and manageable story. EMDR is grounded in the concept that trauma disrupts the brain's natural information processing, and by re-engaging this process, we can achieve significant emotional and psychological healing.In this episode, we talk about EMDR and how it can help you process past traumatic events, remove obstacles, and reclaim your healing with Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016.

Lo más probable es que tu pensamiento inmediato fuera Las violetas son azules, aunque no hayas oído esas frases desde hace muchos años. ¿Por qué? Bueno, tu cerebro forma conexiones entre recuerdos que operan automáticamente, fuera de tu conciencia. Estas asociaciones automáticas pueden afectar a la forma en que te ves a ti mismo y respondes al mundo, a menudo de forma poco útil. Las experiencias dolorosas pueden almacenarse en el cerebro como recuerdos "no procesados" que aún contienen las emociones, sensaciones físicas y creencias del suceso original. Cuando las situaciones actuales desencadenan esos recuerdos, revives viejos sentimientos y reacciones en lugar de responder de forma adaptativa. Por ejemplo, una mujer que ruega a sus antiguos novios que no la abandonen puede estar reviviendo el terror de una noche de tormenta en su infancia, cuando llamaba a gritos a sus padres y éstos no acudían. En este análisis, aprenderás cómo la terapia de desensibilización y reprocesamiento por movimientos oculares, o EMDR, puede ayudarte a procesar tus recuerdos dolorosos. También aprenderás técnicas de autovigilancia y autocontrol, como el abrazo de la mariposa, que te ayudarán a mantener el control. Todo el mundo tiene complejas redes de memoria que influyen en sus emociones, pensamientos y comportamientos, sobre todo de forma subconsciente.

"A Question of Pain: Grief and catharsis in EMDR, Flash, and psychodynamic approaches," is the third part (of four) of a conversation with Dr. Phil Manfield. Dr. Manfield is now best known as the creator of the Flash Technique, but for decades has been one of the most influential EMDR educators worldwide. This episode represents the best of what TDT intends to offer, which is a challenging, opinionated, but lighthearted conversation about the role of narrative in treating complex trauma. Highlights include -The host presents voiced challenges to Dr. Manfield's models of treatment, based on objections that neglect is an *absence* of memories, and that attachment pain must be experienced to be grieved. -Dr. Manfield narrates his own early experience of attachment-based therapy according to a psychodynamic model, and offers this as a contrast to his approach. -Criticisms of certain psychodynamic models of complex trauma treatment, in particular a recent attempt to integrate EMDR with Schema Therapy. -EMDR discussed as a "dissociation detector," altering the careers of therapists who did not previously notice complex trauma as widespread. -Grieving the narrative as a healing approach, rather than the need to experience catharsis through pain. -Dr. Francine Shapiro's radical impact on the understanding of trauma and traumatology (AIP model), and the need for a "visceral shift" in healing. -A discussion of how psychodynamic (and other models) can successfully incorporate Flash simply to save time and pain, without a "mashup" of modalities that requires reconceptualizing one's treatment modality. In future (as in past) episodes, guests will offer counterpoints to Dr. Manfield's views, and this video is a dialogue, rather than an endorsement of his perspectives. Likewise, The Dissociative Table does not endorse the views of its hosts, nor do any professional organizations to which the host or guest might belong. Dr. Manfield is the author or editor of five books on psychotherapy, an international EMDRIA-Approved EMDR trainer, and creator of The Flash Technique.

Is it a big stretch to think of struggling with trauma as part of a hero's journey? Or is it integral for the hero's transformation? How do we metabolize feeling weak or diminished by fear, anxiety and pain from traumatic events that at times can seem beyond our ability to cope? What if we understood that even the willingness to face a trauma will stimulate the parts of the brain responsible for resilience and, over time, build strength and courage? Advances in neuroscience have shed light on some of the brain's hidden functions in times of pain and trauma, and the resulting influences on our responses and behavior. Moving through the phases of healing trauma is what builds the road to our eventual transformation. We apply emerging new wisdom and strength to reconcile and reshape our experiences with trauma, and perhaps inspire others on their own healing odyssey. A real hero's journey. Unraveling the nature of trauma and its healing is the focus of this conversation between Aviv Shahar and Dr. Keith Witt, an internationally known integral psychotherapist, teacher and author of 15 books. Keith has conducted over 70,000 therapy sessions, written hundreds of blog posts, and appeared on numerous podcasts, including his own, The Shrink and The Pundit, and Witt & Wisdom.Among their insights:Conventional wisdom has been we're all born equal and then the environment shapes us. Research has proved that to be entirely and dramatically wrong.Trauma is a natural part of the experience of life; it's completely integral to the development journey. There are ways to work with trauma to facilitate our growth.A human being accessing their inherent “superpowers” to love and grow will get better, become more loving, and grow on whatever line they're investing in. That's the gift of consciousness.Once you lie to yourself, you do violence to yourself; you lie to somebody else, you do violence to another person. That's not real compassion; it's a defensive state masquerading as compassion.The essence of trauma learning has been being a victim and not having power. The essence of resilience is having agency, and living as if the rest of humanity are your companions, not your enemies.The culture is self-organizing away from comprehensive communication and towards confrontation. But conversation produces progress and solves problems.I am hopeful about humanity because all across the world people are dialed in, not just to spirituality, but also science, and to vast networks of incredible help and resources. It's a great time to be alive.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

There's been a lot of neurobiology research, and I study a lot. It's one of the pleasures of my life to study systems, and I practice a lot of therapy, and I realized that the field didn't realize that trauma work proceeds through four stages. People intuitively understood it. If you talk to anybody in the field, say, Bessel van der Kolk or Francine Shapiro, some of those people if you teased it out, they would basically end up talking about these four stages, and I felt like an integral understanding of those four stages was important for psychotherapists because the principles are different in different stages.” (Dr. Keith Witt) “So, when you are practicing awareness with acceptance and caring intent for your interior experience, you're activating circuits in your frontal cortex, particularly your right frontal cortex, that are self-regulatory circuits. If you do that daily for a month, stem cells will divide into daughter cells and become integrative neurons that hardwire self-regulatory circuits from the front of the cerebral cortex back to the amygdala and hippocampus. So, all contemplative work creates the neural territory to be able to self-regulate. That's an important central feature of many systems.” (Dr. Keith Witt) “Dialed in means I feel comfortable in my life; I feel in charge of doing what I need to do; I feel confident and competent; I feel like my life works for me and I work for my life. My relationships are working for me, and so on. It's just that I'm in harmony with my life dialed in, integral mindfulness.” (Dr. Keith Witt) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteDr. Keith's Website

In this episode, Jen explores what might happen in your EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy sessions. Although this will differ with every therapist, Jen's aim here is to give you an overview of what might happen because sometimes we have scared parts that want to know exactly what we are signing up for. Francine Shapiro initially developed EMDR therapy in the eighties to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But now, it is used in various situations like phobias, anxiety issues, stress reduction, pain management, and even dermatological conditions. In this episode, Jen walks you through the standardised eight-phase treatment process so you can know what to expect in a session. Jen is a licensed clinical psychotherapist, certified EMDR practitioner and energetic healer. ________ RESOURCES: Episode 17: What is EMDR Therapy? https://www.psychotherapycentral.health/podcasts/psychotherapy-central/episodes/2148140121 Shapiro, F.

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

We are joined by Dana Carretta-Stein, an EMDR therapist based in New York. Not only does Dana practice EMDR with her clients, she is also a consultant to fellow therapists on how to best use EMDR with their own clients! Per Dana's Website, "EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a trauma-informed, solution-focused therapy that was founded by Francine Shapiro in 1987 for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Since then, it has become one of the best ways to overcome anxiety, depression, and a number of other mental health struggles."  Throughout this conversation, the ladies discuss who is a good candidate for EMDR, finding a practitioner, what a session might look like, and how EMDR therapy can help clients through PTSD and complex trauma. This therapy helps us use both hemispheres of our brain to effectively process trauma. Trauma is at the core of so many mental health issues, and it is possible that EMDR may be the right therapy modality for people seeking help.

Do you struggle to stick with your healthy eating habits due to emotional and/or stress eating? Do you wish you had a magic wand to eliminate emotional eating? Would you like to learn about some easy ways to cope with overwhelming feelings, emotions, stress, and even trauma? In this episode, my special guest psychotherapist and hypnotist, Randy Webb, will teach you 3 easy techniques to quickly calm and soothe yourself instead of turning to food. Techniques: 1. Butterfly hug: a technique developed by therapists Ignacio "Nacho" Jarero and Lucinda Artigas to help traumatized children get reoriented right after a hurricane in Mexico. It involves making a "butterfly" by linking your hands together and tapping yourself slowly while breathing deeply (using your diaphragm). 2. Safe/calm/magical place: a technique developed by trauma therapist and innovator Francine Shapiro that helps you to be present with all your senses and then tapping yourself to strengthen your affirmations and gifts. 3. Emotional Freedom Technique: a method probably derived most from the first evidence-based energy therapy called Thought-Field Therapy by psychologist Roger Callahan which involves tapping at various points or energy centers or meridians in the body while making affirmations.

I love to read and learn more about how to treat trauma and PTSD, so I thought I'd share my favorite books about recovering from trauma and PTSD. #1. Ok, here's my favorite PTSD Self-Help book: -Healing Trauma by Peter Levine. Awesome book explaining how trauma gets trapped in the body and how you can process through it and heal. A short read with gentle examples and some easy exercises. It's my number one book about overcoming PTSD and trauma because it's very accessible, not very triggering, easy to understand and comes with exercises to start healing your relationship with your body. #2 The body keeps the score by Bessel Van Der Kolk. Dr. Van Der Kolk has done so much research on effective treatments for PTSD and childhood trauma, and in this dense book he outlines how trauma impacts the brain, mind and body. Bessel explains what effective treatments are available, and gives some clear insights into actions both individuals and society as a whole can do to prevent and treat trauma, including childhood trauma. Includes a lot of detailed stories that could be quite triggering. This book has spent 74 weeks on Amazon's top 20 nonfiction books and with good reason, it's just a really good, really comprehensive approach to trauma. #3. The Transformation by Dr. James Gordon Written by a compassionate doctor who understands the biological and medical aspect of trauma treatment, but also the importance of dancing, laughing and pets as part of healing, this book is an excellent holistic approach to treating the body, mind and the heart after trauma. #4. Moving Beyond Trauma by Ilene Smith #5. Getting past your past by Francine Shapiro #6. I know why the caged bird sings- Maya Angelou #7. Man's search for meaning- Viktor Frankl #8.

Do you have an innovation mindset? You know who did? Francine Shapiro. She first created EMD in 1987 after her famous walk in the park, and later created EMDR in 1991 with standard protocol (8 phases) and the AIP model. EMDRIA wasn't established until 1995. Over the past 30 years, many clinicians have gone on to expand our understanding of healing trauma and EMDR, even bringing in new theories about taxing the working memory (EMDR 2.0). So isn't it interesting that in all these years of innovation, some EMDR clinicians believe that EMDR, as they learned it many years ago, is somehow supposed to stay that way forever as “the perfect product.” Honoring Francine Shapiro doesn't mean we stop innovating what she created. In fact, this is the opposite of how we honor an innovator. We honor an innovator by participating in the innovation process instead of hindering it. To understand how we can truly honor the innovators we admire, listen in as my hubs, Keegan Evans, shares his career experience with Scott Cook, founder of Intuit. Keegan invites us to learn from successful tech companies in Silicon Valley to try on innovation mindsets, create learning communities, encourage the natural process of products evolving over time, and not to fall into the trap of thinking there is a “perfect product.” ----------------------------------------- Zero Disturbance offers comprehensive resources for therapists on EMDR-informed clinical reasoning, intensive design, passive income systems, & teaching excellence.

Rounding out our mini-series on different therapeutic interventions is EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's one of the more popular intervention methods due to the vast amount of evidence proving its effectiveness. It was originally designed by Dr. Francine Shapiro, who had a distressing memory come up one day while walking in the park and calmed herself down by rapidly moving her eyes between two lights in front of her. She studied this experience, coming up with the theory that bilateral stimulation of the left/right hemispheres in the brain helped process trauma into the mind's long term memory. After repeated success, she created EMDR so others could learn the method and implement it with their clients. In this episode, I will guide you through the reason behind EMDR's success in tackling trauma, what a session that uses EMDR would be like, and the resources/skills that EMDR develops in clients. Topics/Triggers: How trauma memory is timeless, highly emotional, and stored in the emotional side of the brain — the right hemisphere How EMDR processes trauma memory into the long term in order to help our brains store it in the grander narrative of our lives The symptoms of trauma, including Intrusive Memories, Hyperarousal, Anxiety Activation, Worry, Avoidance, Disassociation, Numbing, PTSD, and Depression Different therapeutic interventions, including Prolonged Exposure, DBT, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR The exposure element of EMDR and why it differs from other intervention methods A step-by-step walkthrough of an EMDR session Why EMDR has a low rate of retraumatization post-session The window of tolerance EMDR Resources and Skills Attachment-based EMDR, as created by Laurel Parnell Using Archetypal Experiences, Places, or Figures to find peace Why we should use animals/people/fictional characters that are nurturing, protective, and wise as resources instead of our family members/partners My personal experience with EMDR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you took anything away from today's podcast, please share it with someone who may need to hear it.

In March 2020 the world as we knew it changed forever when we were hit with the COVID-19 pandemic.  The trauma of something unlike anything experienced in our lifetime and the stress of working about family, work and safety has weighed heavily on people's minds. Whilst navigating our way out is a slow process, dealing with the trauma and stress is likely to be an ongoing issue.  When we are stress or traumatised, we are generally no were near as productive as we would like to be in ANY part of our lives. In this episode I speak with Christi Garner, a US based Trauma Educator who utilises EDMR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, an interactive psychotherapy technique used to relive psychological stress in her practice to help clients deal with trauma and stress. To find out more about Christi visit www.traumaeducator.com To find out more about EDMR visit www.edmr.com https://youtu.be/xdujaYhsDcU Transcription Donna Hanson: Hello and welcome to this Expert Insights episode I'm Donna Hanson in this Expert Insights episode we speak with Christi Garner. Christi is a trauma educator who utilizes EMDR therapy for trauma resolution have to say that slowly. EMDR Therapy using interactive psychotherapy technique used to relieve psychological stress. It's an effective treatment for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. I know Christi does a lot of work with first responders and given more ease and what has been happening around the world with the code 19 pandemic. I was curious to find out more about EMDR. How it helps and how it can help everyday people deal with trauma or the impact of the fall at a pandemic brings to mental health. Hi Cristi. Thanks for coming on the show today. Christi Garner: Hey, Donna. Thanks for having me. Happy to be here. Donna Hanson: Before we start, how did you get into EMDR and can you explain a bit more about what it is. Christi Garner: Absolutely, so EMDR is eye movement desensitization reprocessing. And what that means is you move your eyes from side to side. So you stimulate the right and left side of your brain. Bilateral stimulation and a lady named Francine Shapiro came up with it and she says she was walking through Central Park in New York City, and she wasFeeling these memories and these thoughts about something that was really bothering her and had been going on for a while, and she noticed that she was walking. She kept looking from right to left and right to left and right to left. For a while, and then she sat down on a bench and she noticed she felt a whole lot better. And she was like maybe there's something to this whole thing. So she started experimenting. So I think it's been maybe 20 or 30 years since that day in the park and she's run lots of tests. And people use it all over the world for lots of different things, but mostly to decrease the effects of trauma in the body in mind after distressing events. Donna Hanson: And there's certainly a certainly a fair few of those going on at the moment, isn't It? Christi Garner: Yeah, absolutely. So I've been in town therapist for like 20 years working on the front lines with all sorts of people survivors and EMDR is kind of like what I call the most somatic natural therapy, so am EMDR uses your body's natural responses to help you move through the trauma. And I noticed or my 20 years of working that that is where people get the most relief is where they really tune in to the body's natural response for healing and I wanted to dive deeper into that. So I did some EMDR training and try that on myself and I was amazed at the results. So I became a therapist in it myself. Donna Hanson: So, it sounds to me like it's a bit like the psychological equivalent of your body self-healing when you cut it or something along those lines, but taking a more proactive approach rather than with your finger, it's, a natural healing process that just happens without any conscious thought

These concerns cross the minds of over 20 people every minute, over 28,800 people every day. And the sad fact is, we still don't talk about it enough. Healing from emotional abuse isn't a band-aid situation, but it doesn't have to take years either. The lives of millions of other survivors around the world have been impacted by their narcissist, yours doesn't have to. To show you how to live a free, confident and peaceful life, your host and founder of the Healing from Emotional Abuse Philosophy, Marissa F Cohen.   MARISSA: Overcoming narcissism and healing from emotional abuse are so important to your mental health and to living a life filled with freedom, confidence and peace. Today, we're going to be talking to Patrick Monet, who is a Trauma Informed Therapist, EMDR Therapist, and he's just hilarious. But before we start, I want to brainstorm ways that I can help ease your healing journey. Imagine you're standing on a cliff and on the other side of a deep, deep canyon is a life that you dream of. A partner who connects with you, supports you and empowers you, someone who makes you smile and laugh a life filled with freedom, confidence and peace. I have been where you are now, standing on the edge, dreaming of that life. And I've built the bridge between where you are now and that dream that seems so far away. Let me walk you across the bridge and literally hand you the life of your dreams. It's possible! I've walked this path with 1000s of survivors before who were in your place who now live a free, confident and peaceful life. Let's walk this path together. Don't waste any more time feeling lonely, worthless or exhausted. It's not worth it and you deserve to live a happy life. Schedule a call with me today at scheduleacallwithmarissa.com.   Welcome back to healing from emotional abuse. Today we have an awesome guest and we've been vibing for the past 10 minutes just chatting about Jewish guilt and Catholic guilt and being silly. So today we have Patrick Monette. He's a licensed mental health, addiction and certified trauma counselor, located in northern New York. He's also a certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant and trained couples counselor. He's got a great resume. His work focuses on helping people learn healthy coping skills and resourcing as part of their trauma treatment. He has taught at local universities and maintains a private practice focusing on couples work and trauma informed treatment, as well as gender issues, anger management and co-occurring disorders. He's actively engaged in a local community drug court system as a mental health consultant and educator. Patrick is fluent in English and Spanish and offers treatment in both languages. Welcome on Patrick. Jeez your work is great.   PATRICK: Thanks Marissa, I sound so fancy. So it's so nice, thank you. I'm so honored to be on your show and to connect with you. And I can't think of a better way to end a crazy week and then hanging out together. So I'm super excited to be here.   MARISSA: Thank you, I feel the exact same way. So would you mind outside of your intro just like telling us a little bit about yourself, what you do, what you enjoy...   PATRICK: So you know, as I was saying, it's like I'm pretty low key. So I'm in private practice. I'm a mental health counselor. And I love working with a variety of people. In my private practice, especially with COVID my practice is completely online. So I've been able to modify all that where I do individual therapy, group therapy. And I also started offering online couple retreats, which has been really powerful, which I really love. So EMDR is a trauma informed treatment, so I also work with that. I assistant in trainings and I also do a lot of consultation for people who are learning EMDR, which I just love as well. So it's a really nice blend of different professional experiences.   MARISSA: That's awesome. So I have heard so many positive things about EMDR therapy, and how it's helped sexual assault and domestic violence survivors. Would you mind just giving us like the very basic about what EMDR is?   PATRICK: Sure. So EMDR stands for Eye Movement De-sensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, which is a mouthful. It was created in the 80s by Dr. Francine Shapiro. And the basic version that I can say is that it helps to identify targets or issues that you've been struggling with whether it's specific trauma or disturbing events or upsetting events, that gets stuck in certain parts of your brain. And with EMDR interventions, we're able to help the brain communicate more efficiently to be able to take those disturbing events and make them more adaptive, so they're not causing you so much pain and harm. So you can be, I don't want to say move on, but so they're not harming you and as painful as they once were.   MARISSA: Wow, that's really awesome. I'm still not entirely understanding of like the intricacies of that.   PATRICK: So basically what happens is, for example, when you go about your regular day, and then you go home, and you rest, and you go into your REM sleep, your deep sleep, your brain is able to process everything that's happened during that day. So when you get up in the next day, you're like, okay, I had breakfast, we did this, we chatted, and then there isn't any distress really. When something traumatic happens, the brain cannot process it, it's almost like too big. If you think of it like a conveyor belt, that memory, that event is too big to go down into the other parts. So it gets lodged. And then it gets stuck on that part of the brain, which then leads into a whole bunch of other issues of, you know, when we're talking about PTSD, flashbacks, nightmares, other anxiety, depression. That's why a lot of people when they can't, quote-unquote, move past a trauma, they either develop anxiety, depression, I see a lot of people who develop addiction related issues, because they're trying to eradicate the pain.   MARISSA: That makes a lot more sense. Honestly, thinking about it as like a survivor, I feel like the most common immediate response is if I just stopped thinking about it, it'll go away. I want this to go away...   PATRICK: If I wash it away.    MARISSA: Time will make it go away, because that's not true. And so EMDR therapy breaks that down, and like allows your brain to process it. That is super cool.   PATRICK: So if you think of it, the trauma is like a giant iceberg in your brain, and then by doing what we call bilateral stimulation, which is a really natural intervention, it melts down that iceberg, and then it can go into the channel into your brain, where it doesn't make the event get erased, but you can move on with your life without being harpooned back to that pain anytime you might be potentially triggered or reminded of that event.   MARISSA: How long does it take generally, for somebody who has experienced severe domestic violence or sexual assault, to really be able to move forward using EMDR?   PATRICK: That's a great question. And it's really case by case because it depends on the severity of the attack, of the abuse, of the violence. Every person that I work with, when we say we're trauma informed care, that is, for me, it means we're taking this slow. Not because I want you to be in pain longer, but because safety has been bastardized in your life. We want to look at security, we want to do the safe and sound in the way of let's figure out what you are able to address, and what you actually need to work on. Because everyone needs different things. Sometimes it's guilt, anger, shame, it might be different aspects of their lives that are affected by the trauma. I just take my time to really see, build that strong therapeutic relationship with clients to see what is it that you actually want to work on? And let me see what I can do to support you on that. Now, when you get into the EMDR therapy itself, it's really a case by case scenario of everyone's individual brain processing. Of how how much EMDR they might need, how much time they need to process it. In addition to what I see is, are they still in the relationship? Are they still in a situation? Which is very different compared to if they're out, that freedom, it's all of those, if their basic needs are being met. So I kind of look at all these different components when I'm meeting with someone.   MARISSA: That makes a lot of sense. So in my mind, I saw it as a resource for after people leave, but people who are still in abusive relationships, they come and work with you too?    PATRICK: Yes, yes.    MARISSA: Do you know like, how it affects them? Or if doing EMDR has encouraged people to leave faster? Have you gotten that kind of response?    PATRICK: See, I think a lot of times, and I'm sure you've seen this with your own experiences and other people is there's that expectation sometimes that people when they're in those situations of just leave, turn it off. If it was that easy, it would be. But there's that deep emotional and psychological component going on when you're in those abusive and destructive situations. A lot of times what I've noticed with my people is when we're doing EMDR it's kind of like they're going through a snowstorm and we're giving them some additional support to get clarity. So when you're doing some other trauma informed care treatments, you have to talk about the trauma and you desensitize, you decrease the trauma. But with EMDR, you don't actually have to talk about it as much. You identify what the target is, what the problem is, and it's more about this beautiful journey of what do you believe about yourself? So, for example, when someone stays in that relationship, I'd say, so when you think of this abusive relationship, what is the negative belief that you're telling yourself? And being able to look at the negative beliefs, and help the clients just sort of build a little bit more resilience and clarity into what's going on. Because when you're in those situations, there's usually such a high level of psychological damage going on, that you don't even know who you are sometimes.   MARISSA: That is so true. And that's something that I also identify in my coaching is that you lose yourself in abuse, because they program you to feel differently than you might actually feel and take away the aspects of your life and of your identity, that might be very personal to you. Wow, that's really, really cool. I'm so happy that that exists, and that that's getting more clout, and more attention now.    So let's get off the EMDR topic, although I could talk about this with you all day, because I think it's awesome. We were having a separate conversation before we started about guilt, and how guilt in different religions plays a role in just how people interact. But specifically what I want to talk about, because you come from a Catholic upbringing, is how Christianity and how Catholicism view abuse, and the guilt of staying in an abusive situation.   PATRICK: It's so hard because most of us grew up to believe, you know, if we grew up in a belief system, that that's supposed to be our protection. That that's where we're supposed to be safe. But the more [audio break 12:02] there is, and a lot of these situations, and how that division of power is used. We're in a religious system.   MARISSA: That makes sense. And I can speak from Judaism. I'm not Hasidic or religious really, but in very Hasidic communities, which Catholicism in my opinion is like a more religious aspect of Christianity, and I could be very incorrect, so please correct me if I'm wrong. But in Hasidic communities, they don't go outside of their community at all. Everybody takes their questions and their problems to the Rabbi, to the head Rabbi, he's the person in charge. So in domestic violence in Hasidic communities, the Rabbi is the one who gets to say, well, what are you doing to anger your husband? Or what are you doing wrong? You, the wife, generally, are the peacemaker in the household and so you need to be the one fixing the problem.   PATRICK: I don't want to generalize, I can only speak to my experience in certain things. I grew up where about sinning and when you make that vow in the Catholic Church, it's forever and all these different things. But I've also seen where there's that abusive thing of, you're going to disappoint God by ending this marriage or by leaving it, or look at the damage, it's a lot of victim blaming.    MARISSA: That's a good way to put it.    PATRICK: And that shame, I mean, not even talking about guilt, let's latch on to that shame of you're letting God down. You put that on top of someone who's being abused in every aspect of abuse that there is, and it's such a deadly cocktail. I've also seen people, amazing advocates in the Catholic Church. It's hard because during the last few years if we're going to keep it real, the coming to light about all the abuse in the Catholic Church towards children. So it's really like a mushroom of different issues right?   MARISSA: Yeah. I mean, I definitely see your point. I mean, it's a person by person conversation. So there are some rabbis who'd be like, get out. And there are some rabbits would be like, no, you stay, this is your problem. And I'm sure it's the same thing with priests and pastors and everybody, it's a very person by person basis.   PATRICK: What I have seen in some experiences with clients is sometimes they get into those situations where they are blamed. You're not praying hard enough, you're not doing this. And I'm a person of faith, I love God. It's a huge part of my -- I don't identify as Catholic. I'm more spiritual, but there is a place for prayer and there's a place for action and therapy.    MARISSA: Yes.   PATRICK: And I think they can dance really well, too. I mean, in my life they have, but in other people, it's hard because there's such abuse in the spiritual world and or in the religious world. I always go to is like, if this doesn't feel right, it's probably not right for me.   MARISSA: That's a good way to look at it. And I think that a lot of religion is kind of just how you consume it and how you process it. Because there's different sects of every religion that read the same texts, but just observe differently. And so when it comes to trauma, and it comes to domestic violence, because it's a private issue, people don't really know how to handle it. So a lot of people turn to religion. I guess my biggest concern with that is because the text is susceptible to being --  like you can read it and understand it a different way.   PATRICK: The interpretation, and it's usually not in favor of women or anyone that's not  a like white male. In my experiences, I could be wrong of the view, but it's...   MARISSA: I tend to agree with that.   PATRICK: It's like come on, we got to keep it real. Things have to evolve. And one of the things is, whether it's religion or not, is that shame and the secrecy that is so damaging to people who are experiencing violence and abuse.   MARISSA: And then if you if you interpret the text in a way that in order for you to leave, your partner needs to have cheated on you or asked for a divorce. That's so limiting, because in my opinion, and I could be wrong, but I don't think God or Jesus or Allah, like anyone, I don't think that being wants you to be unhappy or in a dangerous position. And so by looking at the text and saying point blank, no, you can't leave until that person asks to leave or until that person leaves, that's so dangerous.   PATRICK: Right. And it also takes away freewill choice, which that's part of the human experience.   MARISSA: Right. But I think that the religion, like when people interpret it that way, it consumes their whole life and they're not able to act on freewill...   PATRICK: Agreed, that they're supposed to sacrifice for the greater good in a way. Even though that version of the greater good may not be accurate or really true or loving.   MARISSA: Right, absolutely. So let's go back to your professional experience, you don't just do EMDR, you also do Addiction Therapy and Trauma Informed Therapies and stuff like that. So how often do you see like an overlap in other areas that probably stemmed from abuse or sexual assault, especially with addiction?   PATRICK: I would say, if I even like made it a little bit broader, if we just put in terms of trauma in general, I would say, probably like 98% of people that come in my door have some aspect of trauma.   MARISSA: Wow!   PATRICK: I think when we classify trauma it used to be 9-11, it used to be Vets. It used to be very specific populations. But the word trauma actually means a wound. So if you changed trauma for wound, how many people do we know that are wounded?    MARISSA: Everybody. Everybody has experiences that shaped them.   PATRICK: From COVID, to sexual assaults, a physical assault, to addiction to a million different things, to losing a job, to losing a child, to losing a relationship. And I think when you're doing trauma informed care, you have that broad view of this person has strength, they have resilience, because they've survived but there's some injuries, there's some wounds there, and maybe I can help them find ways to mend it and to move forward in a healthier way.   MARISSA: If there was one thing like one routine change, or one small activity that people could add to their daily routines that might alleviate some of that, do you have any like recommendations? Or do you have like any ideas of maybe something that you've done with other people?   PATRICK: This is going to sound funny, but I have clients ask them what they're feeling. Because how many of us are disconnected from our emotions? And if I don't have a relationship with my emotions, I'm probably not going to get very far.    MARISSA: That's very fair.    PATRICK: So it's just a check in throughout the day of how am I feeling right now? How am I feeling? And not having to necessarily do anything, but to develop our awareness. Because when we don't deal with our emotions, when we don't have a healthy relationship with them, it's sort of like building a house on top of swamp land, it's probably not going to go very well.   MARISSA: That makes so much sense. Just like becoming more self aware allows us to recognize and work through something that we need to process in that moment.   PATRICK: Right. And it sounds simple, like oh, that's not really profound. But if we put it through the lens of someone who's gone through something traumatic, a lot of times people, all of their energy is to avoid all the emotions. Because it's not safe. It's painful. It's scary. Like you said, you just want to forget it. So you want me to talk about my feelings, that could be opening up a barrel of monkeys, that's really dangerous.   MARISSA: I think that that's something that's a really important thing to do is be able to check in. But what do you recommend starting doing that while in a therapy session, or with somebody who's licensed who might be able to help somebody through it? Because I know that right after my abuse, if I was trying to do a check-in, I probably would have like, launched myself off a bridge and I'm not saying that to be funny. Like I would have tried to attempt suicide.   PATRICK: Definitely! And when I'm working with someone, especially with EMDR there are very specific techniques that I teach clients, almost every client, of how to help improve their emotional regulations that -- going back to the brain function, that helped them sort of develop ways to ride those waves of emotion instead of being drowned by them. So definitely reaching out for help, someone that can be there for you that's objective that can give you specific skills to improve your emotional functioning.   [OUTRO] If you enjoyed this podcast, you have to check out www.marisafayecohen.com/private-coaching.

Dr. Deborah Korn is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and an adjunct training faculty member at the Trauma Research Foundation in Boston. Dr. Korn is a senior faculty member at the EMDR Institute where she has been on staff for the past 28 years. She is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and serves on the editorial board of the Journal of EMDR Practice and Research. EMDRIA is the organization focused on promoting, fostering, and preserving the highest standards of excellence and integrity in EMDR research, treatment, and education both in United States and internationally. Dr. Korn has authored, or coauthored numerous articles and chapters focused on EMDR therapy, including comprehensive reviews of EMDR applications with Complex PTSD. Her most recent book chapter, written with the developer of EMDR, Dr. Francine Shapiro, is included in the second edition of Treating Complex Traumatic Stress Disorders in Adults, which was published in 2020. I encourage everyone to check out her new book Every Memory Deserves Respect: EMDR, the Proven Trauma Therapy with the Power to Heal, co-written with Michael Baldwin, a trauma survivor and EMDR client (not her own).   EMDR, a memory-focused psychotherapy developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980's, is now recognized in the treatment guidelines of organizations around the world as a top-tier, evidence-based treatment for PTSD.  The theory or model that guides EMDR therapy is the Adaptive Information Processing Model (AIP Model).  It proposes that psychological problems are due to a failure to adequately process traumatic experiences to a point of “adaptive resolution”. During EMDR sessions, the client attends to emotionally disturbing material in brief sequential doses while simultaneously focusing on some form of external stimulation. Therapist-directed lateral eye movements are the most frequently used external stimulus but a variety of other stimuli, including hand-tapping and audio stimulation, are also used.  Research also supports EMDR's effectiveness with other problems not obviously trauma-related—depression, anxiety, psychosis, pain, obsessive compulsive disorder, substance abuse.  It can be used to treat people dealing with single traumatic events as well as those dealing with a history of prolonged, repeated exposure to trauma in childhood or as an adult.  It is used with people of all ages and can be administered, individually or in groups, immediately after an acute traumatic episode.  A recent meta-analysis found that EMDR was not only clinically effective but also the most cost-effective of the eleven trauma therapies evaluated in the treatment of adults with PTSD (Mavranezouli et al., 2020).

Paul and Bill discuss some of the ways in which human minds go wrong. Paul wonders aloud whether the state of spiritual disconnection called "original sin" is specifically manifested in the ways parents relate, or don't relate, to children and the problems that follow from that for the rest of our lives. We discuss Henri Nouwen (a little) and Eckhart Tolle (a little more) and his ideas on how enlightenment has cropped up here and there throughout history but gets suffocated by social conformism. Paul and Bill discussed a number of resources for pondering the nature of sin and how it affects our lives—as well as how people act based on their perceptions of sin in themselves and others. Without the Church’s wisdom and reliance on Christ’s grace, behaviors based on a misunderstanding or dismissal of sinfulness can distort our lives as individuals, in our minds and hearts, as well as our lives in society. The co-hosts concluded that we need to invest time throughout our lives to discern how sin—and a need for forgiveness and grace which is poorly grasped in secular society—in integrated in our mental and spiritual health. We cannot just set aside the matter of original sin and our ongoing inclination toward evil. We tapped into the Catechism of the Catholic Church, especially the paragraphs around #400 and beyond, for guidance to sort this out. Such guidance is important in countless cases, such as reflection on Jesus’ teaching on separating the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25. We discussed The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker. Paul spoke of being pointed toward books by Henry Nouwen and commentary by Eckhart Tolle, a popular proponent of new-age syncretism with echoes of Christianity and Buddhism. He also spoke of exploring life-solutions propounded in EMDR therapy. He mentioned having found useful insights when exploring that therapy through Francine Shapiro’s Getting Past Your Past.

Most of what weighs us down isn’t ours to carry. Various life events cause us to build up barriers to experiencing our true selves, and this can claim our power as individuals. This is particularly so if we've experienced trauma (i.e. everyone). Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing or EMDR is a powerful form of psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro in the 1990s in which one is asked to recall distressing images; the therapist then directs you in one type of bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements or hand tapping. The process is aimed to replicate the natural phenomenon of eye movement that occurs during dream or REM sleep which allows us to process experiences and in this instance 'stuck' memories. Lucinda Gordon Lennox is one of the top EMDR therapists in London. She helps people who present with either specific traumatic events that they wish to heal, or with troubling feelings that are hindering everyday life, or both, in order that they can shed what no longer serves them, discover their true selves, and fully sit in their power. In this conversation we discuss what EMDR is, how it works, how it heals, and whether its right for you or anyone you know that's dealing with unprocessed experiences.

The two discuss EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing; the work of Francine Shapiro, Ph.D), and somatic experiencing (the healing work of Peter Levine, Ph.D) as examples of how to release the nervous system's automatic response to triggers that resemble old and scary stimuli.

EMDR is a form of psychotherapy which works for many sufferers of post-traumatic stress disorder. The 'eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing' technique was first developed in the USA in the late 1980s by Francine Shapiro. She set up an EMDR Institute and Ashley Byrne has been speaking to psychologist Dr Gerald Puk, one of its senior trainers. (Picture: a model looking downwards. Credit: Getty Images.)

“You are entitled to know that two entities occupy your body. One of these entities is motivated by and responds to the impulse of fear. The other is motivated by and responds to the impulse of faith. Will you be guided by faith or will you allow fear to overtake you?” ― Napoleon Hill, Outwitting the Devil: The Secret to Freedom and Success EMDR therapy was discovered by accident by Francine Shapiro, Ph.D while walking in a park when "she realized that eye movements appeared to decrease the negative emotion associated with her own distressing memories. She assumed that eye movements had a desensitizing effect, and when she experimented with this she found that others also had the same response to eye movements. It became apparent however that eye movements by themselves did not create comprehensive therapeutic effects and so Shapiro added other treatment elements, including a cognitive component, and developed a standard procedure that she called Eye Movement Desensitization (EMD). (From History of EMDR) On this episode, I discuss how part of my personal journey of self discovery has included healing from trauma. This led me to try EMDR therapy which yielded not only the healing I always believed was possible, but to a discovery about the nature of mind itself. That discovery completely changed the way I see the relationship between the mind, body, soul and spirit and even my idea of who we are underneath it all.

It is typically geared toward significant emotional dysregulation but was originally designed for borderline personality disorder. It has various other applications, including PTSD, anxiety, as well as eating disorders. There are many misconceptions about what psychological trauma is and how it comes about. The sound effects just played are attention grabbing, but as we all can attest after listening to an air raid siren, real combat noise, a tsunami crash and others, rescue sirens and the like, our emotions kick in immediately, removing our ability to think rationally, even for a brief moment, perhaps conjuring up images of a previous life experience. But as we will learn in this podcast, trauma and PTSD is often due to events in life that don’t involve gunfire or ambulance sirens. Bullying, job failures, relationship issues, and other interpersonal conflicts. In fact, these minor traumas or secondary traumatic experiences can indeed be quite debilitating, and until DBT, many therapy modalities have not been as effective.  Chapter 1: What is trauma and how does it present itself? Well, PTSD can present in a lot of people and in different ways. There are many people who have experienced varying degrees of trauma, such as bullying or other emotional traumas i.e. abuse and major life events. Not just war veterans or near death experiences. Trauma is really anything that has a long lasting effect on your psyche. Secondary trauma is not uncommon either, especially if you experience death and tragedy in your job regularly, such is the case in firefighters, paramedics, police officers, nurses, etc. What happens in the brain? Trauma memories are stored in different ways than other regular memories. They’re stored fragmentally. The memory is stored in the emotion center of the brain, and the reemergence of the memory tends to cause an emotional response, often irrational. Somatic complaints and findings are common, such as sweating, pain and headaches. It would be prudent for the evaluating provider in this case, especially in the absence of other diagnoses, to ask about trauma in the patient’s life. When faced with a traumatic experience, our prefrontal cortex goes off-line, and therefore language is booted out of the experience. Resultantly, trauma becomes “stuck” in our brains, in general terms. We must then learn to reconnect our language and reasoning with the trauma memory, because those memories were never really processed. Avoidance behavior tends to take place with regard to anything dealing with the experience or circumstances related to the trauma. Marsha Linehan, who developed DBT, was a teaching psychologist at Washington State, and she was recognizing that CBT itself was not working, especially on borderline personality disorder patients. Essentially, it is designed to treat people who are very difficult to treat with other approaches, including the many facets that may go with these clients, such as multiple psychiatric diagnoses, joblessness, relationship issues, substance abuse and financial woes. She broke down and researched mindfulness into 6 different sections. It turns out, clients who tend to do well with DBT are the ones who present to emergency departments frequently, especially patients who are in the suicidality-hospitalization cycle that we see quite commonly. Substance use and abuse is also common in these people, because drugs and alcohol help to repress those traumatic memories and feelings. Patients with somatic complaints and no physiologic explanation, and with a history of trauma, stand to benefit from DBT. Chapter 2: While the treatment of trauma can be confusing frightening for patients, Julie and Laura discuss the organized, stage-oriented approach to treating and helping people suffering with PTSD, using the 4 stages of DBT. The first stage of DBT involves getting behaviors under control, and minimizing life threatening behaviors, substance use disorder, hostility toward others as well as the thoughts that lead to those behaviors. Improvement of this for at least three months is desired, before moving to the next stage. Essentially, stablizing the situation overall, so that a foundation can be laid for even beginning to deal with the traumatic experience. TIDBT or “trauma informed” DBT groups deal with enhancing the awareness of what brings on these emotions associated with a traumatic experience, and to help uncover what the original trauma was that causes these feelings and behaviors. Stage 2 of DBT tends to deal with PTSD treatment. This stage is a big one. Emotional experiencing and exposure to stressful situations begins in this stage. The beginning of processing this trauma is happening in this stage. Things get hard in this stage. Cognitive restructuring happens in this stage, and we can begin to properly file these memories. Reduction of suffering by exposing clients to the event repetitively is done in this stage as well. This is a weekly meeting for about 90 minutes at a time. Prolonged exposure or EMDR are employed in this stage. Can the client talk about their trauma? We need to determine whether they can begin this process by gauging where the person is at with the mere mention of the trauma. Sometimes people need to stay in a DBT modality for a long time before moving into stage 2. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is a relatively new treatment modality that brings the client back to the worst part of the trauma. It involves following visual or audible bilateral brain stimulation. This was developed by Francine Shapiro. The following of visual or auditory situmli moving back and forth engages both hemispheres of the brain, and sets forth a path of engaging of a feeling or sense of the trauma, and then setting forth an alignment of the memory that leads to processing of the trauma. Right-Left brain stimulation essentially creates a panormaic orientation of the traumatic memory by filling-in the areas of the brain that store the more rational memories of the experience. There are 8 stages to EMDR treatment. Some sessions last longer than others, depending on the degree and longetvity of the trauma. Moving from the DBT prolonged exposure for PTSD involves also tape recording themselves talking about the trauma, in a series often, and then practicing her DBT skills while listening to the recording, and focusing on the intense “hot spots” during the recording. Dissociation is not uncommon in PTSD clients, especially if the trauma was significant. In other words, the client may seem entirely different throughout the process. In this case, there is a need to persistently and consistently recenter the client into the present moment, in order to confront the traumatic experience. Stage 3 involves working toward “life worth living” goals. Going back to work or back to school is addressed here. Much of this is done as an outpatient but not intensive outpatient, which is what stages 1 and 2 are done in. Housing and parameters that involve skills that let us live through our daily ups and downs while keeping an eye on the life long goals. Stage 4 involves spirtual enlightenment and connecting with a higher sense of self. Not everyone goes through this stage. Sometimes people will be guided to this if there is still something missing. Confronting our trauma and demons is hard. A lot of people don’t recognize it or have completely submerged it in their psyche, and we know that chronic pain, fibromyalgia and other painful somatization is associated with a deeper emotional trauma in one’s life. Many feel stigmatized and afraid of being labeled with a diagnosis. Sometimes people want to minimize their “little T” trauma because of embarrassment of the trauma itself, or perhaps it’s not a big enough trauma. But let’s face it, who wants to retrace some pretty ugly steps we have walked in this life, whether they happened to us, or whether we had a hand in causing them. Escapism is all too available to us in western society. Diversions that help us avoid confronting and dealing with these hard truths in our lives. Substance use and abuse is the obvious, immediate but unfortunately destructive diversion that so many lean on. If we can first take an inventory of how people are feeling: loss of sleep, panic attacks and somatization, we can then be led toward the truth of the matter in that trauma of some sort was the impetus, in some cases. Pain in general, fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndromes, in many cases are associated with an emotional traumatic experience in someone’s life. While many will struggle their entire lives with PTSD, whether it is due to a major event or a series of smaller traumatic experiences, there is help. DBT, and the multiphase approache to recognizing and tackling this disorder have shown great promise. And this service is something we should all consider for our patients when appropriate. Special thanks to Julie Morin and Laura Anderson today for joining us and extending their knowledge of PTSD treatment to all of us.

 Hey everyone!  Have you heard about EMDR and were wondering what it is or how it might be able to help you?  In this episode I interview Jeremy Fox of Fox EMDR.  Jeremy is a totally badass up and coming therapist who specializes in EMDR trauma treatment.  In this episode learn the 10 things Jeremy loves about EMDR and listen to him dispell some common myths about EMDR. Jeremy remembers watching the Matrix for the first time and observing how seamlessly the characters entered and exited the Matrix itself, which was a world of perception and sensation, devoid of any reality or time orientation. Wherever a telephone was present, Morpheus, Neo or Trinity could "jack in," attuning to the Matrix through its distinct signal. It didn't matter the venue used to enter the Matrix, as long as the signal was acquired and maintained. The Matrix, with its convincing falsification of reality, serves as a superb metaphor for trauma itself: a set of sensory experiences which represent a bygone era, accurate at the time of encoding, but unhelpful and even damaging to present functioning. With this in mind, treating trauma via Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is similar to entering the Matrix, as only the "signal" of trauma (somatic/sensory memory) is necessary, for "locking on" and desensitizing traumatic experience. Whether a memory assumes the form of a sight, sound, smell, taste, or tactile recollection, the floatback ("think back to original memory") or affect scan ("feel/sense back to original memory") EMDR exercises may "lock on" to specific traumatic experiences, allowing the EMDR standard protocol to desensitize and reprocess them (Hensley, 2016, p. 204-205). Do You Struggle with Anxiety?  Get Dr. Teralyn's FREE Cheat Sheet "Top 3 Ways to Kick Anxiety Today" CLICK HEREJust as a professional runner's exit from the Matrix proved sudden and serendipitous, within the Animatrix film, Dr. Francine Shapiro's discovery of EMDR proved similarly spontaneous. In the Animatrix (a supplemental animated movie to the core Matrix trilogy), a sprinting athlete strides with such force and speed that he strains the Matrix program, awakening in the real world. In 1987, Dr. Francine Shapiro inadvertently recognized that, as she walked in a park, thinking of emotionally distressing material, her eyes spontaneously moved in a saccadic (left and right) pattern, which significantly decreased her distress (Hensley, 2016). With that fateful event, Shapiro's journey toward systematizing EMDR began.  Across Jeremy's 4 years of experience with EMDR, first as a basic-trained clinician, and now as an EMDR-certified therapist, he has enjoyed the distinct honor of observing clients with a multitude of clinical disorders and syndromes overcome their traumatic memories and accomplish new goals once thought impossible. Next, he shares 8 attributes of EMDR that he personally finds inspiring and exciting, followed by 5 misconceptions. Tune in and listen to the full interview.  You will be glad you did!Subscribe & Review in iTunesAre you subscribed to my podcast?

Episode 48:  EMDR Therapy: Helping Children Move Past the Tough Stuff In This Episode:     Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, also known as EMDR, is an effective, research and evidence-based therapy that helps free people from painful memories, anxiety, intrusive thoughts and other disturbances from exposure to trauma or especially disturbing situations.  And, it works with children too.  In my experience, it often takes less time to notice changes because often children have less tough memories due to their young age, as compared with older clients. When exposed to traumatic events, our minds may not fully understand and process the magnitude of the situation due to the scenario at hand its overwhelming nature.  When I mention trauma, I want you to think of it as in “Big T trauma for the big stuff such as witness a crime, etc” and “Little t trauma such as being called a name by a peer, etc” This lack of processing of traumatic events thoroughly can show itself in a debilitating psychological/emotional state of distress. With kids, it can look like night terrors, bedwetting, behavior issues, anxiety, depression, and so on.  This state of distress can result in a feeling of being “emotionally stuck”. EMDR Therapy can help with symptoms of distress from living with disorders such as Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADHD), Restless Leg Syndrome, Phantom Leg Syndrome, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), Eating Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety, Depression, Tourettes Syndrome, Bed-Wetting, Emotional Regulation Issues, Behavior Concerns, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Eating Disorders, Disassociative Identity Disorder (DID), and much more. EMDR therapy basically stimulates the mind into reprocessing the events, facilitates resolve from within the person experiencing it, and lessens the emotional impact of the memories. Even if the memories are from before the person can remember it with their thoughts.  We actually have memories from up to 3 months in utero that can sometimes stay stuck as emotional memories.  EMDR can free individuals from painful memories and empower them to live more fully in the present.  This is especially important with our kids, as staying stuck in trauma can impact their development in so many ways.  Sometimes, the effect of trauma is misdiagnosed as ADHD since it can leave people feeling distracted, unable to focus and fidgety from anxiety. EMDR is a therapeutic “tool” that can be used in therapy to help our clients overcome barriers to normal functioning, and ultimately, to their happiness.  I love using it with kids!  Also, EMDR has been shown to alleviate anxiety and depression, which can leave children and their loved ones feeling emotionally anguish.  Anxiety and depression can look very different for children than it does adults.  Many of my clients have engaged in some type of self-harm, such as cutting, skin picking etc… and EMDR is one of my go-to tools to help them.  There are so many ways that it can be performed.  With younger kids, I love integrating it with Play Therapy.  As a part of the therapy, I have the client identify a negative thought about themselves, notice what they are feeling in their body and provide stimulation to either side of the body by having them move their eyes back and forth (usually with finger puppets or moving a car back and forth), or holding on to buzzers while often wearing earphones that alternate soft beeping in either ear that help desensitize what their feeling and reprocess it into something healthier.  For example, a negative thought maybe “I am a bad person” and the reprocessed thought maybe “I’m good enough just as I am.”  The healing can be profound. Memories of negative events, whether big T or little t traumas, for children it can be a death, divorce, car accident, fight, etc. can become painfully fragmented into other events resulting in limited enjoyment of life activities.  Often it may manifest into anger, depression, chemical dependency, impulsive disorders, eating disorders, anxiety, phobias, relationship issues, and more.  Through the brain stimulation created from EMDR therapy, clients can reprocess traumatic events or negative thoughts, and eventually become desensitized to the painful memories that are often at the root of emotional troubles. I love using the audible app.  Through Audible, I have read Francine Shapiro’s book “Getting Past Your Past” 5 times so far.  That book is wonderful at explaining EMDR in a way that helps people understand how it works and what it works on.  Francine Shapiro created EMDR Therapy back in the 80s and it is getting more and more well known each day.  In the show notes, I’ve linked sites where you can find an EMDR therapist in your area.  It’s good stuff, whether you use it for you or your child. I remember that quote “Hurt People, Hurt People” that I first heard in an Addiction class.  When we can free our kids and ourselves from pain, we not only improve our own lives but improve the lives of others around us for years to come.    http://www.emdrhap.org/content/ www.playtherapycommunity.com http://liferecoveryconsulting.com/ Below Are Some Affiliate Links to Books/Products That I Love   Jackie’s Favorite Labryinths (Discounted Price) Weighted Blankets by Mosaic http://arttherapy.org http://counselinginbrevard.com/art-therapy/ http://intuitivecreativity.typepad.com/expressiveartinspirations/self-expression-therapy-activities.html       If you’d like to connect with me, I offer consultation and parent coaching support.  Just email me at jackie@jackieflynnconsulting.com or at my private practice at jackie@counselinginbrevard.com www.parentingintherain.com www.jackieflynnconsulting.com www.counselinginbrevard.com  https://www.facebook.com/groups/parentingintherain/

False Memory

We explore the concept of false memory, particularly in the context of sexual abuse allegations, and discuss how, less than half a century ago, sexual abuse and incest were taboo topics, with experts believing they were rare. This perception was shattered in the late 1980s when research indicated that sexual abuse was widespread, with one in three women being victimized, often by family members. This revelation led many women to come forward, sometimes with newly recalled memories of abuse. However, over time, some of these memories have been questioned as possibly being false. Meredith Maran, author of the memoir “My Lie: A True Story of False Memory,” discusses how the intense focus on recovering buried memories during the 1980s and 1990s led to what some call the “memory wars.” She explains that false memory is a term coined by parents accused of abuse, not a medical term. Maran emphasizes the unreliability of memory, particularly under suggestion, and reflects on how some accusations may have been based on false memories. Dr. Francine Shapiro, Senior Research Fellow at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California, and developer of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), also contributes to the discussion. Shapiro describes how EMDR helps patients access and process memories without judgment and stresses the importance of corroborating recovered memories due to their fallibility. We also explore the difficulties survivors face in distinguishing true memories from false ones and the broader implications of false memories in historical contexts, such as the Salem witch trials and recent political events.

Mental Help Net (www.mentalhelp.net) presents the Wise Counsel Podcast (wisecounsel.mentalhelp.net), hosted by David Van Nuys, Ph.D. "Francine Shapiro, Ph.D. on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)", posted December 1, 2007. Dr. Van Nuys interviews Francine Shapiro, Ph.D., the founder of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy or EMDR. EMDR is a very new form of therapy, dating back only to 1987. It is related to Systematic Desensitization, a technique drawn from behavior therapy, but represents an expansion or evolution of that earlier technique such that EMDR is now a quite distinct therepeutic approach. According to EMDR, emotional problems as well as disturbing beliefs are caused by the activation of old, disturbing memories, and if you can reprocess those memories so as to make them less troubling and disturbing, you will reduce or eliminate the emotional problems and beliefs they cause. Reprocessing of disturbing memories occurs while patients access their memories while engaged in eye-movement and similar reprocessing techniques.

The Trauma Therapist | Podcast with Guy Macpherson, PhD | Inspiring interviews with thought-leaders in the field of trauma.

Esly Regina Carvalho, Ph.D., is a Brazilian-American clinical psychologist who maintained a private practice in the Dallas area where she grew up for many years before her return to Brazil in 2006 and where she now directs the TraumaClinic in Brasilia, Brazil, and spends extended time training EMDR professionals in that country. She was trained in EMDR in the US (1996-7) and eventually became and Trainer of Trainers with the EMDR Institute. Since her return to her native country, over 3000 EMDR therapists have been trained through the efforts of her team. EMDR training is offered in over twenty cities in Brazil, as well as advanced courses. Esly served the first two terms as EMDR Iberoamérica (EMDR IBA) president (2007-2010/2010-2013), the regional EMDR association for Latin America. Her first training approach was in Psychodrama and Esly was approved, with distinction, as a Trainer, Educator and Practitioner by the American Board of Examiners in Psychodrama in the US. She was also honored as a Fellow of the American Society for Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama. Due to her husband’s duties, Esly lived in many countries in Latin America: Ecuador, Bolivia, and then in Colorado Spring, Dallas, and finally Brazil. She is a native speaker of English and Portuguese, and speaks and trains in Spanish as well. An international trainer and speaker in great demand, Esly has published books and articles about the use of EMDR and the integration of Psychodrama. She has been presenting workshops in the US more recently, with the Creative EMDR protocols she developed and teaches practical ways for EMDR therapists to help their clients. Her commitment is to help people overcome the challenges of life, so often brought on by traumas and adverse experiences. Esly married a Canadian widower 28 years ago, who was raised in China and spent 30 years in Ecuador; she has a grown daughter who recently moved to Canada after doing a Ph.D in the US, also a clinical psychologist; and Esly loves those grandchildren!
