87. How EMDR Therapy Heals Trauma When Nothing Else Can

Original air date March 25, 2024

I'm so happy to share this conversation to shed some light on another tool for your mental wellness toolkit. EMDR is an evidence-based, memory-focused trauma treatment, which Michael Baldwin says saved his life. This revolutionary method can yield significant progress in just a single session, compared to years of talk therapy.

Baldwin instigated a collaboration with renowned trauma therapist Deborah Korn, PsyD, on an eye-catching, inspirational book on EMDR, Every Memory Deserves Respect—his way of throwing a lifeline to other trauma survivors. EMDR has become a go-to treatment for PTSD as well as depression and other stress-related disorders.

WE COVERED:

• The scope of trauma, from "little t" to "Big T" and how it can go unrecognized for decades- everything from a bad breakup to physical abuse can create an emotional wound that will eventually need healing
• The mind is wired to heal emotional trauma in the same way the body is wired to heal us physically, once we have the right tools in place
• How EMDR differs from other types of therapy
• What a typical EMDR session feels like
• Who is a good candidate for EMDR
