I feel really grateful that every week we get to meet interesting people and have good conversations, and everybody that has come on has been here.
Ever wondered how trauma and addiction intertwine, or how therapy can help untangle them? James Leonard and Timmy Long, the hosts of 'The Two Norries', dive into this very topic in their latest episode. Broadcasting from the heart of north-west Cork city, these two are not just podcast hosts; they're storytellers and advocates, deeply invested in mental health and recovery.
In this episode, they shine a spotlight on EMDR therapy – that's Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for those new to the term. It's a fascinating method that helps people process and heal from traumatic experiences. James and Timmy explore how EMDR can be particularly beneficial for those grappling with addiction and ADHD, offering a glimmer of hope for those feeling stuck in their past.
They also touch on the impact of living in hostile environments and how it shapes one's mental health. The duo shares their excitement about joining Tortoise Shack, a well-known Irish media group, which promises to bring even more enriching conversations to their listeners. Whether you're someone struggling with addiction, a supporter of someone who is, or just curious about mental health therapies, this episode is packed with valuable insights and heartfelt discussions.
