It becomes I'm good or I'm okay, and so they don't. So once we get through these first three phases, we get to the desensitization phase, and that's what people typically think of as EMDR.
Imagine a therapy that helps you process trauma by simply moving your eyes. In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind chats with Kay Simmeth, a Marriage and Family Therapist certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This unique therapy uses bilateral stimulation—think tapping, listening to alternating sounds, or feeling vibrations—to activate both sides of the brain.
By doing so, it allows individuals to access the parts of their brain where trauma is stored and shift negative beliefs into positive ones. Kay breaks down the 8-phase process of EMDR, focusing on how it helps clients 'melt' their trauma. The trauma doesn’t disappear but becomes less intense and more manageable. Kay explains how EMDR isn't a quick fix but offers a structured way to handle deeply rooted issues.
If you or someone you care about is grappling with trauma, this episode sheds light on an innovative approach that could make a significant difference.
