Healing Trauma: Gus Murray's Insights on EMDR Therapy

Trauma is not what happened in the past, it's what continues to be living in us and we're living as if the past is still in the present. We charge up and we either want to escape or we want to fight back.
Ever wondered how certain therapies can help heal deep-seated trauma? In this episode of 'The Two Norries', James Leonard and Timmy Long sit down with Gus Murray, an EMDR European Accredited Trainer and Consultant with over two decades of experience. Gus dives into the world of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, sharing how it can be a game-changer for those grappling with trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges.
Gus has a knack for making complex topics accessible, and his dynamic training style shines through as he explains the nuts and bolts of EMDR. One key takeaway is the importance of building a secure therapeutic relationship. Without trust and safety, any therapy can fall short. Gus emphasizes that EMDR therapy aims to establish this solid foundation, paving the way for deeper healing. The conversation also touches on the limitations of traditional talk therapy.
While talking can be beneficial, it sometimes fails to address trauma stored in the body. That's where EMDR steps in, incorporating physical movements to help process these buried experiences. But that's not all. The episode explores complementary approaches like neurofeedback, giving listeners a holistic view of recovery tools. By blending these methods, individuals can find more comprehensive paths to healing. Whether you're new to EMDR or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Tune in to discover how EMDR therapy can support your journey towards recovery and well-being.
