Embracing Every Emotion: Natasha Vayner on Radical Acceptance & EMDR
Anything is welcome. There’s space for feeling, for thoughts, and there’s space for anger–really anything.
Imagine if you could welcome every emotion, even the tough ones. That's the idea behind radical acceptance, a concept that Natasha Vayner, LCSW, passionately discusses in this episode of 'Finding Help'. Natasha dives into how this practice can transform lives by making room for all feelings—yes, even anger. She shares her journey from discovering radical acceptance through Tara Brach's work to integrating it into her therapy sessions.
Natasha believes that by fully experiencing our emotions, we can expand our capacity to think, feel, and simply be. But that's not all. Natasha also sheds light on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a technique she uses to help clients process trauma. She explains how EMDR allows clients to say and feel things they never thought possible, all with the clinician's support.
This episode isn't just about techniques; it's about finding the right therapist who can guide you on your path to healing. Whether you're curious about radical acceptance or looking for new ways to deal with past traumas, Natasha's insights offer a compassionate and practical approach to emotional well-being.
