EMDR therapy can help people recover from trauma by getting their brain to realize that, even though a bad thing happened, right now they are perfectly safe.
Ever wondered how trauma therapy can aid in addiction recovery? In this episode of Recovery Nuggets, host David Clemen chats with Dr. Laura Schmuldt, an EMDR therapist from Eastern North Carolina. Dr. Laura delves into the mechanics of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, explaining how it helps individuals reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled setting.
This method is particularly effective for those battling alcohol and drug addiction, as it addresses the root traumas that often fuel substance abuse. Dr. Laura paints a vivid picture of what an EMDR session looks like, making it easy to understand even for those new to the concept. She also offers practical advice on finding a qualified EMDR therapist through resources like psychologytoday.com.

One of the standout moments is when Dr. Laura shares her 'Recovery Nuggets'—practical tips and insights aimed at building resilience and achieving lasting recovery. Whether you're personally navigating the path of addiction recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable information and a dose of inspiration.
So, if you're curious about how addressing trauma can transform the recovery journey, tune in to hear Dr. Laura Schmuldt's expert take on EMDR therapy.
