I don't believe that you can be relinquished, even if it's for the very best reasons, even if it's to the most perfect adoptive family, without having this primal wound, what they call the primal wound.
How do you heal from the scars of adoption and a troubled childhood? In this episode of the Safe Home Podcast, Beth sits down with Emma Stevens, author of 'The Gathering Place: An Adoptee’s Story', to discuss her transformative experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Emma opens up about how EMDR has been a pivotal tool in addressing her adoption trauma and other developmental wounds.
They dive into what EMDR therapy entails, its benefits, and the critical importance of finding a skilled therapist. Emma also sheds light on the often-overlooked topic of in utero trauma, explaining how it interlinks with adoption trauma. She emphasizes that even with a loving adoptive family, the primal wound of being relinquished can leave lasting effects. However, she offers hope by sharing that healing is attainable through awareness and proper therapeutic support.
Beth and Emma discuss various resources, including the EMDR International Association and the documentary 'Reckoning with the Primal Wound', which aim to spread awareness and understanding of these complex issues. This episode is not just for those directly affected by adoption but for anyone interested in the profound impact of trauma and the paths to healing.
Tune in to hear Emma's inspiring story and gain valuable insights into how EMDR therapy can be a lifeline for those grappling with deep-seated trauma.
