Unlocking Healing: DeSha's Journey with EMDR and PTSD Recovery

There's so much research being done, there's so much work, there's so much new recognition that the body does keep the score, that we do store and express stress in ways that we haven't been exploring or acknowledging.
Ever wondered how therapy can transform lives? In this compelling episode of 'Finding OK', DeSha opens up about her personal experience with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. As an editorial and lifestyle photographer, loving partner, and mother, DeSha shares the profound impact that EMDR has had on her life. She walks us through what a typical session looks like and offers practical advice for anyone curious about trying this therapy themselves. But the conversation doesn't stop there.
Together with Hecate, they dive into the often-overlooked somatic symptoms of PTSD and trauma—those physical manifestations that can make you question your sanity and feel utterly alone. DeSha's insights are not just theoretical; she has over a decade of experience in trauma recovery, utilizing techniques like baud therapy, neurofeedback, and brain spotting. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing when someone is ready for EMDR and the crucial role of somatic therapy in the healing process.
They also touch on the benefits of Chinese medicine, particularly how meridian points can help us understand the flow of energy in our bodies. Whether you're a survivor yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of information and encouragement. DeSha's story is a testament to the power of therapy and the resilience of the human spirit.
