We spend a lifetime learning to manage those, learning to cognitively override the dysregulation we experience or the distorted perceptions or the negative things we tolerate. So we spend a lifetime again sort of trying to cognitively override those reactions. And what I share with clients often is like, if that worked, you wouldn't have called me because you already know how to tell yourself. I shouldn't make such a big deal out of it.
Have you ever wondered how trauma can be treated effectively? In this episode of 'The Bear Comes Home From The Bar', host Terrance Fleming chats with Susan Wendelborg from Oregon EMDR about a groundbreaking therapy known as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Susan breaks down the origins of EMDR and explains how it helps individuals recover from childhood adversity. She dives into the science behind trauma, detailing what happens to the brain and nervous system when we experience it.
EMDR, she explains, is based on the adaptive information processing model, which suggests our brains can heal from trauma just like our bodies heal from physical wounds. Unlike exposure therapy, which relies on cognitive strategies, EMDR uses eye movements to help the brain process traumatic memories. This bottom-up approach allows for the natural processing of information, crucial for recovery. Tune in to learn how EMDR could be a lifeline for those dealing with complex PTSD and toxic stress.
