Once the block is removed, healing resumes. And something that has baffled really our professions for a long time is this idea that you can talk, talk, talk about trauma, but talking in and of itself is not really going to heal it, because unhealed trauma can get stuck in what we call our limbic brain, and words don't have a lot to do with the limbic brain.
Imagine a therapy that goes beyond traditional talk sessions to truly address the root of trauma. In this episode of Cover 2 Resources, Greg McNeil chats with Dr. Jamie Marich, the brilliant mind behind the Institute for Creative Mindfulness. Dr. Marich dives into how Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is making waves in treating substance use disorders. She explains that trauma often gets trapped in the limbic brain, rendering conventional talk therapy less effective.
EMDR offers a unique approach by 'rewiring' the brain to process these stuck memories, providing a new avenue for healing. The therapy starts with preparing clients through specific procedures, ensuring they have the emotional tools needed to tackle their trauma head-on. Dr. Marich emphasizes the importance of a client-centered approach, tailoring the therapy to meet individual needs. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand how addressing trauma can significantly aid in addiction recovery.
Whether you're grappling with PTSD, substance use disorder, or both, this conversation sheds light on innovative methods that could offer real relief.
