Unlocking Trauma: The Power of EMDR Therapy with Patty Dirilten

With EMDR, we allow logic, facts, insight, and context to mix with our memories and actually process our stuff instead of staying in a panic spiral.
Ever wondered how therapy can help untangle the web of trauma and addiction? In this episode of The Real Common Treatable Podcast, host Clint Mally sits down with Patty Dirilten, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor, to shed light on EMDR therapy. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) might sound complex, but Patty breaks it down into eight manageable stages that can help people process and heal from traumatic experiences.
She explains how EMDR mimics the natural processes of REM sleep, allowing the brain to work through difficult memories and emotions more effectively. Unlike hypnosis, EMDR keeps one foot in reality while revisiting past traumas, making it a powerful tool for those struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Patty's journey from playground advocate to professional counselor adds a personal touch to the discussion, making it relatable and inspiring.
Whether you're curious about new therapeutic methods or seeking ways to support someone on their recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to discover how EMDR can transform lives by helping people reprocess painful memories and find lasting relief.
