Understanding EMDR: It’s Weird, but It Works

Betrayal trauma is real and for many people, traditional talk therapy only goes so far. In this episode, trauma therapist Laurel van der Toorn joins Tim to explain EMDR: what it is, why it works, and what you can expect from the process. Laurel breaks down the eight phases of this well-researched (and admittedly weird) modality, explains how betrayal trauma is targeted and processed, and offers practical guidance for finding a qualified therapist. If you've been wondering whether EMDR could help you, this conversation is a good place to start.
