#187: How To Face The Beast And Slay It!

Therapy Brothers Discussion: How do Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and experiential therapies help heal trauma and allow us to reach our potential? Do you struggle with trauma and addiction? Are you looking for a way to get trust, safety, and healing? Do you know how to Face the beast and slay it? What if the key to healing your traumas and fears was to face them head-on? "I was sitting in a therapy session recently, working through some EMDR with my client. We were trying to find the target memory to start with. My client found her target memory and selected it. But when we tried to start the EMDR work, we hit a block. I asked her what was going on, and she explained that she had an image in my mind of a room full of glass compartments. I asked her to take something out of one of the compartments, but she was afraid that if she took one out, it would all come crashing down on her. She was afraid to confront her past trauma because she didn't know how to deal with it all." In this episode: 1. How we often prevent ourselves from healing past trauma 2. The importance of getting out of our own heads and purely logical thinking to connect our mind with our heart 3. How experiential modes of therapy and other trauma therapies can help us reprocess our memories in a safe and powerful way. // SUBMIT A QUESTION + SCHEDULE A CALL // We would love to answer any questions you have about addiction, trauma, recovery, healing, and anything you can think of.
