377: When to Safely Begin Processing Complex Trauma Using EMDR with Dr. Deborah Korn
Therapy Chat
The Importance of Trauma Therapy
I've heard the same thing that Michael experienced from, you know, so many clients over the years. And I too have had a lot of fits and starts with therapy before I got connected with the right kind. But really doing trauma work is so different and so powerfully healing. You know, it's just really transformative.
Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, due to a death in the family, host Laura Reagan is away and replaying a past episode which relates to last week's conversation with Rotem Brayer. on the Art & Science of EMDR. This week, Laura revisits her conversation with Dr. Debbie Korn on identifying and assessing dissociation in preparation for processing complex trauma using EMDR.
