Welcome to this episode, where I am thrilled to be speaking with Athena Phillips about dissociation, the difference between coaching and therapy, and Back to the Future.

Athena shares how IFS and EMDR can be complementary, but caution is needed when using EMDR with dissociative clients.

Coaching and therapy have distinct roles, and in her business Athena has found a very symbiotic relationship between coaches and therapist for clients.

We speak about Back to the Future, and some of the ways this movie represents trauma healing. We even bring in current world events, and how societal disconnection reflects challenging but potentially transformative period of collective growth.

Enjoy this wonderful episode, and if you would like to find out more information on Athena, check out her company here:
