Welcome to an insightful episode of The Slice of Empathy Podcast where we converse with Lisha Song, a seasoned Licensed Mental Health Counselor proficient in handling trauma and complex PTSD. Lisha brings to the table an empowering approach to healing that is inclusive of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects.

We delve into the insights from Lisha's book, "Love What Hurts – A guide for Healing Emotional Wounds and Following Your Intuition", accentuating the potency of this self-help resource in building a robust healing process. Lisha elucidates the nuances of complex PTSD and emphasizes the need for trauma therapy to aid in emotional recovery.

In this engaging discussion, we navigate the issue of 'minimizing personal pain through comparisons', emphasizing the harm it can cause. We illuminate 'toxic positivity' and shed light on the importance of addressing deep-seated pain, stressing the need for a holistic healing approach.

This enlightening episode explores elements of trauma and its resolution process, particularly the role of the physical body in healing. Our guest shares the benefits of systematic healing practices like EMDR therapy, ego state therapy, and somatic experiences. Lisha sketches a clear picture of her extensive healing sessions to demonstrate the imperative of these comprehensive healing strategies.

Through the process of demystifying complex trauma healing concepts, we hope to enlighten listeners on the significant role of comprehensive, rather than surface-level, healing practices.

An important aspect of our discussion includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. We bring forth its potential effectiveness by introducing its function and various approaches. We also bring attention to the role of spiritual resources in healing, advocating their role in fostering a sense of protection and unconditional love during one's healing journey.

We sincerely hope that the resources and experiences shared in this episode bolster your understanding and appreciation for EMDR therapy, sparking an interest for those keen on embarking on their own healing journeys.
