EP94 The Pros & Cons of EMDR Therapy

The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan

Dec 3 2022 • 33 mins

In this solo show I’m discussing my experience with EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).  I've worked with four therapists over the last two decades and have had some great success, and some bad experiences as well that I'm covering in today's episode.

In this episode I'm covering:

  • A baby update!
  • An overview of the EMDR process
  • My experience with the benefits of EMDR therapy
  • Pros/cons to know about before heading into EMDR
  • The importance of finding a skilled practitioner to help you through this treatment

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place.

This podcast is designed to connect you with resources, inspiration, and the reminder that you are not alone as you embark on your journey of radical mothering.

I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a nervous system educator for cycle breaker moms as well as a certified TRE (trauma releasing exercises) provider, and a trauma-informed yoga instructor. And of course, a fellow Radical Mother. My approach to this work blends neuroscience backed tools and heart-centered intuition.
