Beyond Trauma Podcast

I been an EMDR therapist since 2001 and also an EMDR client. I love this podcast. I have it listed on my “calming strategies page” and ask all my clients to listen to it. I love how the 3 hosts share about their own experiences with trauma and attachment with so much compassion that it normalizes trauma responses and strategies. We have a group of 20 EMDR therapists in Windsor-Essex (Ontario, Canada) and we love this podcast and Notice that. All of us have learned so much both personally and professionally. I cannot say enough great things about how these three EMDR therapists are changing the world of therapy, trauma and recovery! Bravo!!!! BTW I just joined patroon and am now expressing my gratitude for you thru my pocketbook.

Hi, It is OK or average, compared to other self-help podcasts. Unfortunately, I find the tone often inappropriate or incongruent. There is a lot of laugher, sighing while a therapist is trying to explain something or describing a situation. I have an impression that some of the therapists are either unconsciously finding the topic funny or the condition ridiculous. It does sound like this is an off-the-clock get-together, where a gang of therapists are venting about their lived experience. Meaning, they forget that they need to be more delicate while in public. It is honestly distracting, while the discussions are serious and triggering. That is why, the empathy and/or understanding are sometimes questionable. Of course, the approach is and should be unique to each therapist, but the general message or objective are regrettably not so clear.
