You might know you're safe and still find yourself bracing, overworking, or reacting in ways you wish you could change. Understanding why something happened doesn't always change how your body responds.

In this episode, Dr. Emily talks with Erin Pritchard, MA, LPCC-S, an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, EMDR consultant, and sex therapist who specializes in intensive EMDR for trauma, anxiety, burnout, and relationship concerns.

You'll learn:

• What EMDR therapy is and how it differs from talk therapy

• What preparation, resourcing, and bilateral stimulation look like in a session

• How past experiences can show up through anxiety, body sensations, and relationship patterns

• How emotional neglect, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can function as survival responses

• What EMDR intensives involve and why readiness and pacing matter

• How to find an EMDR therapist and understand training and certification

You don't have to keep carrying something just because you've learned how to live around it.
