OnThe Verywell Mind Podcast, Amy Morin, LCSW, interviews authors, experts, entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians, and other inspirational people about the strategies that help them think, feel, and do their best in life.

Michael Baldwin has worked in advertising for more than 35 years. He’s also a firm believer in EMDR treatment. After seeing several different therapists and trying different types of treatment, he says EMDR saved his life.

Deborah Korn, PsyD is a psychologist, teacher, and researcher who has been on the faculty of the EMDR institute for more than 25 years. She also serves on the editorial board of theJournal of EMDR Practice and Research.

Together, they co-authored a book called “Every Memory Deserves Respect.” In it, they describe Michael’s experience receiving EMDR treatment and Deborah’s expertise on why it’s such a powerful wayto heal from trauma.

Michael and Deborah are passionate about sharing their knowledge with anyone who might benefit from learning more about EMDR. Michael says without EMDR, he wouldn’t be here today, and he credits EMDR treatment with helping him heal from atraumatic childhood.

In addition to treating patients with EMDR, Deborah continues to research it. She wants to continue learning more about it and how it can be used to help people heal.

How to Choose the Best Type of Therapy For You

Sometimes people think getting through a traumatic experience relatively unscathed means they’re strong. But that idea pressures many people to pretend they’re fine even when they don’t feel fine.

You can’t control all of the factors that determine the type of effect a traumatic experience will have on your life.

Whether you endured a single traumatic event, like a car accident, or a traumatic childhood involving repeat traumas, you may developPTSD.

Getting help to heal from trauma is a sign of strength, not weakness. And no matter how long ago a traumatic event occurred, treatment could be the key to healing your emotional wound.

‘Time Heals All Wounds:’ Is There Any Truth to This?

It’s about moving the past into the past so one can live more fully in the present.

“We’re coming out of this pandemic—hopefully coming out of this pandemic—and people’s nervous systems are not the same as they were three years ago. Their nervous systems are much more vulnerable.”

“Psychological problems are related to a failure to adequately process traumatic experiences in memories.”
