Beyond Talk Therapy: Healing with Brainspotting and EMDR w/ Kristen Humiston | Courageous Healing Therapy

Talk therapy is great—but sometimes we need to go deeper. In this episode, Kristen Humiston introduces us to Brainspotting and EMDR, two powerful tools for healing that get to the root of trauma in ways words can’t.

 

In this episode, we discuss:

• How brainspotting works
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) 
• The differences between the two therapies
• Using these therapies for:
  • Trauma experiences (car accidents)
  • Trigger-based responses (panic attacks)
  • Anticipatory events (public speaking)
  • Future life transitions (retirement / empty nesting)
  • Traumatic experiences that need confidentiality (FBI agents)
  • Kids & animals
