What Is EMDR? Two Trauma Therapists Explain the Therapy That's Changing How We Heal
<p>What if a single therapy session could resolve a trauma you've carried for years? In this episode, Adriana sits down with Dina and Julie — two licensed EMDR therapists with over 40 years of combined experience and the team behind EMDR Transformations Counseling in Gilbert, Arizona — to demystify one of the most talked-about and misunderstood trauma treatments out there.</p><p>They break down what EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) actually is, why trauma gets "stuck" in the brain and body, and how bilateral stimulation helps the logical and emotional sides of the brain finally process what happened — without hypnosis, and while you stay fully awake and in control. They get into why EMDR can work dramatically faster than traditional talk therapy, what it can treat (single-incident trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, phobias, addiction, and more), and what a session actually looks like, including virtual EMDR done from your own home.</p><p>They also discuss a newer clinical offering in their practice: ketamine-assisted EMDR therapy — what it is and how it's used in a supervised, prescribed setting as part of professional treatment. This portion is educational only and is not medical advice or a recommendation; decisions about any medication or treatment should be made with a licensed medical provider.</p><p>Plus, a simple grounding technique you can use the next time you feel overwhelmed.</p><p>Whether you're trauma-curious, considering therapy, or just want to understand how healing actually works in the brain, this conversation makes it click.</p><p>⸻</p><p><strong>⚠️ Content & medical disclaimer:</strong> This episode discusses trauma, abuse, addiction, and mental health treatment, including ketamine-assisted therapy in a clinical context.

Tana Amen — "At 23, I Prayed I Would Die." How She Turned an ACE Score of 8 Into a Life of Purpose
<p>Tana Amen had every reason not to make it. Raised by a teenage runaway mom in poverty, with addiction, murder, and abuse all around her. Molested as a child. Assaulted at 15. An eating disorder. Then cancer at 23 that came back four times. Her childhood trauma score (ACE score) was an 8 out of 10. At 23, she prayed she would die.</p><p>In this episode, Tana tells Adriana how she went from that hopeless moment to becoming an ICU trauma nurse, a two-time black belt, a New York Times bestselling author, and vice president of the Amen Clinics. They talk about the hidden link between childhood trauma and physical health, the shame survivors carry, brain health and healing, and why telling the story you swore you'd never tell can set you free. Adriana also shares losing her own husband and the day her young daughter asked how he really died.</p><p>Tana's message for anyone in the dark: you have no idea how fast it can change.</p><p>Content note: This episode discusses childhood abuse, sexual assault, addiction, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, cancer, and grief.

"Diagnosed Saturday. Gone Monday." A Young Widow's Story
<p>Annie (@annieafter_) met Zach doing summer sales in California and married fast, the way you do when you just know. He was 26 and healthy — until sudden symptoms led to a rare, aggressive cancer diagnosis. The doctor said it was "95% curable." Two days later, Annie was a widow.</p><p>In this episode, Annie shares the timeline most people never hear: the hospital, the moment she watched his heart rate fall when she hugged him, the question he asked her on the way to chemo, the phone she spent six months unlocking after he died, and why she refuses to "get over" her grief — because her grief is just her love for Zach.</p><p>Heavy, honest, and at moments even funny, because that's the reality of grief.</p><p>Content note: This episode discusses terminal illness, sudden death, and grief, and includes some strong language. Please listen with care.</p><p>If you're struggling, you're not alone: • 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 (US, 24/7) • Modern Widows Club — <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://modernwidowsclub.org">modernwidowsclub.org</a> • Soaring Spirits International — <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://soaringspirits.org">soaringspirits.org</a> Outside the US: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://findahelpline.com">findahelpline.com</a></p><p>Follow the show: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>Host: Adriana Sansam @adrianasansam</p>
