Lauren interviews another amazing health practitioner in this episode: Michele Sherman, MFT. Michele is a specialist in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, which can be extremely useful in overcoming traumas of all shapes and sizes. She runs a practice out of Encino, CA

Listen in as Michele reveals…

- why EMDR is an effective and fast treatment for trauma

- how EMDR works

- why EMDR is really a mind-body treatment, and has helped patients surviving eating disorders, PTSD, childhood trauma, grief, loss, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems, among other concerns

- how EMDR allows patients to release unconsciously held pain in their bodies (when associated with trauma)

- how EMDR treats a root cause for a solution and change

- the importance of universal mental healthcare coverage

- the importance of normalizing variations in mental health among individuals, and offering resources and advocacy

- that there is help out there, and we need to de-stigmatize the search for treatment

- that employers should offer opportunities and education on healthcare incentives, because it’s their job to provide access to help – and health

- that social media is a form of isolation, and leads to depression among millennials

- that being depressed doesn’t have to be a way of life
