RECOVERable: Mental Health and Addiction Experts Answer Your Questions · EMDR Therapy: Can It Heal Your Trauma? (Part 1) · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

And that can be exactly what you start out with when you begin something like EMDR or a targeted treatment of like, just keep having these problems in relationships.

And what image comes up for you about that?

What negative cognition?

What happens in your body?

All that.

Go with it.

Let's see what happens.

Well, when it comes to risks, so anytime you're doing trauma work, it's probably going to be hard and emotional.

Also, though, our brain, when it comes to dissociation, our brain is so incredibly powerful and it's such a beautiful superpower that our brain has to disconnect from the scary and awful things that happen to us in our lives.

And at the same time, when you start to do trauma work, especially if you're someone whose brain and body has really learned how to dissociate and disconnect, go with that might mean that some scary stuff starts to come up and to resurface.

And so perhaps looking for an EMDR therapist who also is able to talk about how they understand dissociation, how they don't pathologize it, how maybe they're actually a specialist in dissociation.

So that when those things naturally begin to come up, it doesn't have to be this flooding flashback, but can be normalized, can be supported in the therapeutic relationship, and can really be able to work with and through those things instead of having it be a re-traumatizing

The short answer is no.

The more comprehensive answer is it depends.

There's parts that you can do.

So especially when you've worked with an EMDR therapist and you've worked to develop the resources that we discussed in phase two, those are things that we absolutely want people to be using outside of session.

And you can learn a lot of the resources from YouTube videos.

That's fine.

Go and look up EmDR Complex and start to work with a visualization that feels calming to you.

Or learn how to develop an internal container.
