From viral self-help hacks to controversial "miracle cures," there's no shortage of promises for quick mental health fixes. But do therapists actually believe that they work? 🤔This week, we're joined by EMDR expert Gina Lihou, RP, to explore the reality behind some of these solutions. She lets us in on the truth about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - two evidence-based approaches that seemingly work for many. We are also briefly joined by Monica Lau, RP, as she discusses the use of psychedelics in therapy and the reality of what she deals with in her office everyday.Tune in as we separate fact from fiction and discuss what a holistic approach to healing looks like in therapy ✨To learn more about EMDR from Gina, click here: https://youtu.be/swXmrIRSsVIhttps://youtu.be/FGsvxT87Q2wTo learn more about other modalities, click here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt6ovu7v4Lc&t=5s&ab_channel=CentredSelfPsychotherapyClick here to book a free EMDR consult with Gina: ⁠⁠https://centredself.ca/contact⁠⁠Hosted by: Dr Ryan Bittinger (they/them) and Dr Jess Erb (she/her)Cover art by: Una Grace Norona (she/her)Produced and edited by: Denise Danda (she/her)Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yourtherapistisnotokay
