61 | What to Expect in an EMDR Session (From Someone Who’s Been There)

If you had told me a year ago that I’d be sitting across from a therapist, holding buzzing paddles in my hands while my eyes tracked her fingers back and forth… I would have laughed and said, “Nope, not me.”I thought I was fine.I’ve been open about loss, near-death experiences, health struggles, and running a business through it all. I believed that because I could talk about the hard things, I had already processed them.But EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) showed me something I didn’t know—there were little pockets of unprocessed pain still quietly shaping my beliefs, my body, and even my health.In this episode, I share:What EMDR is and why I finally said yes to itThe repeating belief that had been quietly sabotaging me for yearsSpecific moments from my story that shifted from “disturbing” to “sad, but no longer controlling”Why this work matters for entrepreneurs who are living in constant fight-or-flight without even realizing itThis isn’t just a story about therapy—it’s about finally letting your body believe you’re safe. It’s about the relief of feeling like yourself again. And it’s a reminder that you don’t have to keep living with the weight you’ve learned to carry.If you’ve ever wondered whether the pain you’ve pushed down might still be pushing back… this one’s for you.Free Resource: 🎧 What Your Brand Says About You→ A free mini podcast + reflection journal to help you clarify your brand’s message.Mentioned in this episode:Lume BoxI'm really working on habit stacking and my Lume Box is the best tool in my toolbox to really make sure I'm focusing on my health and well-being while simultaneously getting ready for the day or reading at night.
