EMDR and Ancient Wisdom of Dadirri

Explore the intersection between ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience! Join Karen Baluch, LPCC-S, LICDC as we take a look at the Aboriginal Australian concept of Dadirri, often described as deep listening, and compare it to what happens during EMDR therapy. Also we examine the role of the brain’s Default Mode Network and discuss why slowing down may be one of the most powerful forms of healing available to us. We follow the path of a client (names changed, permission given) and their healing journey. We want to thank the Aboriginal peoples of Ngan’gikurunggurr and Ngen’giwumirri in the Daly River region of Australia’s Northern Territory for this knowledge.
