Understanding Big T Trauma and Little T Trauma: How EMDR Supports Trauma Recovery After Hard Experiences So You Can Stop Reliving the Story with Jenny Estrada [Ep 30]

What happens when a memory still feels like it is happening in your body?In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jenny Estrada, also known as The Happy Mom Therapist based in Florida to talk about EMDR therapy, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and the way painful experiences can stay with us long after the moment has passed. Jenny has been in the mental health field for more than 20 years, and she helps women work through traumatic birth experiences so they can begin to feel more like themselves again.This episode is such an important reminder that trauma recovery is not about forcing ourselves to “get over it.” It is about understanding what our nervous system can tolerate, learning how the window of tolerance works, and finding support that helps us process the memory without becoming overwhelmed by it.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why big T trauma and little T trauma both matterHow EMDR helps separate the emotion from the eventWhat bilateral stimulation is and how it worksWhy some people keep looping in talk therapy without resolutionHow PTSD symptoms can show up after a traumatic birth experienceWhy a safe or peaceful place is part of EMDR preparationWhat happens when physical sensations come up during trauma processingHow EMDR can support maternal wellness after difficult birthsWhy finding the right therapist fit mattersWhat moms need to know about getting help before everything falls apartThis episode is for anyone who has ever retold a painful story and felt their whole body go back there, wondered whether emotional health could be connected to physical symptoms, or needed a reminder that healing does not have to happen alone.Hit play and let’s grow together,KimberlyConnect with me:Website: https://www.kimberlyhand.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyhand_Shop The Cinnamon Effect Journal here: https://thecinnamoneffect.com/journalConnect with Jenny:Instagram: @counselingworkspalmbeachhttps://www.counselingworks.net/Better sleep, faster recovery, real relaxation, all from home.
