Ep.35 EMDR for Parents and Children: 4 Insights on Healing Trauma, Attachment & Negative Core Beliefs

In this solo episode, Lizzie shares fresh insights from her recent 5-day EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist training and why this powerful therapeutic approach is a game-changer for healing trauma, whether you're 2 or 92!EMDR isn't just for big-T trauma like abuse or accidents. It's also incredibly effective for the "small-t" traumas that shape our attachment wounds, negative core beliefs, and parenting patterns—things like childhood rejection, feeling unseen, or internalizing the belief that "you're not enough".Lizzie breaks down the science behind EMDR using the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, explaining how our brain naturally processes experiences and what happens when that system gets stuck. She walks through examples, shares four "aha-moment" insights from her training, and explains why this matters for couples preparing for parenthood, parents breaking generational cycles, and children as young as two healing from early trauma.If you've ever felt stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, or wondered why your child has big reactions to seemingly small things—this episode will change how you think about healing.Links & Resources→ Sacred Treehouse EMDR services: https://sacredtreehouse.org→ Learn more about EMDR: EMDR International Association - emdria.org → Connect with Lizzie for EMDR therapy for adults or children: www.BeenenTherapyGroup.com
