I'm your host, Carolyn Solo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR Consultant, and proud mother of three daughters. Today, I am excited to share my personal journey with you and tell you more about EMDR therapy and my therapy practice.I start off by talking about my first experience with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I must admit, initially, I was skeptical about this form of therapy. However, as I learned more about it and witnessed the remarkable results in my clients, I now almost exclusively offer EMDR intensives in my practice. Join me as I discuss what drew me to explore EMDR therapy further, why I find it so appealing, how I introduced EMDR therapy into my practice, the changes I had to make in my practice, and why I believe it is such a powerful tool for healing.Topics covered in this episode:What motivated me to search for other more effective ways to address deep-rooted traumaWhy I was skeptical (yet intrigued) about EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) at firstMy decision to start implementing longer sessions with my clients and the remarkable results I witnessedMy personal experience with EMDR and why I recommend all therapists go through their own EMDR therapyThe benefits of being in a consultation group as a therapistChallenges I faced with my oldest daughter as she was entering kindergarten and how it influenced our family dynamicsHow you can work with me and what you can expect from this podcast in future episodesConnect with Carolyn:Website: www.futuretemplateparent.com Instagram: @integritas_wellness_recovery, @futuretemplateparenthttps://calendly.com/solo-2fw/30-minute-discovery-call Resources from this episode:Scaling Up GroupQuote:“It's really, really hard to fully understand the experience of your clients as well as work through your own stuff without going to EMDR yourself. “ - Carolyn
