What's EMDR Like As a Patient with Hannah C.

Send us Fan MailThis week we brought back friend of the show and former guest, Hannah Cramer! Hannah and Robin have both been using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help them with their medical trauma.  EMDR is a psychotherapeutic technique used to help people process and recover from trauma and problematic traumatic memories that may interfere with life. They've found EMDR to be incredibly helpful and very quick to alleviate some really significant anxiety and trauma associated with their disease and with their experiences with the medical system. We discussed how the process has worked for them, what to expect if you're considering this, pros and cons to this technique, and how they've talked to others about it. It was super interesting to hear their different experiences but also so encouraging to hear how it helped them. If you want to know more about EMDR from a therapist that uses it with IBD patients, please go back to episode 33 with Courtney Robert. If you want to hear more of Hannah's story, go back to episode 13.
