EP 195: Psychotherapy & EMDR with Stephanie Polizzi

Cup Of Nurses

Trauma, anxiety, depression, and other issues came from somewhere. Research shows it was from a distressing childhood event that you've learned to repress or any situation that traumatized you. In this episode, we discuss Psychotherapy and EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy to help address any issue. How does psychotherapy help? And what goes on during EMDR? If this topic interests you, pull up a seat, grab your favorite coffee, and join us in this exciting episode of Cup of Nurses. ☕☕
