Description

In this powerful episode, we explore how Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is being used to heal the wounds of generational trauma. Our guest, an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, Susan Weissbach, LCSW, breaks down how traumatic patterns can be passed down through families—and how EMDR helps disrupt that cycle. We discuss the science behind EMDR, what a session actually looks like, and how individuals are finding relief from deeply rooted pain that didn’t start with them. Whether you're familiar with trauma work or just beginning your healing journey, this episode offers insight, hope, and practical tools for breaking free from inherited emotional burdens.

Topics Covered:

  • What is generational trauma?
  • How EMDR works in the brain and body
  • Real stories of healing across generations
  • The importance of somatic and memory-based therapies
  • Steps to begin EMDR therapy

Tune in to discover how you can heal not only for yourself—but for the generations that come after you.
