Ep. 45: Unlocking the Healing Process with EMDR feat. Dr. Vanessa Rohlf
About this episode
This episode discusses EMDR therapy and its benefits for animal advocates dealing with trauma and grief.
Animal advocates often carry trauma that doesn’t belong only to them—images, losses, and moments that not only linger, but also cause significant distress. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Vanessa Rohlf about EMDR therapy and how it can support those navigating secondary trauma, cumulative loss, and grief in animal welfare and activism.
