About this episode

Lily and Rosa discuss EMDR as a treatment for trauma and interview Jack, who shares his journey of overcoming kava-kratom dependence.

Lily & Rosa in the open discuss Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) as treatment option for those struggling with trauma. Rosa interviews Jack, a 33-year-old miner from Nevada who developed a severe dependence on kava-kratom drinks after struggling with addiction throughout his life. After years of denial and hiding his use, he quit by telling his loved ones and pushing through an intense six-day withdrawal. Jack now relies on healthier habits like working out and focusing on honesty and accountability.
