What Is EMDR? A Body-Based Approach to Healing Medical Trauma with Ingrid Nishimoto, LCSW
About this episode
In this episode, Sarah Stasica and Ingrid Nishimoto discuss EMDR as a healing approach for medical trauma and the importance of compassion in the recovery process.
In this episode of the Medical Trauma Support Podcast, Sarah Stasica sits down with Ingrid Nishimoto, LCSW a certified EMDR therapist who also lives with a genetic cancer condition diagnosed at 17. Together they explore what EMDR actually is, how it helps shift the felt sense of powerlessness after a frightening medical experience, and why grief, collapse, and the long “in-between” after treatment deserve so much more compassion than they usually get. Ingrid shares how she helps clients feel safe in their bodies again, reconnect with their own wisdom, and move from “I’m powerless” toward “I have agency.” A warm, nervous-system-informed conversation for anyone healing after a hard diagnosis and for the clinicians who walk alongside them.
