131: Beyond EMDR: The System Beneath It [Beneath The Protocol Series]
About this episode
Kambria Evans explores the hidden value systems behind EMDR and other trauma modalities, emphasizing the importance of understanding these values for effective therapy.
Are therapy protocols actually neutral? In this episode of the Zero Disturbance Podcast , Kambria Evans explores the hidden value systems behind EMDR, Brainspotting, ART, and other trauma modalities—and why understanding those values is essential for effective, brain-based therapy. While EMDR revolutionized trauma treatment, it was developed in a different scientific era—before modern neuroscience, systems thinking, and nervous system research reshaped how we understand healing. This episode breaks down: Why protocols reflect the time and science they were created in How neuroscience and systems-based therapy have shifted clinical understanding Why symptom reduction isn’t the same as integration How clinicians can move from protocol-driven work to system-based perception If you’ve ever felt like something in your sessions doesn’t fully make sense—this episode will give you language, clarity, and a new framework to work from. Resources & Next Steps: If you’re ready to move beyond rigid protocols and learn how to work with the nervous system and full system organization of your clients: 👉 Apply for The Consultation Program: https://www.zerodisturbance.com/consultation-2022…
