Acknowledging My Negative Cognition through EMDR with Heather Holop

If you have followed Jess’s healing journey over the last years, you know your girl has got a little bit of trauma. And no longer wanting to live her life through a lens of pain, she did EVERYTHING to try to change that, from Reiki to hypnosis to therapy. But nothing could have prepared her for the things she uncovered through EDMR.

So in this episode, founder of Therapeutic Serendipity and licensed clinical social worker Heather Holop, joins the show to discuss what EDMR is, why it might be right for you, and how her own journey is one of the reasons she’s so great at what she does.

KEY POINTS:

  • What is EMDR?
  • Diving into Jess’s negative cognitions
  • Why memories are not intrinsically painful
  • Are we lying to ourselves or coping?
  • Where do we go wrong with boundaries?
  • “When are we healed?”

QUOTABLES:

“It's always something deeper, but they just usually want to work on the stuff that's present. The stuff that’s, I call it, the crisis of the week. I call it chasing cows.”

“Your brain stays so focused on the trauma that it doesn't like the truth. And the thought that we develop about ourselves in those moments is actually what is painful. It's not the memory, because the memory only exists in your mind.”

Whew! I can’t say enough about how blessed I am to have found this podcast and this WOMAN last year. It was LITERALLY the catapult into success, self empowerment, self awareness, and self belief that I needed. She covers the real stuff, the relevant stuff, she digs deep, she makes you dig deep and she spares NOTHING. She lays it all on the table and really wakes you up and forces you to look deep within and learn how to live your life unapologetically! Listening to, meeting, and now working with her has lit a fire in me I never knew I had and has introduced me to a world of like minded women, professionals, and empowerment! This community has become my lifeline and it is ALL thanks to this Angel of a woman. If you don’t know, now you know! ❤️
