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.”

The title alone is what got me! Jessica is very much honest and isn’t afraid to tell it like it is, And her guest speakers are truly an inspiration. Her podcast goes to show that self motivation is key to making it in life but also it influences the people around you.

I am so thankful for these podcasts. Weather I am driving, in the gym, ending my day, or getting my day started these podcasts motivate me. They tell stories of real people with real stories. It is not only inspiring but hopeful. I am 21 and currently a college/ working student. The last year for me has been very rough in making decisions I thought I never would have. But, even with life’s obstacles I know there is a light at the end of this tunnel. And thanks to Jessica Hurley’s podcasts I can see I am not alone and my light will come.

I’ve personally been in this same space before after 8 years and choosing to walk away from it all for many of the same reasons. One of the hardest things to do but I knew it was ultimately best for me and for him as well. ❤️ Your soul knows best when you listen to it outside of your heart & mind.
