The Body Show: Trauma Therapy

Kathy Kozak

Every Memory Deserves Respect – the title of a new book coauthored by our guest Dr. Deborah Korn, which is an acronym for EMDR, a type of psychotherapy that helps people with a history of trauma in their lives. Not just the big traumas, but even the smaller ones that can seem more insidious. Today on the Body Show we explore how these traumatic experiences can affect us later in life and ways to address the problems that can arise in our everyday lives.
