INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Julie has a conversation with EMDR specialist, Whitney Dittmar,
MA, LPC, EMDR Therapist for Athletes, Performance & Trauma Specialist
Listed in the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee Mental Health Directory (2025) for the Mental Health Directory.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used with athletes and performers to enhance performance, break through mental and physical blocks.
EMDR is therapy that encourages the patient to focus on a traumatic memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the memories. This therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help recovery from trauma and PTSD symptoms. Research shows EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences, and may even be more effective than Prozac in treatment.
