Episode 69- Types of Therapy with Ana Maldonado, LPC, Part 2

In this episode of "An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth" Sydney and Kelly continue their interview with Ana Maldonado, LPC, discussing different types of therapy.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR
• Especially for trauma and distressing situations
• Trauma is stored in your body, this approach is a bottom up versus the other therapies that start with the head...logic etc...
• Desensitizes the memory, bi-lateral stimulation
• Do not have to talk through the whole experience
• Therapists require training for this therapy
• Was created for PTSD, but is effective on OCD, anxiety, and other disorders
• Not necessarily a stand alone treatment
• Internal Family Systems, IFS, the movie Inside Out is based on this
• How you either protect your inner self or exile parts of your inner self
• It is more than just your emotions, sometimes it is general concepts, or younger self
• Emphasizes self-compassion
• Works well with EMDR
• How do you find a therapist
