412: Broken Trust: The Impact Of Betrayal Trauma + How EMDR Can Help With Marcken Volmy LMHC, NCC

<p>Welcome back to Therapy Chat. This week I interviewed author, EMDR-Certified therapist and Consultant In Training Marcken Volmy, LMHC about how EMDR can help with betrayal trauma and the impact of broken trust. We explored how betrayal by trusted figures and institutions can shatter one&#39;s sense of safety and trust in the world. </p><p>We also discussed recent examples of betrayal <span>within the mental health field, for example, the FTC settlement with BetterHelp, and other situations in our field which have affected both of us. We talked about the impact these experiences can have on therapists&#39; and clients&#39; trust in the systems and processes of our profession. Marcken explains how EMDR can help change implicit beliefs about self and the world, leading to healing and a felt sense of safety. We also touch on the current political climate and its effect on trust and safety. Marcken&#39;s book, Trauma Stories, is available now! Listen in to this hopeful conversation. It&#39;s never too late to heal. </span></p><p><span>Marcken Volmy is a licensed mental health counselor and the owner of Bedrock Counseling, a private practice based in Florida that also offers EMDR consultation for recently trained clinicians.
