Hello and welcome to the very first episode of the Future Parent Template Podcast! I'm your host, Carolyn Solo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR Consultant, and proud mother of three daughters. Today, I am excited to share my personal journey with you and tell you more about EMDR therapy and my therapy practice.

I start off by talking about my first experience with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I must admit, initially, I was skeptical about this form of therapy. However, as I learned more about it and witnessed the remarkable results in my clients, I now almost exclusively offer EMDR intensives in my practice. Join me as I discuss what drew me to explore EMDR therapy further, why I find it so appealing, how I introduced EMDR therapy into my practice, the changes I had to make in my practice, and why I believe it is such a powerful tool for healing.

Topics covered in this episode:

• What motivated me to search for other more effective ways to address deep-rooted trauma
• Why I was skeptical (yet intrigued) about EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) at first
• My decision to start implementing longer sessions with my clients and the remarkable results I witnessed
• My personal experience with EMDR and why I recommend all therapists go through their own EMDR therapy
• The benefits of being in a consultation group as a therapist
• Challenges I faced with my oldest daughter as she was entering kindergarten and how it influenced our family dynamics
• How you can work with me and what you can expect from this podcast in future episodes
