Meet Courtney Robert, LCSW!

This week we talk to Courtney Robert, LCSW! Courtney is a licensed clinical social worker and therapist for the IBD Center at GI Alliance in Baton Rouge, LA! We talked to her about the IBD Center that they're building that provides a holistic approach to IBD care. We discuss trauma in IBD and the therapeutic technique called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It's a really fascinating and really effective technique to help people with trauma and post traumatic stress. We also talked about gut-directed hypnotherapy and guided imagery. We learned a lot from Courtney and we know you will too!
