EMDR Therapy

This week, Marko and Steve sit down with Dr. Thomas Whitfield (@drthomaswhitfield) to unpack one of the most talked-about trauma therapies right now: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Dr. Whitfield breaks down what EMDR actually is, how it works in real time, and why it’s especially impactful for LGBTQ+ patients navigating everything from identity-based trauma to rejection, internalized shame, and the long tail of growing up feeling unsafe to be fully themselves. The conversation demystifies the process—what a session feels like, whether you have to relive painful memories, and why healing doesn’t mean forgetting, but finally being able to move forward without the emotional weight.

To wrap things up, Dr. Thomas Whitfield joins the guys to  tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.
