Untangling the Myths: EMDR Therapy in the Perinatal & Postpartum Journey
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We dive deep into the misconceptions surrounding EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy during the perinatal and postpartum periods. Can EMDR be safely used during pregnancy? Will it re-traumatize new moms? Is it only for PTSD? Our expert guest — an EMDRIA Certified Therapist specializing in perinatal mental health, Bethany Warren, LCSW, MPH-C, — helps separate fact from fiction. We explore how EMDR can be a powerful, compassionate tool for healing birth trauma, perinatal anxiety, pregnancy loss, and more. Whether you are a new parent, expecting, or a clinician, this episode offers clarity, science, and real-world insights into the role EMDR can play in supporting emotional wellness during one of life’s most transformative times.
