Paradise Institute Podcast (Trauma, EMDR, and Veteran-Informed Care)
Paradise Institute Podcast is a thoughtful conversation about trauma, treatment, and learning along the way. Drawing on clinical work, EMDR, and experience with veterans and other high-exposure populations, the show looks at how trauma affects people—and what helps over time.
Episodes include consultation-style discussions, teaching moments, and reflections on PTSD, moral injury, survivor guilt, identity, and recovery. Whether an episode leans practical or reflective, the goal is the same: to talk about trauma in a way that’s honest, grounded, and actually helpful.
