The Fraud Feeling: EMDR for High Achievers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this first solo episode of The Self Careapist Therapist Podcast, I'm diving into the treatment of high achievers and entrepreneurs and some of the common symptoms they may experience, including ADHD, depression, anxiety symptoms and imposter syndrome. I detail how Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be a helpful treatment modality, as well as the course of training to begin using EMDR as a therapist.
You’ll also hear how the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model rewires the brain to replace “I’m not enough” with a grounded sense of capability.
I close with my own self care framework that can be used for you or for your clients, to help get closer to alignment. You can find the link to your copy of the framework to work through on your own here.
