Episode 69- Types of Therapy with Ana Maldonado, LPC, Part 2 — An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth

In this episode of "An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth" Sydney and Kelly continue their interview with Ana Maldonado, LPC, discussing different types of therapy.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR
Especially for trauma and distressing situations
Trauma is stored in your body, this approach is a bottom up versus the other therapies that start with the head...logic etc...
Desensitizes the memory, bi-lateral stimulation
Do not have to talk through the whole experience
Therapists require training for this therapy
Was created for PTSD, but is effective on OCD, anxiety, and other disorders
Not necessarily a stand alone treatment
Internal Family Systems, IFS, the movie Inside Out is based on this
How you either protect your inner self or exile parts of your inner self
It is more than just your emotions, sometimes it is general concepts, or younger self
Emphasizes self-compassion
Works well with EMDR
How do you find a therapist
