Healing Confessional Podcast with Robin Shapiro

“There is more stress in our bodies right now, we are in what some people call a “mobilized state” a lot of the time.”

— Robin Shapiro, LICSW

The above quote was taken from Robin Shapiro’s recent conversation with Elyse Harper on the Healing Confessionals podcast about what we are all experiencing in these difficult times. In the podcast, Robin discusses her upcoming webinar, Defeating Despair: A Guide to Psychotherapy in Hard Times sponsored by EMDR & Beyond on January 22, 2021. 

This podcast will give you a taste of what Robin will cover in her upcoming webinar. She talks about how our current challenging times are traumatizing, even stirring up old and chronic traumatic states. Issues of safety and security are impacted with racial and political unrest, with the pandemic exacerbating long term societal issues of poverty, unemployment, and health care. Robin mentions that clients can be helped by having assistance to name their issues, learning to be present with them in their bodies, and how to move through them with EMDR and other modalities.

Robin Shapiro has provided much to the EMDR Community, teaching her listeners with her trademark openness, clarity, and warmth.
