Get Unstuck From Emotional Trauma
I have a special treat for you today! I have invited my very own counselor, Carrie Ryberg, to come on the show today and explain a type of emotional therapy called Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR for short.
That’s a mouthful to explain a relatively simple way of helping your brain reprocess painful memories. I have experienced first-hand the effectiveness of this type of therapy but I’m not always able to adequately explain it to others. So I invited the expert on to tell you why it works and how it can help you overcome trauma.

Carrie Ryberg is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in IL with nearly a decade of experience counseling adults, adolescents, and couples on a variety of areas. She has particular interest and experience working with trauma survivors. As a Christian, Carrie is equipped to work through the spiritual aspects of counseling as well.

Connie Baker inspires people to thrive with grace and ease regardless of their circumstances. She learned about resilience when she desperately needed it in 2008 and began exploring tools and techniques to begin self-regulating her response to the stress in her life.
Then, 10 years later, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she knew she was equipped to navigate the uncertainty ahead, which led her to write her book, Stay On: Build Resilience and Thrive While Facing Cancer. Her book offers practical steps to grow more resilient.
Connie has been involved in healthcare for decades. After graduate school, she became a child life specialist, working with pediatric patients and their families. During that time, she co-created a pain assessment tool that is used around the world, the Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Rating Scale. Perhaps you have seen it.
She is the executive director of the Wong-Baker FACES Foundation as well as an encourager to people experiencing life challenges. And today, most people are.
