How does EMDR work?
Weaving EMDR into Therapy with Wendy Byrd, LPC, LMFT
Podcast link for emails and social media:
https://link.chtbl.com/wendy-byrd
Episode Description:
We know that at its best talk therapy, regardless of the theoretical approach being utilized is typically limited in helping folks fully process through and let go of trauma. But, what about those times when, as therapists, we find ourselves working with a patient that seems to be stuck in their treatment process, due to experienced trauma? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach we can utilize to help patients accelerate the information, processing other traumatic events, and developing more truth-based assessment and understanding of the event and themselves. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor is joined by Wendy Byrd, LPC, LMFT, and president of the Board of Directors for EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). Wendy has over 15 years of experience in working with trauma and together Graham and Wendy discuss the incorporation of EMDR woven into the therapeutic process.
How will I communicate with my therapist?
After selecting your therapist and booking your selected time, you will be prompted to create an account in our secure client portal. You will sign in there to meet with your therapist virtually over video chat. If you are located in Austin, Texas you may choose to meet with select therapists in person.

The Impact of Untreated Trauma with Wendy Byrd, LPC, LMFT
Podcast link for emails and social media:
https://link.chtbl.com/byrd-wendy
Episode Description:
Trauma and traumatic events can impact us, and those effects can ripple to other aspects of our lives that we may not be aware of. In today’s episode, Dr. Graham Taylor is joined by Wendy Byrd, LPC, LMFT, and president of the Board of Directors for EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). Together they discuss the impact of trauma and the ways the brain stores a traumatic event, like issues in avoidance, betrayal of self, substance use, shame, and the biological and physiological effects of our own body. We also discuss how trauma can ripple into our family system and impact relationships in your life, show up in how you parent your children, and the risks of secondary trauma. We want to encourage the importance of seeking treatment, so trauma does not negatively affect those in your lives, around you nor limit your potential in life.
