In today’s expert episode, I’m joined by Oxford-educated, LA-based psychotherapist and author Jane Garnett to dive deep into the healing power of EMDR therapy, especially for anyone navigating the pain of heartbreak or feeling stuck after a breakup. We explore why EMDR works when traditional talk therapy can fall short, particularly for perfectionists and people-pleasers, and discuss how it helps process trauma and shift deep-rooted relationship patterns. Jane breaks down what EMDR looks like, why it’s so transformative, and how it empowers you to move beyond just self-knowledge into real, embodied change. We also talk about the importance of finding the right EMDR therapist, how heartbreak can be a surprising privilege and catalyst for growth, and what to look for if you’re interested in trying EMDR for yourself.
