Has your teenager experienced a trauma that’s effecting their mental health? Perhaps you’ve asked them to see a therapist but they resist because it takes ‘too long & they can’t fit therapy in with all their studies’ & other commitments.
If this sounds like a problem your family has been struggling with, you’re going to get a lot of ideas during this episode.
Introduction & Welcome
Dr Marie Thompson is a Clinical Psychologist and Medical Director at Vivamus. She specialises in EMDR which is a very effective treatment in helping with all sorts of issues including trauma, bereavement, anxiety and relationship issues.
Today’s Topic - The problem we’re solving
Good morning!
Today I’m interviewing Dr Marie Thompson from The Vivamus Clinic in Health Care City for the Raising Mentally Fit Kids’ podcast🎙
We’re going to talk about helping teens deal with trauma using EMDR Therapy.
👀
Has your teen been struggling to deal with something that’s happened to them❓
Are you concerned about them being traumatised and not coping with their memories, emotions and worries? 😳
Are they refusing therapy because they can’t fit it in with school work & they don’t want to talk to a stranger for hours & hours?
Do you doubt yourself or feel guilty that they’re not getting therapy even though you know something is not quite right 🤔
Dr Thompson & I are going to chat about a therapy called EMDR that could be just what you’re looking for.
Please leave any questions you’d like me to ask Dr Marie in the comments before 11am & I’ll make sure your question is answered in the podcast.
