  • E275 - EMDR: Safe Miracle Therapy OR Ineffective Scam?
    Jun 22 2025
    ► Start Our Premium Course Trial: ⁠⁠https://understandable.net/⁠ ⁠(Ad)If you haven’t been living under a rock lately… you’ve probably seen this everywhere: EMDR therapy.Prince Harry is using EMDR to cope with his past. Miley Cyrus credits it for her healing. Even Sandra Bullock has opened up about her experience with it.EMDR is rapidly gaining mainstream attention — but is it truly a miracle, or just another overhyped trend?As someone who’s worked with multiple therapists on childhood trauma, I’ve spent years searching for effective healing methods. So when I first heard about EMDR, I had to try it.Some moments felt genuinely transformative. But others left me questioning everything. In this video, we’ll explore the full truth about EMDR: its origins, the science, the controversy — and yes, the personal stories, including my own.And what you maybe don't expect: The dark and surprising story of its founder… which almost no one talks about. So — is EMDR the breakthrough it claims to be? Or is there something deeper beneath the surface? ► Links and Resources: 15 Trauma Treatments: https://youtu.be/UaslCkvMpws?si=u0lqaj2rAqQz0KdEPVT-Episode: https://youtu.be/2iT8Msp8Vx0?si=-D1bPftsdgTjY0Xq Prince Harry EMDR: https://www.emdria.org/blog/prince-harry-speaks-out-about-his-experience-with-emdr-therapy/Miley Cyrus EMDR: https://meaww.com/miley-cyrus-reveals-eye-movement-therapy-really-helped-her-healSandra Bullock EMDR: https://www.accessonline.com/articles/sandra-bullock-reveals-she-uses-emdr-therapy-i-was-so-scared-to-do-it-exclusiveEMDR Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKrfH43srg8Francine Shapiro: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/11/science/francine-shapiro-dead.htmland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francine_Shapiro Pseudoscience Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11098395/ Dr. Roger McFillin Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ysuiHyy7TGOnFZlOWeU9l?si=i6ieKqDwRP6zk8ihj5bCoQNLP article: https://efektasgroup.com/why-nlp-is-criticised/ Self-Administered EMDR Video: https://youtu.be/DALbwI7m1vM?si=syoWZLAM_s2HXTp7 Neuro Transmission Video EMDR: https://youtu.be/PZmvk30gJEQ?si=UdY65__84e57bjOMVagus Nerve: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagus_nerveEMDR Fingers: https://riverpointbehavioral.com/blog/emdr-what-it-is-how-it-works-and-its-phases/EMDR WHO: https://www.who.int/news/item/06-08-2013-who-releases-guidance-on-mental-health-care-after-traumaEMDR APA: https://www.apa.org/ptsd-guideline/treatments/eye-movement-reprocessing ► Subscribe On Your Favorite Platform!YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGiJdF0yeTyRJanW_uSICDw?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/2gaheQLxBwByM9txVzlpI6⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/understandable/id1399616905⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Music:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://music.amazon.de/podcasts/ee3580cb-61c5-4aa1-9ad4-1204014078e7/understandable⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► Episode Timestamps:01:22 What Is EMDR?04:37 The Controversy About EMDR07:29 Why Do So Many People Swear By EMDR?08:54 When EMDR Doesn’t Work16:21 Does EMDR Really Work?17:41 Final Thoughts► Reach Out To Me :)E-Mail: info@understandable.net► Hi, my name is Robert!

  • E273 - Can’t Focus Anymore? ADHD, Dopamine Addiction, Trauma - or All of Them?
    Jun 8 2025

    ► Start Our Premium Course Trial: ⁠https://understandable.net/⁠ (Ad)


    Some people say we’ve lost our ability to focus because ADHD is on the rise.

    Others say the real problem is dopamine addiction — and that a detox is the only fix.

    And some are convinced it’s unresolved childhood trauma disrupting our attention.

    I wanted to find out for myself… and what I discovered was surprising.

    Because: There’s actually one shared mechanism in the brain behind all three.

    In today’s video, we’ll uncover what that is — and how you can finally reclaim a laser-sharp focus.

  • E272 - Avoidant Attachment vs. Avoidant Personality Disorder: When Isolation Turns Toxic
    Jun 1 2025

    ► Start Our Premium Course Trial: https://understandable.net/ (Ad)


    Do you sometimes just wish to “be normal”?

    Hang out with people?

    Not needing to isolate and distance yourself constantly?

    Well, then you first have to understand why you behave like this.

    So, maybe you are just a bit avoidant, or even have some form of avoidance personality disorder.

    Or anywhere between, of course.

    Today, we’re uncovering the differences between an avoidant attachment style and an avoidant personality disorder, plus what could be between them, and at which point avoidance and isolation become pathological.

    You know what’s insane?

    People who never did anything wrong in their lives, but just have been themselves as children, feel ashamed and anxious in their adult lives.

    Many of us who come from a childhood with judging, criticizing, and screaming parents don’t actually know what anxious and shame-free relationships feel like.

    But the truth is: there is a life on the other side: happy, fulfilled, and non-shame-based relationships are possible - also for you.

    How? I will show you throughout today’s video, which is, to give you an overview - video no 6 out of 8 of my series on the core symptoms of CPTSD. (all the other links below)
