A Goddess Interrupted Podcast

Welcome back to A Goddess Interrupted podcast for another episode!

Today, we feature Eliza Fernandes, EMDR Certified Therapist & EMDRIA Approved Consultant.

She discusses with us her form of therapy (EMDR - Eye Movement Densitization and Reprocessing) and answers questions about how it works and how it can help any survivor of trauma.

I loved speaking with Eliza and learning more about trauma and it's effects and how EMDR can help and I think this episode is truly valuable for our listeners and for myself too!

Eliza's practice is currently full and she is not taking new clients, but she is certainly able to answer any questions you may have or refer you to another EMDR practitioner that can help you! You are welcome to visit Eliza's website at www.torontoemdr.com for more information. She has specified that getting in touch with her via email is the best way to reach her. Eliza's email is: knowingrstrength@yahoo.ca

See you in the next one and thank you so much for listening!

Welcome back to A Goddess Interrupted!

This feature is all about the story of The Goddess Jungle Flower (Toronto based poet, photographer, interviewer and humanitarian) and her triumph over psychological and physical abuse and how like a phoenix rising from the ashes, she founded a survivor community now going on 8 years strong called "Reclaim Your Voice" located in Toronto, Canada. Reclaim Your Voice is an organization that curates safe spaces where people who have experienced abuse and sexual violence can share their stories.

Please stay tuned to the end of the podcast, where she shares her powerful poem "Fire Fly" with us!

this episode contains sensitive and possibly triggering content. BUT ... it is my intent that through the sharing of our stories, we can reach a place of just being supportive of one another and that this content no longer is a trigger for us. ~ Namaste

PS: As the interview was conducted via internet phone, there are moments of lag in the beginning and end of the podcast where either of us sound like we are interrupting one another, but that is not the case. Thank you in advance for your understanding!

Bravo to the brave Goddess Alma for coming on to the podcast to share her story with us.

During her story, she shared with me a book that awakened her to understand that she was being abused. That book is called "Why Does He Do That?" by Lundy Bancroft.

It is described as follows:

"In this groundbreaking bestseller, Lundy Bancroft—a counselor who specializes in working with abusive men—uses his knowledge about how abusers think to help women recognize when they are being controlled or devalued, and to find ways to get free of an abusive relationship."

Perhaps this book can help shed some insight to your situation or help you in your healing journey as well!

* this episode contains expletives and of course sensitive and possibly triggering content. BUT ... it is my intent that through the sharing of our stories, we can reach a place of just being supportive of one another and that this content no longer is a trigger for us.
