November Spotlight - Healing Trauma through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) & Pelvic Floor Therapy
Grateful to trauma therapist, Karen Weiman of for explaining how EMDR helps the brain and body safely reprocess trauma, shifting you from constant alertness to calm awareness.
We also discussed how trauma therapy and pelvic floor therapy work together to support emotional and physical healing.
If you’ve wondered how trauma affects the body—or how mind-body healing happens—this is an interview you won’t want to miss.

Name: Karen Weiman
Practice/Business Name: Peace Rising with Karen Weiman
Field of Expertise: Trauma Psychotherapy
Who do you help (your ideal client): 1) Adults who have PTSD or those who have been through any kind of shock trauma, such as car accidents, assaults, sexual abuse, medical trauma, birth trauma. Also, 2) Adults with high functioning anxiety who also grew up with emotionally immature parents.
What do you love about what you do: Getting to know my clients and watching them go from being at a very difficult place emotionally to becoming happier, and more confident and secure in themselves.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received: It sounds cliche, but listening to your gut and taking action based on when feels like the next right thing. Sometimes based on what has happened in our lives, we can be disconnected from what we want for ourselves, or our gut. The therapy I do helps you reconnect to that, so you can better listen to what is there and what you want for yourself, and then take steps based on that information.
What other field/profession do you most closely work with: I work most closely with psychiatrists/mental health nurse practitioners and other medical providers to collaborate care. I offer this to all my clients and they can opt in or out of me reaching out to any other providers.
