Therapy Talks

Watch along on YouTube

Terms like ‘anxiety’ and ‘trauma’ can feel like an identity - sometimes, it’s hard to imagine a life beyond the grips of these daily struggles. If you’ve felt like this, too, this episode is for you. Hailey Kanigan is on a mission to help us all live with purpose and stop defining ourselves by our anxiety.

This episode explores the mind-body connection by demystifying hot topics such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and how important meeting our physical needs is to our mental health. Barb and Hailey help us understand the “Window of Tolerance” concept with practical steps to reduce baseline anxiety and regulate our emotions.

Hailey Kanigan holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology, a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology, and is an EMDR Therapist.
