Struggling with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or reactions that feel out of proportion to everyday life? This episode dives into the power of EMDR therapy, a proven technique to help moms heal from trauma, regulate emotions, and reconnect with peace and confidence.

Dr. Elana is joined by licensed therapist and trauma expert Korah Hoffman, who breaks down what EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) really is, how it works in the brain and why it’s transforming the way we support moms dealing with birth trauma, parenting stress, unresolved childhood wounds and more. Drawing from both clinical experience and her own personal healing journey, Korah offers hope-filled insights into how trauma shows up in motherhood and how EMDR can offer lasting relief.

Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, reacting strongly to everyday parenting moments, or just feeling emotionally stuck, this episode offers practical guidance, gentle encouragement and a powerful reminder: healing is possible and you’re not alone. Tune in to discover if EMDR might be the missing piece in your emotional wellness journey.
