55: Beyond Good Enough: A Journey through Trauma, EMDR, and Motherhood with Jamie Vollmoeller, LCSW

Heart-Centered Therapist: Elevating Practice in Mental Health, Relationships, Self-Care and Personal Growth

In this episode, Jamie Vollmoeller, LCSW, shares her wisdom and insights on the challenging yet rewarding roles of being a mom, a therapist, and an entrepreneur. As the owner of Long Island EMDR and co-owner of Brave Counseling and Psychiatry, Jamie truly knows how to juggle multiple hats with finesse.

Episode Highlights:

Relatability Matters: Being a heart-centered therapist means being relatable to our clients. When we can take down our masks, we create genuine connection with our clients and foster trust and safety.

EMDR Therapy: Jamie opens up about her own experiences with EMDR therapy and how it impacted her during a vulnerable time in her life - being one month pregnant with her IVF baby. Her vulnerability and authenticity shine through as she shares her journey of breaking cyclical patterns from being a “trauma kid”.

Embrace the Messy: We talk about embracing the messy aspects of life and the importance of self-compassion when we stumble or fall off track. Jamie reminds us we all have moments when we need to take a step back and practice self-care.

Jamie's podcast, "Good Enough with the Trauma Therapist," dives deeper into the topic of self-care and provides invaluable insights for therapists and parents alike.

As always, this episode is filled with heart-centered conversations and valuable takeaways.
