Living Well with Janet: EMDR, Trauma, and Mental Wellbeing with Dr. Monica Band

Published: Nov. 15, 2023, 1 a.m.

What is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and who can benefit from it? Is trauma limited to single-event experiences? How does Gen Z approach mental health versus previous generations?\xa0\nTo help me answer these questions is Dr. Monica Band, an award-winning practicing mental health therapist and educator, specializing in providing trauma-informed care for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), with an emphasis on Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and LGBTQIA+ communities. She is also the host of a new podcast called I Need to Ask You Something from Lemonada Media and the Jed Foundation, a timely series featuring stories about mental health, told directly from teens across the country.\xa0\nNo matter your circumstance, I believe almost everyone can benefit from better understanding the role that trauma plays in one\u2019s well-being and learn about methods for better coping in today\u2019s chaotic world.\n__________________________________________\nHost: Janet Wang\nEditor: Victoria Cheng\n__________________________________________\nP A R T N E R S\n\u2022 Pampers:\xa0 For trusted protection, trust Pampers, the #1 pediatrician recommended brand.\n\u2022 BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month with code \u201cABG\u201d at betterhelp.com/ABG\n__________________________________________\nC O N N E C T W I T H U S\n\u2022 Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook\n\u2022 Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here\n\u2022 Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here\n\u2022 Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com\n__________________________________________\nS U P P O R T U S\n\u2022 Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com\n\u2022 Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support\n\u2022 More about us at asianbossgirl.com\nLearn more about your ad choices.
