b'Healing trauma using somatic experiencing (SE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).\\n\\nWhen is it addiction and when is it trauma?\\n\\nMany people who accept their sex addiction issues embrace that their focus must be on recovery. What if you\\u2019re in recovery and working your program, but life isn\\u2019t improving? What if old behaviors keep creeping up or your relationships are still suffering. What if relapses, near slips, and shame start to tank recovery?\\n\\nSometimes your problem isn\\u2019t a lack of recovery dedication, sometimes it\\u2019s trauma. Unfortunately, when people hear the word trauma, they think of voyaging through the dark night of a soul. This can lead to fears of further relapses, fear of digging through the past, and worse, fear of yet another bad experience with a therapist who insists on treating the \\u201cT\\u201d word without knowing how. In this episode, Carol the Coach will talk with Rebecca Stokes about the treatment modalities that work best for treating trauma, and how to navigate the alphabet soup of terms you might encounter like EMDR, SE, and IFS. We\\u2019ll also explore when to add trauma treatment to your recovery, how to decide which program might work best for you, and how to find and interview the right treatment provider.'
