Ever feel like a past experience is "stuck," haunting your thoughts no matter how much you talk about it? On this episode of Tracks for the Journey, psychologist Dr. Sharla Boyd explains that trauma isn't a character flaw—it’s a neurological hurdle.

What’s inside:

• Learn how EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps the brain "digest" painful memories that have been stuck for years.
• Understand the "weed" analogy: why we need to stop just mowing over our symptoms and start pulling trauma out by the root.

The Benefit: You’ll walk away with a new perspective on your own resilience and a roadmap for how to finally find peace. Listen now! 🎧

How can we navigate the path after the loss of a loved one? I think we must shift the focus away from seeking "closure"—a misleading term—to the active process of adjusting to a new reality. The work emphasizes that while grief is a complex physical and emotional disruption, real healing is about adjusting to a new normal where they are still present in your heart, but your life continues to grow. Learn from the insights of Scripture, George Bonanno, and David Kessler toward a path of meaning and hope.
