What We Talked About
Erika introduces the next, incredible, wonderful, understanding, mental health therapist at The Center for Mental and Sexual Health, Dr. Sohna Shook!
We’re talking about the varied issues that Sohna sees in her office and the people that she loves to help.
Trauma, any kind of trauma, is Sohna’s favorite type of case to unravel, she says. Trauma is almost a normalcy at this point in our society, and not many people realize that. Folks sometimes misunderstand about trauma, how it works, and the difference between trauma and other experiences.
The first thing Sohna does when getting serious with trauma therapy is talk about core beliefs, and encourages her client to ask “Where is that coming from?”
EMDR: Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a treatment for trauma that Sohna recommends often.
Sohna describes a bit of her history in working with clients, having children, and the career changes that were impacted by the movement of her life. She also opens up about how she met her inner nerd.
