The Power Of Brainspotting With Dr. Mercedes Samudio
Friday, 1 May, 2026
Every time I've talked to Mercedes Samudio, something has happened to my nervous system that was just total trust. I feel her integrity and vulnerability and I walk away feeling inspired. After this particular interview, I felt like everyone I know should hire her and get trauma healing from her. I also feel grateful for this interview because I am a Brainspotting practitioner and I believe so deeply in the power of Brainspotting. Mercedes explains it in a way that will help you really get why it is so effective. And she talks about how receiving Brainspotting changed her healing trajectory. Dr. Mercedes Samudio (she/her), DSW, LCSW, AfroNerd, author, and mental health advocate, empowers Black families through trauma-informed care, pop culture scholarship, and innovative healing frameworks. Founder of Shame Proof Parenting®, she integrates geek culture and social justice into culturally responsive practices, mentorship, and clinician supervision, championing mental wellness, resilience, and representation. Here's some of what we talked about: Her wakeup around her own unhealed trauma in 2020 Using EMDR and also identifying its limits Why the process of Brainspotting can hold marginalized identities and bodies particularly well (in the hands of the right practitioner) Discovering Brainspotting and then diving all the way in How Brainspotting works Convincing her therapist to learn Brainspotting Recovering young parts of herself in her trauma healing journey Integrating new boundaries into her work to prevent burnout Show notes at https://anniezam.com/podcast/258
