Healing the Fragmented Self: EMDR & Sand Tray Therapy for Complex Trauma and Dissociationled Episode
Episode 17
Monday, 1 September, 2025
In this episode, we explore the powerful integration of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy and sand tray-based therapy as transformative approaches for individuals healing from complex trauma and dissociation. Join us, and our guest, EMDRIA Certified Therapist,™ Consultant™ and Trainer,™ Ana Gomez, MC, LPC, as we dive into how these modalities support trauma resolution, enhance emotional regulation, and foster deeper self-integration from children through adults.We will discuss how EMDR helps reprocess traumatic memories, while sand tray therapy offers a symbolic, sensory-rich space for expression when words fall short. We will share clinical insights, real-world examples (anonymized), and how these therapies can be especially supportive for those with dissociative symptoms, including parts work and inner child healing.Whether you are a mental health professional, trauma survivor, or simply curious about somatic and expressive therapies, this episode sheds light on gentle, effective pathways to healing the deeply wounded self. Tune in for a grounded, compassionate conversation on healing from the inside out.ResourcesAna M.
