  • Summary

  • Send us a text

    Dr. April Minjarez is the only therapist I know who is both experienced at healing infant trauma and an end of life doula. She is also an expert in multiple trauma healing modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and an amazing mentor, teacher, and healer.

    In this episode you will hear how a terrifying experience with gangs in middle school inspired April to become a therapist. You will also learn how EMDR therapy stimulates healing by reprocessing components of traumatic memories, and how this modality can integrate ketamine journeys. Also, you will learn April's compelling one word answer to my question about the meaning of life.
