Why Trauma Doesn’t Respond to Talk Therapy—and What Actually Works

You’ve told your story a thousand times. You've analyzed it, intellectualized it, therapized it. So why do you still feel like you’re living in it?

Because trauma isn’t just in the mind. It’s in the body. It’s in your nervous system. It’s in the silence between your words. And traditional talk therapy—while valuable—often can’t touch the roots.

EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) bypass the endless loop of “Why did this happen?” and go straight to “Where is it living in me now?”

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories. KAP softens defenses and opens access to deep emotional material that might otherwise stay locked away. Together, they create a potent doorway for transformation.

So no, you’re not broken. You just need a deeper map.
