    112: Rethinking EMDR Readiness: Beyond First and Worst [Why Women Go To Therapy Series]
    Jan 20 2026
    In this episode of The Zero Disturbance Podcast, Kambria Evans continues the Why Women Go to Therapy series with a passionate, clinically grounded conversation about EMDR, readiness, and why so many people—especially women—are being incorrectly told they’re “not ready” for trauma processing. Kambria breaks down what EMDR is, how the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model works, and why strict adherence to “first and worst” traumatic targets—often emphasized in early training—can become limiting for both clinicians and clients. This episode honors the importance of EMDR basic training and standard protocol, which lays a crucial foundation for ethical, effective trauma work. At the same time, Kambria highlights how decades of clinical innovation within the EMDR framework have expanded options far beyond what was available in the 1980s—allowing therapists to work more flexibly, safely, and responsively. Kambria challenges the idea that EMDR must be intense or retraumatizing to be effective, and makes a compelling case for a rebrand of EMDR—one that emphasizes regulation, choice, and accessibility rather than fear or overwhelm. By starting with positive targets, mid-level disturbance, and nervous system capacity, EMDR can support clarity, agency, and healing for far more people. This episode is for women seeking clarity about their readiness for EMDR, clinicians who feel boxed in by rigid interpretations of protocol, and anyone curious about how EMDR can be used more ethically, flexibly, and effectively. What You’ll Learn in This Episode What EMDR really is (and what it isn’t)Why most people are ready for EMDR when it’s applied flexiblyThe difference between EMDR readiness and protocol rigidityWhy respecting standard protocol and expanding options both matterHow positive targets and low-level disturbance can be powerful entry pointsWhy telling someone they’re “not ready” can be retraumatizingHow EMDR supports clarity, power, and choice—not just trauma reliefWhat questions to ask when interviewing an EMDR therapistWhy women deserve more agency in their healing process Who This Episode Is For Women navigating divorce, loss, identity shifts, parenting, menopause, or societal pressureClinicians trained in EMDR who feel constrained by standard protocol aloneTherapists wanting to work ethically, responsibly, and flexibly within the EMDR frameworkAnyone curious about trauma, neuroscience, and healing beyond pathology Favorite Positive Targets Before Processing Negative Material Kambria shares several preferred positive and resourcing targets that can be used before engaging negative or high-disturbance material: Modified Resource Development Installation (RDI) – Janina Fisher (2001)Four Blinks – Tom ZimmermanPositive Affect Tolerance Protocol – Andrew Leeds3 Figures – Laurel Parnell If you’re a clinician and this episode resonates, I want you to know about a way to go deeper; The Lesson Plan is a simple, practical framework for assessing readiness and integrating EMDR without flooding clients.

    111: Stuck in Time vs. Moving Forward: What EMDR Teaches Us [Why Women Go To Therapy Series]
    Jan 13 2026
    In this episode of the Zero Disturbance Podcast, we explore the relationship between time, learning, and healing — and why simply waiting for time to pass doesn’t resolve trauma. Through a fictional clinical story of a woman navigating post-separation co-parenting, we unpack how people can become “stuck in time,” how EMDR helps clarify the difference between then and now, and why healing is about intentionally creating new learning and memory networks. We also discuss symptom onset, internalized voices from early caregivers, and how EMDR (often combined with parts work) helps reduce the power of old authority figures living in our minds. This episode reframes trauma not as damage, but as learning — and highlights how expanding positive beliefs on purpose gives clients more choice, clarity, and agency in the present. Key Takeaways: Time alone doesn’t heal; learning determines whether we move forwardPeople can be “stuck in time” without realizing it’s happeningEMDR strengthens the nervous system’s distinction between then vs. nowSymptoms are communication, not pathologyPositive memory networks can be created intentionallyInternalized voices from caregivers can be neutralized, not foughtTrauma responses often contain strategies that can be repurposed Who This Episode Is For: Women healing from relational trauma or separationTherapists working with complex trauma and EMDRClients who feel confused about why symptoms appeared “later”Clinicians wanting a clearer framework for time + learning If you’re a clinician and this episode resonates, I want you to know about a way to go deeper; The Lesson Plan is a simple, practical framework for assessing readiness and integrating EMDR without flooding clients.

    110: EMDR Doesn’t Have to Be Intense: Why We’re Getting It Wrong [Why Women Go To Therapy Series]
    Jan 8 2026

    Many people believe EMDR has to be intense, overwhelming, or focused on reliving trauma — but that belief is limiting access to one of the most powerful therapeutic tools we have. In this episode of the Zero Disturbance Podcast, we unpack why EMDR doesn’t have to start with the “worst memory,” how beginning with lower-intensity targets in phase 4 or even positive targets (also called resource development installation) in phase 2 can be just as effective to get started, and why framing EMDR solely as a trauma modality is scaring clients away.

    This conversation reframes EMDR as a way of mapping learning, expanding positive beliefs, and restoring agency, choice, and power — especially for clients with complex or chronic trauma histories. Whether you’re a therapist, a client, or both, this episode offers a gentler, more expansive way to understand what EMDR can actually do.

    Key Takeaways:

    • EMDR doesn’t require starting with the most intense traumatic memory
    • “Not being ready for EMDR” is often a clinical myth rooted in limited training
    • Starting with lower-disturbance or positive targets helps the nervous system generalize healing
    • Focusing only on traumatic content can remove client agency and increase overwhelm
    • EMDR is about mapping learning — not reliving trauma
    • Expanding positive beliefs can neutralize traumatic material without directly targeting it
    • Giving clients choice, power, and control is itself reparative
