In today’s episode, we welcome Bryan Blattert, LMSW. His transition from a committed firefighter and paramedic to a clinical therapist is as inspiring as it is remarkable. Bryan's early career at the Grand Rapids Fire Department was met with an unforeseen challenge after suffering a grave accident in 2010 while preparing for a dirt bike race. Unfortunately, the accident ended Bryan’s career as a first responder and inflicted a spinal injury that forever altered the course of his life. Undeterred by his circumstances, Bryan embraced a new path, focusing on his abilities and the support of his community to adapt and thrive.
Specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, Bryan uses this innovative, evidence-based method to help individuals heal from traumatic experiences. EMDR therapy is unique, as it doesn't rely on talk therapy or medications. Instead, it's an interactive psychotherapy technique that uses a patient's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements. These movements dampen the power of emotionally charged memories of past traumatic events. As we dive deeper into today’s discussion, Bryan will share his experiences and his insights into EMDR, shedding light on its process, whom it can help, and why it's considered a significant breakthrough in the field of psychological treatment.
