Rewriting the Story: Trauma, EMDR and Resilience with Kate Michaud

What does it mean to truly rewrite your story after trauma? In this episode of Lessons in Discernment, I sit down with Kate Michaud—EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, social worker, and founder ofNew Mindset Therapy.

Together, we explore the power of EMDR as a tool for reprocessing trauma, the unintended consequences of diagnostic labels, and the path to reclaiming agency after experiences of narcissistic abuse and emotional manipulation.

For me, EMDR was a turning point in my own journey of rediscovering self-worth. This conversation deepens that perspective with Kate’s expertise and her vision for a more empowering, humane future of mental health.
