  <title>Unfreezing Trauma</title>
  <description>Today’s guest suffered relentlessly until something unexpected happened.&amp;amp;nbsp; This ‘something’ turned her life around and can turn yours around too so that you can start to enjoy family, friends, and life in general.&amp;amp;nbsp; Tune in as Mary Held shares her journey to unfreeze her trauma and become an advocate for others. &amp;amp;nbsp; Guest: Mary Held lived through various traumas as a child but buried them within herself.&amp;amp;nbsp; She self-medicated with alcohol, becoming an alcoholic which led to more traumatic experiences.&amp;amp;nbsp; Although she eventually found long term sobriety, she still kept the traumas buried inside.&amp;amp;nbsp; After some time though, these traumas surfaced as undiagnosed complex (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) PTSD causing seizures which mimicked epilepsy. For eleven years, these seizures ruled her life.&amp;amp;nbsp; Then a friend suggested Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.&amp;amp;nbsp; Through this therapy, Mary found a way to process those traumas.&amp;amp;nbsp; Unfreezing Trauma: My Private Journal of EMDR Recovery details her recovery. After finishing the therapy, Mary went on to earn her master’s degree at MSU, received a post-graduate certification as a Developmental Educator, and developed a nationally recognized program to help students upgrade their math skills for college. Mary is a long-time resident of the Lansing.
