You Don't Have to Do This Alone with Therapist Sarah Amos on Grief & Trauma
Licensed therapist Sarah Amos on when you actually need therapy, EMDR, and grief.   Stephanie sits down with Sarah Amos, owner and lead therapist at Sparrow Creek Counseling in Nashville, for a full conversation about mental health. Sarah explains the name behind her practice: sparrows know how to protect themselves, so when a storm rolls in or food gets scarce, they find a cool dry place to rest and preserve their energy instead of powering through. That's how she sees therapy, a creek where you rest before you go back out to fly.   They get into the real stuff. Sarah gives the honest signal that it's time to seek help. When Stephanie brings up losing her grandmother in November and going through her things box by box, Sarah names why that grief keeps surfacing: you're not going backward, you're a different person now, living in a different reality than before.   You do not have to do this alone. That's the whole point.   FAQs    1. How do I know if I actually need therapy or if I'm overreacting?  When the people around you start responding to your pain with "I don't know what to tell you," that's the sign your support system has given all it can and you probably need more than a listening ear.   2. What is EMDR and how does it help with trauma and grief?  EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to calm your nervous system while you process, so you can observe that something happened instead of dropping into fight or flight every time you think about it.   3. Why do I still feel grief hit me when I thought I was doing better?  Because the loss stays in your body and your mind, so those waves aren't setbacks, they're you still living with something that's part of your life now.   4. What's the difference between talk therapy and EMDR?  Talk therapy uses your thinking to work through your story and beliefs, while EMDR works through your body and doesn't require much talking at all.   5. Where can I find Sparrow Creek Counseling and do they offer virtual sessions?  You can find the whole team at Sparrow Creek Counseling online, with in-office sessions in Midtown Nashville and virtual therapy available across the state of Tennessee.   Follow Sparrow Creek Counseling on Facebook and Instagram for free mental health tips,  https://www.facebook.com/saraamoscounseling/ https://www.instagram.com/sparrowcreekcounseling/   and visit their website to meet the team. https://www.sparrowcreekcounseling.com/   Where to find Spread The Positive?   Socials  https://www.facebook.com/spreadthepositive.net https://www.instagram.com/spreadthepositive/   Website https://www.spreadthepositive.net/
