In this episode, Tami Simon speaks with Laurel Parnell—psychologist, longtime spiritual practitioner, and a leading innovator in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). Laurel developed attachment-focused EMDR and resource tapping, and now, in her new book with Sounds True, Releasing What Isn't Yours: Living from Your True Self Through Multidimensional Integrative Healing, she introduces her most far-reaching approach yet—one born out of the devastating loss of her son. Together, they explore: ·How EMDR works, and why bilateral stimulation—whether eye movements, tapping, or sound—seems to unlock the brain's natural healing system ·The difference between EMDR and resource tapping, and how each supports transformation ·Why Laurel came to believe that trauma work can open a portal to other dimensions ·Missing and attached soul parts, spirit release work, and how to sense what isn't yours ·A profound, real-time account of guiding a soul's crossing at Esalen, and its connection to the region's Indigenous history ·Why Laurel sees Western psychotherapy as, in some ways, colonized—and what other healing traditions have to teach it ·The image of a multidimensional mycelium network of light and love that connects all beings This is a candid, moving conversation about grief, the limits of what evidence-based therapy can explain, and the courage it takes to follow where healing actually leads.
