That's right. If you're ready to be sharper and have better memory, mood, energy, and focus,

well then stay with us. Here are Daniel and Tana Aeman.

Welcome back. This week we're going to talk about what to do when the hurt won't go away.

When you have had emotional trauma in your life, and it keeps haunting you. Now I know you have no experience with this.

I have no experience with emotional trauma. So your first gift to me was like 10 sessions of EMDR and I thought you were insane.

I'm like why would you ever give me something like that?

And I remember we had this talk and we were dating about how emotional trauma can affect things like your physical health.

And I was telling you how I had gone in for upper and lower GIs when I was four years old,

and you said, well, what was going on in your life at that time I'm like

nothing I'm just like I was fine and then you started talking to me a little bit

more about my family dynamics and I explained to you that right about two weeks before that my uncle had been murdered and I remember that day very clearly still when the police showed up and my mother my grandmother were screaming on the floor and my other uncle who was a heroin addict.

There was a lot of drama around it without getting into detail.

And you just sort of, you gave me that look that psychiatrists give you that can be really annoying. And you ended up giving me 10 sessions of EMDR.

It was my first Valentine's Day president from you.

I will never forget that.

And I'm like, he thinks I'm really messed up.

See, I thought you were really awesome, but everybody's got baggage.

And I thought, well, let's clean it up so that our relationship can be better.

Yeah, I actually thought the EMDR was amazing.

I went in completely reluctant thinking great.
