On today's episode, Alexa and Sydney speak with Registered Clinical Counsellor, Hailey Kanigan! Hailey holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Psychology from UBC Okanagan, and proceeded to gain a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Hailey is currently working in Kelowna in her private practice with adults who are challenged with anxiety, trauma, and relationship strain. Hailey’s primary counselling modalities that she uses in her practice include EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. She is passionate about helping those in times of struggle, being outside in nature, and connecting with friends and family over a good meal!
Hailey joins us today to speak about EMDR as a tribute to her late friend Spencer, who had an uncanny ability to see the positives in people. Throughout this episode, Hailey explains everything from the history and theories related to EMDR's success, what a typical EMDR session may look like, as well as other techniques and treatments that she may use to help people process and heal from hurtful experiences. Sydney also shares her perspective on how EMDR has helped her desensitize and reprocess the trauma she's experienced. The purpose of today's episode is to increase awareness and understanding of EMDR, and illuminate its magic in healing and reprogramming. Hailey's passion, knowledge, and ability to break down this therapy into simplicity is truly impressive! Hailey is currently accepting new clients through virtual counselling sessions!
