EPISODE 92: MICKAYLA

Mickayla is a stand-up comedian, which makes her an excellent storyteller, and she has quite the story to tell -  one she has never told before. She decided to come to the show after realizing that the trauma of her marriage is interfering with her new single life; she is constantly triggered in her new relationships, and she feels her depression creeping back to full strength. To make it more complicated, Mickayla does not currently have access to therapy or EMDR, though she has done both in the past. Fortunately, Renée picks up where Mickayla's past work in therapy left off. The two of them do quite a lot of laughing despite the intensity of Mickayla's narrative, and even Mickayla's dog weighs in a few times. Ultimately, Renée maps out a path for Mickalya that leads her farther away from her trauma and nearer to the closeness and wholeness she craves.
