In this deeply vulnerable episode of Heal With Kat, Kat invites trauma specialist and EMDR therapist Jenny Gennaro into an honest, soul-level conversation about the healing power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma integration, and the reclamation of the body after years of spiritual and emotional disconnection.Kat shares her personal journey of returning to her body after years of living in survival mode, exploring how childhood emotional neglect, abandonment wounds, and sexual trauma shaped her intuitive abilities and coping mechanisms. Together, she and Jenny unpack how trauma fragments the nervous system — and how healing can bring us home to our true, embodied selves.Themes:What EMDR actually is — and how it helps rewire the brain to release the emotional charge of traumatic memoriesHow childhood emotional neglect and attachment wounds can create disconnection from the body and fuel hypervigilance mistaken for intuitionWhy many intuitives and empaths develop their “gifts” as tools of survival, and how to evolve them into tools of serviceThe connection between trauma, autoimmune conditions, and chronic body symptomsKat’s personal EMDR journey — including what resurfaced, how she processed it, and the profound identity shift that followedHow psilocybin (mushrooms) can be used intentionally and safely within a therapeutic EMDR container to lower defenses and deepen emotional accessThe difference between complex trauma and single-event trauma, and why integration can feel like an identity crisisWhat it means to re-stitch your head back to your body and reclaim the right to feel safe, grounded, and presentHow reclaiming your nervous system is a radical act of social justice and spiritual resistanceConnect with Kat:🤍  /<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kat_daou/">https://www.instagram.com/kat_daou/</a>🤍  /<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@healwithkatpod">https://www.tiktok.com/@healwithkatpod</a>🤍  /<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCix2tpYqYdRcMNNAqKfYJew">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCix2tpYqYdRcMNNAqKfYJew</a>🤍  /<a href="https://www.katdaou.com">https://www.katdaou.com</a> Connect with Jenny: 🩶 / <a href="https://www.gennarocounseling.com/">https://www.gennarocounseling.com/</a>🩶 / https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-gennaro-prokopchik-msw-lcsw-acs-emdr-c-b0b31872/ Links: Insight Timer:<a href="https://insighttimer.com/katdaou">https://insighttimer.com/katdaou</a>Cycle Breaker Quiz Link:<a href="https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/665bc191d9650a00154a4a22">https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/665bc191d9650a00154a4a22</a>Age Mapping Mini Course Link:<a href="https://www.katdaou.com/agemap">https://www.katdaou.com/agemap</a> Guest Bio:I’m Jenny I work with people who are done skimming the surface. You’ve done the therapy. You’ve read the books. You’re self-aware, insightful, maybe even the one everyone else turns to—but something’s still stuck. You’re tired of circling the same patterns, managing symptoms, or just getting by. You want real movement. Depth. Relief. And you’re ready to do the work.  That’s where I come in.  I’m a certified EMDR therapist and trauma specialist with a style that’s relational, grounded, and honest. I won’t push you faster than you’re ready—but I also won’t tiptoe around what needs to be named. I bring a deep understanding of the nervous system, attachment, and somatic work to help people heal from the things that talk therapy alone couldn’t reach.  I offer EMDR intensives for those who want to dive in and create lasting change without dragging things out for months or years. These are focused, immersive sessions designed for people who are ready to go deep and need therapy that fits their life—not the other way around.  If you’re someone who holds space for others—whether in healthcare, education, leadership, the arts, or the healing professions—this is your space to let go, reconnect, and shift from surviving to fully living.  Healing doesn’t have to take forever. But it does take intention.  Let’s begin.
