Healing Trauma Beyond Talk Therapy with Janet Bayramyan
Many mental health professionals are taught that talking through trauma is the path to healing, yet in practice, it often leaves clients feeling stuck, dysregulated, or retraumatized. If you have ever felt limited by talk therapy alone or unsure how to safely support clients with trauma histories, this episode is for you.
Kym sits down with Janet Bayramyan, licensed clinical social worker and trauma specialist, to explore what it really takes to help clients heal beyond words. Janet shares how modalities like EMDR, brainspotting, IFS, and Havening work with the nervous system, how to recognize when talk therapy is not enough, and how clinicians can begin integrating trauma-informed tools without overwhelming themselves or their clients.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why talk therapy alone often falls short in trauma treatment.
- How trauma lives in the nervous system, not just the mind.
- Early signs that a client is becoming dysregulated or retraumatized.
- Key differences between EMDR and brainspotting in clinical practice.
- How Havening techniques support nervous system regulation.
- Using IFS alongside trauma modalities to deepen healing.
- Advice for clinicians choosing their first trauma training.
