In this powerful episode of Hydrated Mind & Soul, host Dr. Amanda Hackford welcomes Connie Allgood, trauma therapist and founder of Allgood Counseling Center in Sebastian, FL. Together, they explore the life-changing impact of EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — a proven, God-given approach to releasing past trauma and reclaiming peace.

Discover how unresolved childhood wounds shape who we believe we are, why healing requires revisiting the pain, and how EMDR helps you see your story through new eyes. Connie shares her faith-driven perspective, personal insights, and real-world results showing that healing is possible — mind, body, and soul.

If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, trauma, or the feeling that something is holding you back from your purpose, this episode will speak directly to your heart. 💖

⏱️ Episode Highlights:

• How trauma hides in the body and subconscious mind
• Why healing hurts before it helps
• Seeing yourself through God’s truth, not past pain
• Real stories of hope, faith, and restoration
