  • You Can't Love Someone Out of Shutdown: the Partner's Guide to Love & Self-Regulation

    You Can't Love Someone Out of Shutdown: the Partner's Guide to Love & Self-Regulation
    Mar 31 2026

    When your partner is in shutdown, you're not just watching it happen—you're in it too. This episode is for the partners who feel like they're losing their person, who don't understand what's happening, and who wonder if they're making it worse. In this episode, I break down:

    • What shutdown actually looks like (and why it's not a choice)
    • What you CAN'T control (and why that matters)
    • 4 concrete ways to influence the situation without trying to fix them
    • The myth of co-regulation and what it actually means
    • How to regulate yourself so you can show up differently
    • Why healthy boundaries aren't selfish—they're essential
    • What your real job is as a partner in shutdown

    The invisible pain on both sides is real. You're not failing. You're not weak. And you're not alone.

  • Does EMDR Actually Work? (What the Research Says)

    Does EMDR Actually Work? (What the Research Says)
    Mar 24 2026
    EMDR is everywhere — but do you know what's actually helpful? Or if it is at all? EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has become one of the most talked-about trauma treatments around. But most people — and, honestly, many therapists — reduce it to one image: a finger waving in someone's face. That shorthand is costing people clarity about what's actually working. In this episode, Justin Sunseri breaks down what EMDR really is beyond the eye movements, what the research actually says about its effectiveness, and — more importantly — what the science says is doing the heavy lifting when it works. In this episode: The 8-phase structure of EMDR (and where bilateral stimulation actually shows up) What happens when you compare EMDR to other trauma therapies 4 common factors that explain most of therapy's results — across every modality What dismantling studies reveal about eye movements specifically The "Toe Curling" thought experiment that puts it all in perspective Why the research has real weaknesses — and what that means for you What to actually look for in a therapist or healing approach🤩 Ready to go deeper?

  • No, the Polyvagal Theory is NOT Dead: Here's What Critics (and Influencers) Aren't Understanding.

    No, the Polyvagal Theory is NOT Dead: Here's What Critics (and Influencers) Aren't Understanding.
    Mar 16 2026

    A paper co-authored by 39 scientists called the Polyvagal Theory "untenable" — and now psychology influencers are announcing the Theory is "dead." But is it?

    I'm Justin Sunseri, therapist and member of the Polyvagal Institute's Editorial Board. That means I review work for Polyvagal Theory accuracy. So let me actually look at the claims.

    In this episode, I break down Paul Grossman's paper "Why the Polyvagal Theory Is Untenable." We need to objectively check whether his criticisms accurately represent what the theory actually says. Because if they don't, the counterarguments are moot.

    Links mentioned:

    2. Porges' "The Vagal Paradox": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38108034/
    3. Grossman's ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/post/After_30_years_of_polyvagal_hypotheses_is_there_any_direct_evidence_for_the_first_3_premises_that_form_the_foundation_of_the_polyvagal_conjectures
    4. Porges' response(s) to Grossman: https://www.clinicalneuropsychiatry.org/download/when-a-critique-becomes-untenable-a-scholarly-response-to-grossman-et-al-s-evaluation-of-polyvagal-theory/
