Inspiring account of transformation after finding EMDR when nothing else worked

05 August, 2025

The latest edition of the EMDR Extraordinary Stories podcast is now available. In it, Victoria Walford gives an inspiring account of her transformation and post traumatic growth after receiving EMDR therapy for severe PTSD.

The episode takes us to the bustling streets of London, where a sunny morning bike ride changed everything. What began as a routine training session for a London-to-Paris charity fundraiser turned into a life-altering event when Victoria was struck by a car.

In the aftermath, she faced a cascade of challenges – PTSD, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain – and a frustrating succession of treatments that didn’t work. Then she found Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

Join Victoria as she discusses her transformational, powerful journey: from trauma to the unexpected turning point in her healing and then becoming an EMDR therapist herself. This is a story of grit, growth and the surprising discoveries that can be made in EMDR therapy.
