Podcast Title: Utilizing AI and EMDR to offer self-administered EMDR for soldiers and refugees with an audio guide in 10 languages. I have created an app called Imover which is an audio guide for self-administered EMDR. The idea arose after I spent the winter of 2025 in Kyiv training 50 Ukraine army psychologists in EMDR and therapy for soldier and civilian PTSD. I also did training there for addiction treatment. I realised that war trauma is, of course, real and needs powerful tools. And there are more than 100 million refugees who are traumatised by war. However, many of these men and women also have deep past trauma that taints or pollutes their current problems with toxic self-destructive tendencies. The roots of this lie in physical, verbal and sexual abuse in youth. We need solutions. There are millions of veterans with PTSD and more than 100 million refugees suffering from dislocation from war. My app is individual audio scripts written by me for recovery from past trauma in specific life crises using EMDR: 1. soldier PTSD 2. refugee PTSD 3. Sexual assault survivors 4. Incest survivors 5. Worker burnout 6. Career transition 7. Addiction and relapse 8. Leaving the Narcissist 9. Life after the narcissist 10. EMDR for sex workers I have written an AUDIOBOOK on EMDR called A Path to Peace of Mind and Sobriety: How EMDR safely Unlocks Trapped Memories and Brings Serenity. I'm a certified drug and alcoholic counsellor (and also EMDR counsellor) for 21 years. You can find my EMDR audio book & three other books on mental health at www.SoberAtSeaside.org. I My EMDR practice offers EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement De-sensinsitization & Reprocessing) for trauma, PTSD, addiction-related tragedy in order to “untrap" anxious and overwhelming memories in ways that talk therapy cannot. It also offers an in house 4 day intensive experience to deal with PTSD, trauma, burnout and accompanying addictive behaviors. I have worked with hundreds of clients over the past seven years. These addictive behaviors are mere diversions to avoid a reality that we found unacceptable.Getting to the root of chaotic, scary and jumbled memories is the key to starting a new life of balance, serenity and happiness. EMDR is a new revolutionary way to do this — and it can be done over Zoom too. It will overtake talk therapy , I predict. I have also written books on William James as well as LGBT addiction treatment. In addition, I have taught for 18 years IN MBA programs in credit, capital markets, financial technology and banking at: Tufts, HK UST, HKU, LMU Hilton School in LA, SUSS in Singapore, LBS, as well as Fudan and Zhejiang Universities in China. I have also worked for the Number 1 investment bank from Switzerland, US, UK, Japan, PRC & Holland starting in 1991. I have been a source for the WSJ, NYT, Bloomberg, Nikkei, FT, Economist, Barron's & Forbes. I'm 22 years sober. The above may sound impressive, but it was a bear. I've gone through burno
What Matters
Addiction matters because the creator is a certified counselor for 21 years, is 22 years sober, and sees addictive behaviors as 'mere diversions to avoid a reality that we found unacceptable.'
Refugees matter because the creator recognizes 'more than 100 million refugees are traumatised by war' and developed EMDR scripts specifically for their dislocation and past trauma recovery.
Paul believes Books matter deeply. He reads lots of hardbacks because it "slows down my mind" and "gets me out of social media," adding emphatically: "We need to read more books."
Paul says Sport matters as physical exercise is "one of the best ways to get rid of anxiety," especially amid what he calls "an epidemic of anxiety with Gen Z and younger millennials."
Paul says Politics matters because "we are political creatures" and warns that "if you don't stand for something, you'll stand for anything."
Paul thinks NASA matters, loving the "really beautiful photographs" and marvelling that "we are up to two trillion galaxies." He adds he'd redirect more funding toward mental health.
Paul loves Dogs — he owns a dachshund he calls "the most fascinating" and "most intelligent" around, enthusiastically recommending: "if you're single and you need a pal, get a wiener dog."
