Description

Listen to the conversations therapists and clients should be having — but often aren’t. Zero Disturbance is a podcast about what makes therapy truly work. For therapists, we explore clinical reasoning, case conceptualization, EMDR, and intensive therapy design — so you can think more clearly and work more efficiently. For clients, we pull back the curtain on the therapy process — helping you understand what effective treatment looks like, what good collaboration feels like, and how to participate actively in your own healing. Because therapy works best when both people in the room understand the map. Inside each episode, you’ll hear: • How strong clinical thinking shapes outcomes • Why therapy sometimes stalls — and how to fix it • How intensives and brain-based therapy (EMDR, Brainspotting) can accelerate progress • What client-therapist collaboration should actually look like Download our FREE Resource Library at www.zerodisturbance.com/free-resources About Kambria Evans Kambria Evans holds a Master’s in Education from Vanderbilt University and has spent over 20 years designing high-impact learning experiences for adult professionals. As former Director of Education and Quality Improvement at Stanford Medical School, she specialized in simplifying complex systems to help trainees succeed. Today, as a therapist, EMDR Consultant, educator, and mom of twins, Kambria brings that same clarity to the therapy room — helping therapists and clients move toward resolution efficiently, effectively, and with intention. When she’s not teaching or podcasting, you’ll find her with her twins on a California beach.
