Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown has had a rough go of it. For starters, she ended her season of the hit reality franchise getting engaged to a man who already had a girlfriend back home and admitted to only going on the show to promote his music career. To put it in Bachelor-speak, "He wasn't there for the right reasons."
Then, in her 2021 memoir God Bless This Mess: Learning to Live and Love Through Life's Best (and Worst) Moments, Brown revealed that her aunt and two young cousins were brutally murdered when she was just 6 years old. "[Writing about the tragedy] was really hard because I hadn't really ever processed it," she told Us Weeklyat the time.
Now, she has revealed an unusual therapy that's been helping her make sense of it all.

In the June 25 episode of The Squeezepodcast—hosted by Twilight star Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay Lautner (seriously)—Brown revealed she's recently begun receiving eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, known as EMDR for short. "I've only done two sessions," she explained. "The therapist I work with does really long sessions, so a session for me could be, like, five hours. It's, like, five weeks of therapy because she works really intensely."
EMDR therapy involves using eye movements to recalibrate how your brain processes and responds to traumatic memories, per the Cleveland Clinic. “I had to list out all the worst things that have happened to me that I can remember," Brown explained. "Then, there’s themes and it’s, like, ‘OK, we’re going to target this one.’" Of course, one of those things was her family members' terrible murder.
"[That one] was harder," she admitted. "I was the same age as my cousin and so was my brother...That whole experience of coming to terms with that was pretty traumatic for me." Ultimately, Brown said the therapy was effective in helping her process it. “We targeted that memory, but then other things will come up and it was, like, I fully got this almost snap into place of, ‘I have taken this message from this bad moment of my life and attached meaning to it and, because of that, I show up in these ways or these things trigger me.’”
