I’ve been doing a lot of reading and the abbreviation EMDR is coming up in many documents and websites. I don’t know what that is so I wanted to do a quick episode to learn more about it and find out how it can be helpful as a treatment option.
This is a quick episode on the definition of the treatment and
some resources you can check out and follow up on.
If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or
text “START” to 741-741.
Resources Mentioned:
The American Psychological Association has a page about EMDR, what it is, who is it for
and the treatment process.
The Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International
Association has a resource page for therapists and people
interested in the process.

with Jessica Callahan, LPT-C about EMDR This link is to the Apple
podcast version of the podcast.
If you are interested in finding an EMDR trained therapist, there is a search
feature at the creator of the treatment’s website, Francine
Shapiro, Ph.D. There is also an information page for therapists and laypeople that
describes and outlines the treatment.
