“What I love about EMDR Therapy is that the client can truly verbalize as much or as little of the details as they feel they need to within the flow of EMDR. This happens because EMDR helps to reprocess other facets of a person’s experience other than just the verbal/cognitive – we are working with the somatic experiences, energetic shifts, spiritual imprints, and other sensory components.”

The Breathe Network hosted “EMDR Therapy and the Healing of Trauma” as part of our monthly series of educational trainings designed to enhance trauma-sensitivity for healing arts practitioners, empower survivors by sharing a range of insights about healing, and increase our societal understandings of the layered impacts of sexual trauma and insights into resilience.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy is one of the most popular and most researched therapies in the treatment of PTSD and other trauma-related concerns. Yet the approach often remains shrouded in mystery and misinformation. In this teleseminar, join EMDR Master Clinician, educator, and author Dr. Jamie Marich as she gives a brief overview of how EMDR works in a practical user-friendly way. She discusses the EMDR approach’s conceptualization of trauma as a phenomenon that reaches beyond traditional interpretations of PTSD. This discussion will benefit all helping professionals working with trauma, regardless of whether or not they practice EMDR Therapy.
