EMDR & Racial Trauma

Go With That Magazine Fall 2020

The deaths of our Black brothers and sisters that made the news this past summer have created a societal tipping point as we begin to have our collective eyes opened to the systemic oppression and silence that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Americans have faced for centuries at the hands of White Americans. Although it feels overwhelming to make a difference against this system, that is what many of you as trauma therapists signed up to do. We look to see how EMDR can mend divides to heal trauma, raise awareness, and advocate for those who need it most.
