On Being a Therapist in a Divided World

Individual clinicians throughout the world are also grappling with how to “be” in such a conflicted, unsettled time. This magazine issue is intended to help us think and talk about how we respond. We have a role as healers. We have a life as humans, who are swimming (or drowning, perhaps at times) in the same conflicted sea as those for whom we care. And regardless of our national citizenship, perhaps we have an ethical/moral responsibility to speak regarding our values, knowledge, and experiences.

EMDR professionals are not immune to the pressures and tensions that our society is currently experiencing. Helping one another is more important than ever, with clarity of role, resilience, and support.
