Article Description

“Today, Kathy Morelli shares the second part of her series on EMDR, and exams clinical opinions on the safety of EMDR as a treatment modality.

There is a lack of specific empirical research to support the safety or lack of safety about incorporating EMDR into a trauma treatment plan for a pregnant woman.

However, there are many experienced trauma clinicians who work weekly in their practices with pregnant women. I gathered clinical information about this issue from several experienced and distinguished trauma clinicians who work with women, pregnancy and trauma and use EMDR.”
