EMDR Therapy & Childhood Trauma
This website for a general audience explains how EMDR therapy can help you heal from childhood trauma, including abuse and neglect.
Website Description
“Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an eight-phase psychotherapy approach that helps people recover from childhood trauma without having to talk at length about the traumatic experience(s). It is an effective therapy backed by much research. An EMDR therapist will help you tell important aspects of your story and will be mindful of how your culture and personal context impact you. They will build a working relationship with you and help you develop tools for coping with your current feelings. The therapist will help you find your internal (strengths and past positive experiences) and external resources (family, friends, and other community support groups), and identify experiences causing distress (traumas) as well as their relationship with current symptoms.”
