Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

In this podcast interview, I share information to help you conceptually understand EMDR, trauma, and common responses such as dissociation as it relates to addiction and recovery. There are different types of EMDR that clinicians can receive training. My training is in S.A.F.E. EMDR. This stands for Somatic Attachment Focused EMDR. Here, the goal is to keep the person attached to the safety of the body when processing through trauma, also noting that at times the body hasn’t felt safe.
