Why EMDR?

There is no homework required
Clients do not have to relive or disclose any details of the events, they only need a word or phrase to describe it in their own terms
If they cannot speak of the event, they only need to focus on the event for 30 seconds at time, usually manageable for client
Client is in total control of the process, client choses a stop signal if needed at any time and taught relaxation techniques prior to starting
Client-centered – meaning treatment is collaboratively developed
Treatment is brief
Treatment can be provided anywhere - in the field where no office needed, just a place to meet. I have treated persons in parks, and trained to provide treatment in community situations following disasters
EMDR Early Intervention (EEI) provides treatment to persons immediately following disaster
