Political Stressors
Video demonstrations and resources are not intended as a replacement for formal training in EMDR therapy. These resources are intended as a learning aide for those being trained in EMDR therapy and for potential trainees to better understand what to expect.

In this era of political and social turmoil, using the EMDR approach as a treatment device for healing and resilience may be a game changer.
