    Motivational Interviewing 30: Larisa Traga

    "Clinicians…would learn EMDR, but they didn't know how to necessarily do it…there was a need for the how. So the EMDR is the what you do, and the MI is the how you do it." Expert Trainer Larisa Traga joins host Ali Hall to explore Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and how it blends with other evidence-based practices like Motivational Interviewing (MI). This episode concludes our podcast's latest season. We will be taking a short summer hiatus and will return in the fall with new episodes. Thank you for listening!
