What is EMDR‪?‬ Anxiety Road Podcast

    • Mental Health

I’ve been doing a lot of reading and the abbreviation EMDR is coming up in many documents and websites. I don’t know what that is so I wanted to do a quick episode to learn more about it and find out how it can be helpful as a treatment option.
This is a quick episode on the definition of the treatment and some resources you can check out and follow up on.

If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741.


Resources Mentioned: 
The American Psychological Association has a page about EMDR, what it is, who is it for and the treatment process.
The Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Association has a resource page for therapists and people interested in the process.

Every Day Therapy Podcast episode #60 has an interview with Jessica Callahan, LPT-C about EMDR This link is to the Apple podcast version of the podcast.

If you are interested in finding an EMDR trained therapist, there is a search feature at the creator of the treatment’s website, Francine Shapiro, Ph.D. There is also an information page for therapists and laypeople that describes and outlines the treatment.
