SUMMARY:Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Made Easy\, with Jenn Shields
DESCRIPTION:In the past five years\, interest in and referrals for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy have grown rapidly\, reflecting a wider cultural shift toward trauma-informed and body-based approaches to healing. EMDR helps people move past trauma\, whether it stems from childhood abuse or neglect\, a toxic relationship or job\, or less easily identified sources such as unmet emotional needs or loneliness. This growing awareness has been fueled in part by public figures including Prince Harry\, Miley Cyrus\, and Sandra Bullock\, who have spoken openly about their experiences with EMDR. \nAs a culture\, we are increasingly recognizing the impact of living primarily in our heads rather than in our bodies\, and are seeking therapeutic approaches that integrate both. This 1.5-hour lecture will offer a clear and accessible overview of what EMDR is and how it works. It is designed for community members who are curious about EMDR\, therapy clients who want to make informed decisions about their treatment\, and therapists who would like a refresher and new ways to explain EMDR to their clients. The lecture will include opportunities to experience simple methods of bilateral stimulation so participants can gain a sense of how EMDR works in practice for a host of emotional challenges. \nRegister for EMDR Made Easy\, with Jenn Shields\nPresented by the FIFSW Alumni Association. All are welcome.\n6:30 to 8:00pm\nThis online event will be presented via zoom. \nAbout Jenn Shields\nJenn Shields is an EMDR Consultant and Certified EMDR Therapist through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA)\, and serves on the coaching team at EMDR Consulting\, where she coaches EMDR therapists in training.
