[humanser] Providing EMDR as a therapeutic modality

[Lisa Irving]

Michael, 

I am writing from the standpoint of the client. I recognize there is mixed
information about the effectiveness of EMDR. I was a skeptic, that is, until
I suffered from debilitating PTSD. I credit my recovery and learning to
integrate the residuals from trauma as a direct result of three alternative
forms of treatment: My faith community, martial arts and most definitely,
EMDR.

Hello Beth,
	I have looked into this myself and am determining the efficacy of
the treatment and the opportunity I will have to administer it. The only
caution I would have is the term "low cost" and how well the training is
rated. Good Luck!

Regards,

Hi,

I have the opportunity  to take a low-cost EMDR training to thenbecome
certified to provide this therapeutic modality to clients. Are there any
blind therapists out there who are currently providing this?  I have heard
that it is important to be able to see a client's face to know how to
moderate the process of EMDR which itself is nonverbal.  I know I can ask
clients what is coming up for them and to describe images, but I also don't
want to take away from the process. I know tappers or buzzers can be used,
but I still have the same visual concerns. I'm interested in experiences of
others providing this modality.

Thank you,

Beth
