[humanser] Providing EMDR as a therapeutic modality

[Lisa Irving]

Beth,

I'm wondering if you have considered contacting a woman who developed this technique. I believe her last name is Schapiro. Here is food for thought for down the road when you were working with clients using this modality. When thinking about using I tracking tapping or buzzers consider the type of trauma the client has experienced. At the point in my life when I received the MDR therapy I could not handle being touched. Tapping did not work. For obvious reasons tracking the therapists finger did not work either therefore holding the buzzers and being able to control them work best for me.

Go for it! Live the life you choose!

From,
Lisa

It appears to be low cost because it is the same curriculum shoved into two weekends as opposed to three.  While I movement is most effective, using buzzers or tappers does also help. Along with that, there are a number of skills that do not involve eye-movement that I will be able to gain and utilize. The first weekend is in April. I will let you know how it goes if anyone is interested in my experience.
