About this episode

How does EMDR therapy help children and teens make sense of the internal fragmentation of dissociation?  An active and flexible approach to EMDR makes therapists bolder in leading young people to trauma work, even in cases with significant and complex early trauma. Children and teens have unique developmental challenges. How does an EMDR therapist structure the participation and support of attachment figures? EMDR certified therapist, consultant trainer, and play therapist Ann Beckley-Forest, LCSW, RPT-S, shares what she knows.
