Using EMDR therapy to heal your past: Interview with creator Francine Shapiro

Is there something from EMDR that could be generalized to helping people live more mentally healthy, even if they don’t have a PTSD concern? Recent research has shown that certain types of life experiences can cause more PTSD symptoms than major trauma. It has also been documented that negative childhood experiences can cause later problems.

It also incorporates procedures to address future concerns and challenges.
