EMDR with children and adolescents: Using stories in EMDR for trauma and attachment resolution

The storytelling procedure in EMDR therapy was introduced to the EMDR community by Dr Joan Lovett in 1999. In the foreword to her book ‘Small Wonders: Healing Childhood trauma with EMDR’ Francine Shapiro acknowledged the importance of the new strategy developed by Lovett for children, one that incorporated storytelling along with more familiar EMDR protocols and which had proved very effective with children of all ages. Draws on the work of Joan Lovett and others.
