Providing EMDR to transgender gender diverse (TGD) clients

Danielle Godfrey, a transgender woman, trauma therapist, certified in EMDR and an EMDRIA Consultant In Training will provide participants with an introduction to the wide diversity of Transgender and Gender Diverse (TGD) seeking EMDR treatment. Historical treatment approaches for TGD clients often employed practices that were non affirming sand often traumatizing to TGD people. Recent research has led to an increase in affirming treatment approaches which promote positive mental health and provide effective treatment for TGD people. Danielle will draw upon current research, personal lived and clinical experience to discuss and apply concepts presented in the implementation of affirming EMDR treatment of Transgender and Gender Diverse (TGD) by TGD and TGD allied clinicians. Danielle utilizes lecture, videos, discussion, and experiential exercises in this presentation.
