EMDR in the perinatal period

EMDR is a powerful tool throughout the lifespan and can be particularly useful during a person's reproductive years. The act of becoming, maintaining, and completing a pregnancy can be fraught with challenges and trauma, oftentimes allowing past trauma to re-emerge during this time of psychological vulnerability. Yet, EMDR practitioners are taught, explicitly, to deny this type of care to those that are pregnant. This workshop will speak to the vastness of potential reproductive traumas as well as the importance and evidenced based rationale why EMDR should NOT be withheld during this critical period.
