How Play Therapy Integrated With EMDR Therapy Helps Traumatized Children

Play therapy does not exist in a vacuum; it can be used with other modalities with the aim of enhancing the whole healing experience. In this episode, Althea Simpson sits down with Jackie Flynn, EdS, LMHC-S, RPT to talk about using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) as a safe and effective treatment modality for treating children with trauma experiences. EMDR is a promising psychotherapy technique that targets neural connections associated with trauma and redirects them to new, positive experiences and emotions. Althea and Jackie discuss how EMDR can be integrated into play therapy treatment to help individuals work through traumatic experiences and enhance emotional resources. They also touch on how EMDR and play therapy can be used with adults, as well as the requirements for being trained and certified as an EMDR practitioner.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join the Chronicles of A Play Therapist Community today:unicornlifetraining.netTwitterFacebook [email protected]
