Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Healing versus Justice? Part 2
Q: How did Katie Bird's case influence EMDR's visibility in legal discussions?
Katie Bird's case brought real-world scrutiny to EMDR in the context of legal proceedings, prompting researchers, lawyers, and therapists to reexamine admissibility, safeguards, and the potential for advocacy to shape policy and practice.
Scaling EMDR for humanitarian settings: Rolf Carriere's Vision for Global Mental Health
Q: What does task shifting look like in practice for EMDR in resource-poor settings?
It involves creating a curriculum for non-psychologists, emphasizing safe, basic processing within a defined scope, clear referral pathways for complex cases, and ongoing supervision and evaluation to ensure quality while expanding reach.
Scaling EMDR for humanitarian settings: Rolf Carriere's Vision for Global Mental Health
Q: Can you summarize how you first connected EMDR to the wider goal of humanitarian health work?
The connection emerged when I saw a parallel between simplifying brutal health interventions (like oral rehydration) and simplifying trauma care. This led me to contact Francine Shapiro to validate a model where non-psychologists could safely deliver essential trauma processing within structured, supervised frameworks.
A life's journey with EMDR - Ana Gomez reflects
Q: How has your view of EMDR evolved over time, especially regarding the eight phases and preparation?
Ana explains that the AIP model expanded from an individual to a systemic and relational framework, with core regulation and co-regulation at the center of preparation and reprocessing.
A life's journey with EMDR - Ana Gomez reflects
Q: How did EMDR first grab you, and what were your early experiences with it?
She recalls a 'click' when hearing about EMDR, followed by self-driven research and a realization that EMDR could be a powerful tool for healing from trauma, despite early technocratic perceptions.
