What's EMDR Therapy?
If you’ve spoken to me in the last year about my anxiety disorder, my panic disorder, and/or my IBS -- then I have talked your entire face off about EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy).
Very basically, EMDR therapy utilizes small handheld vibrators and/or back-and-forth eye movement to get the brain working bilaterally in order to reprocess traumatic events and/or symptoms resulting from (known or unknown) traumatic events. (Read more about it here! ).
It’s a well-researched, sort of mysterious, and very effective therapy for processing trauma. My personal victories thanks to EMDR therapy have radically changed my personal life and the lives of many other folks I’ve spoken to who have done it.
I Want to Offer EMDR to My Clients!
It’s been about a year since I graduated from my Master’s program in Marriage & Family Therapy and I’m feeling ready to take my next educational step which is to complete a Fall training to become a certified EMDR therapist.
However, EMDR training is *expensive*! It’s expensive in tuition and it’s expensive in the lost client hours in attending the 52 hours of training required.
As a therapist and sex educator, I make a modest living with a ton of outgoing, behind-the-scenes expenses that go towards what it takes to be a full-time, independent contractor (not to mention the student loan burden many of us know too well!).
I offer sliding scale fees for my therapeutic clients who are majority LGBTQ+ folks and/or childhood sexual abuse & sexual assault survivors. As an EMDR therapist, I will continue these practices to make EMDR as accessible to my clients as possible.
Why EMDR Matters in Sexuality Work!
Being able to offer the effectiveness of EMDR therapy (in addition to and sometimes rather than regular talk therapy) would be a hugely beneficial tool to have in my kit as a therapist who works with healing sexual assault & abuse traumas so often.
Personally and professionally, it would be amazingly meaningful to be able to offer a therapeutic service to my clients that has helped me so drastically in managing my own mental health.
Can You Help?
I know, who even crowdsources finances anymore? So gauche. If you can help me fund the training, that’s amazing and I appreciate you in playing a part in healing those who hurt. If not, that’s okay, too! We’re definitely still friends.
