Session 25: What in the World is EMDR?

<p>The Therapy for Black GirlsTM Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.</p> <p>In this week's episode I chatted with Kelli Davis, Licensed Professional Counselor in Memphis, TN about EMDR, which is a treatment method designed to help people work through trauma. Kelli and I discussed what EMDR is, how she uses it with her clients, what concerns it is useful for, and how it differs from traditional talk therapy.</p> <p><strong>Where to Find Kelli</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.mercimemphis.org" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">mercimemphis.org</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrlEqwj_nOKjHUnPKqkmcMA" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Kelli's YouTube Channel</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Resources Mentioned</p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma-ebook/dp/B00G3L1C2K/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1505895633&sr=1-1&keywords=the+body+keeps+the+score" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Body Keeps the Score</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009BVWRLO/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an Unspoken Voice</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.emdria.org" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">EMDR International Association</a></p> <p> </p> <p>If you're looking for a therapist in your area, make sure to check out the new & improved directory at <a href= "http://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/directory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">therapyforblackgirls.com/directory</a></p> <p>If you are a therapist and would like to list your practice information in the directory, visit <a href= "http://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/beinglisted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">therapyforblackgirls.com/beinglisted</a></p> <p>To join the Therapy for Black Girls Thrive Tribe <a href= "http://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/tribe" target="_blank
