ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
We dive into the transformative potential of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy for children struggling with attachment trauma. Joined by EMDRIA Certified Therapist, Trainer and Consultant, Debra B. Wesselmann, MS, LIMHP, we explore how early disruptions in attachment—such as neglect, abuse, or loss—can shape a child's emotional and behavioral world, and how EMDR offers a path toward healing.
Listeners will learn:
- What attachment trauma looks like in children
- How EMDR is adapted for young clients
- Real-life case examples of EMDR in action
- Tips for parents, caregivers, and clinicians supporting children with trauma histories
Whether you're a mental health professional, educator, or caregiver, this episode offers deep insight into one of the most effective, neuroscience-backed therapies available today for helping children reprocess trauma and build secure, healthy relationships.
