This week, I’m diving into my all-time favorite EMDR books — the ones that seriously leveled up my skills as a clinician. Trust me, these gems are must-reads for anyone passionate about mastering EMDR.First up, I’m unpacking the incredible work of Dr. Jamie Marich, whose book EMDR Made Simple breaks down the therapy with clarity and compassion — plus, her focus on an intersectional, anti-racist approach to EMDR is truly eye-opening and essential in today’s world.Then, I’ll share how Dr. Laurel Parnell’s Attachment-Focused EMDR shifted my perspective, inspiring me to bring a more flexible, relational vibe to my sessions. Her adaptations to the standard protocol really changed the game for me.And last but definitely not least, I’ll dig into Dr. Sandra Paulsen’s Looking Through the Eyes of Trauma and Dissociation — a powerhouse resource that taught me how to work confidently with clients facing complex trauma and dissociation.
