Integrating EMDR and The Safe and Sound Protocol

Now available: The Art and Science of EMDR book: amzn.to/3SQa4eV
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective form of treatment for trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, and more. While EMDR can be helpful in many cases, some clients who struggle with affect regulation may not benefit from the desensitization and reprocessing phases. Without effective ways to regulate their nervous systems, these clients can deteriorate during reprocessing. The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a tool that was created by Unyte-ILS, and is based on the Polyvagal Theory, can help those clients who struggle with emotion regulation. In this video, Jill Hosey an approved EMDR Consultant, and an EMDR trainer, and Leah Dawang, a somatic coach, will explain the benefits of integrating the Safe and Sound Protocol with EMDR Therapy.
