Would be nice to connect with fellow EMDR therapists on Lemmy. I was trained in 2021 and am close to being certified. Love talking about EMDR and parts work!
I can also invite you to a free online learning community where a bunch of us connect for advice, networking, talks, and book clubs.
I'm so excited for you to start EMDR! I really hope it helps, it's such a great modality, and I've seen it do amazing things. Thank you for appreciating what we do - it is difficult work, but it's very rewarding. And yes, I have to take great care not to get overwhelmed and get secondary PTSD or burnout. But again, it's all worth it in the end when I see someone free of emotional pain. Best of luck to you in your journey!
