Jenny’s current vision is to lead EMDR Academy Australia to build the next generation of EMDR Therapists. Follow us to learn more.

The butterfly hug is a simple yet effective technique to help us stay grounded amidst overwhelming emotions. This can be used as part of the 4 Elements of Stress Reduction. See the short clip attached for a brief demonstration of how this technique could be integrated into your own regulation practice.

In the final episode in our podcast series ‘Healing vs. Justice’, Dr Katie Bird shares her journey from victim-survivor to advocate. She reflects on how EMDR therapy supported her healing from abuse and enabled her to pursue justice – but was then used against her, when the criminal case against her abuser was dropped because she’d received EMDR therapy.

In this insightful discussion, Katie challenges the misunderstandings about EMDR that influenced her case and discusses what these legal barriers mean for victim- survivors and therapists.

Some of you may have seen the news. On Wednesday night, our office was damaged in a fire, but thankfully everyone is safe.

We’re heartbroken to lose a space that has been part of so many conversations, ideas and connections, but we’re incredibly grateful for the support we’ve already received from our local cafes and neighbouring businesses. We extend our hearts to our friends from the neighbourhood who have also been impacted by this tragic event

Our latest Podcast is an insightful chat with Harriet Murphy, a lawyer, who walks us through how decisions are made in the Australian criminal legal system. This episode is the first in our series exploring the question, ‘Do our clients have to choose between healing and justice’?

It’s is in response to a much publicised case where the CDPP discontinued a prosecution of sexual assault because the complainant had EMDR before making her report to police.

Thank you Harriet, this chat was an insightful overview for EMDR therapists who are not experts in the law! We hope that you also find this episode helpful.
