My name is Yvonne Judge, and I am a doctoral student at National University. I am conducting a research study to explore the effects of individual Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy on family relationships.
I am recruiting individuals who meet all of these criteria:
1. You are a US resident at least 18 years of age
2. You received at least 8 sessions of individual EMDR therapy within the past 3 years.
3. You did not receive any relational therapy, including couple or family therapy, while receiving EMDR therapy.
4. You have received a mental health diagnosis from a licensed clinician.
If you decide to participate in this study, you will be asked to do the following activities:
1. Complete a 20-minute online survey.
2. Participate in a 30-60 minute 1:1 online interview via Phone.com.
3. Participate in a verification of your interview transcript via SimplePractice.
During these activities, you will be asked questions about:
• Your age and if you are a current US resident.
• If you have had EMDR therapy, details about the duration and timing of the therapy and if you had any other therapy at the same time that might affect relationships.
• Information around your EMDR treatment.
• Information about your family relationships both before and after EMDR therapy
• Perceived causes of any changes in these relationships.
