New from the Journal of EMDR Practice and Research®:

Could the setting in which EMDR therapy is delivered influence treatment engagement and outcomes?

A new real-world evaluation compared EMDR therapy delivered in a traditional outpatient setting with EMDR delivered outdoors for military veterans with military-related PTSD.

The findings suggest both approaches were associated with meaningful improvements in PTSD symptoms, while the outdoor format showed promising differences in treatment efficiency and participant experience. The authors describe these findings as a proof of concept and call for additional research to further evaluate this emerging approach.

Believe you are worthy of love and connection. Be kind and compassionate with yourself and then others. Have the courage to show up imperfectly and let go of “who you should be. Then find connection as the result of authenticity.
