Effective EMDR treatment for complex trauma requires a lot more than following a protocol. In this video, EMDR expert, Dr. Debbie Korn, explains the decisions that therapists have to make while treating clients with complex trauma. Dr. Korn is joined by her co-author, Michael Baldwin. Together, they wrote the book Every Memory Deserves Respect, a book about EMDR that demonstrates the effectiveness of EMDR from both client’s perspective and an expert’s perspective.
