Jordan Shafer, MS, LPC, EMDR Certfied Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant shares some ideas about using EMDR with couples. It could be used in conjunction with the regular martial counseling in whatever style or mode it is being done. The EMDR processing resolves and integrates the emotional memories that are stored in the mid-brain, when that happens each member of the couple is better able to tolerate inevitable emotional discomfort.
