Episode 18-EMDR & Trauma w/ Dan Main, LMFT

In this episode I sit down with Dan Main, LMFT to discuss EMDR and Trauma.

Dan Main, LMFT became licensed in 2015 and EMDR Trained in 2016. In addition to running a part time private practice in Walnut Creek (now via Telehealth in CA), he is a Program Supervisor at Community Options for Families and Youth in the Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) department. He is currently pursuing his certification in EMDR and participates in ongoing consultation with an EMDRIA Certified Trainer. In his private practice he provides individual psychotherapy for ages 14 and up who are looking for help with symptoms of trauma, depression, and anxiety.

I should clarify that the book I talked about, "High on Arrival" is not as much a book that explains EMDR, but a narrative of one individual's journey and how her childhood trauma has affected her. I think it would be helpful for those who want more understanding of that form of trauma.

Here is a video by EMDRIA that could be useful for those just learning about EMDR for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkfln-ZtWeY&feature=youtu.be

Nadine Burk Harris (First ever Surgeon General of CA)  has a great Ted Talk on Childhood trauma that might be cool to in notes:
