Psychedelic-Assisted EMDR Therapy is a groundbreaking exploration of how eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can be harnessed to enhance the beneficial effects of psychedelic medications. EMDR is a clinically validated therapy that utilises bilateral stimulation of the brain to access and reconsolidate pathologically encoded memories. The protocolised methods outlined herein offer a practical roadmap for unlocking the full potential of EMDR within the context of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies, paving the way for scalable psychedelic treatment options.
Drawing upon a rich tapestry of research, case material and clinical insight, this book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how EMDRs adaptive information processing (AIP) model conceptualises healing outcomes in psychedelic settings. Emphasising harm reduction, social justice and sustainability, this book systematically outlines a strong focus for the work, to ensure safer, more inclusive, equitable, environmentally conscious practices in psychedelic therapy delivery.
Authored by experts in the field, this is a compelling resource that expands the horizon of contemporary psychedelic psychotherapy, offering a novel perspective and a confident new voice in trauma-responsive healing.
