EMDR International Association 15th Annual Conference
“Healing the Many Faces of Trauma”
August 25-28, 2011 Hyatt Regency, Orange County, CA
Sara G. Gilman, MS, MFT & Jim Marshall, MA, LLP
“EMDR & The First Responders: Bringing Hope & Healing to Those Suffering in Silence with Hidden Symptoms.”
First responders (Police officers, Firefighters, EMT, Paramedics, Dispatchers, Rescue Teams) live with cumulative stress while intervening in traumatic human experiences. While most of us believe they are psychologically ‘tough’ and resilient, enabling them to tolerate repeated exposure, many suffer in silence. This presentation will expose the hidden stress-filled world of First Responders, the ongoing stigmas which block appropriate interventions, how psycho-education and EMDR treatment can result in healthier, more productive first response teams. EMDR case examples will enlighten and inspire those who attend.
