Why This Book?

EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness for Trauma-Focused Care brings together three leading voices in trauma healing to offer a deeply integrated, compassionate model of treatment. Rooted in the principles of EMDR and enriched by mindfulness practice, this book explores how trauma therapy can be both effective and attuned — addressing the mind, body, and spirit with care. For survivors and clinicians alike, it offers a holistic view of healing: one that honors not only what happened, but what is possible.

Who It’s For

• Therapists looking to blend EMDR with mindfulness-based trauma care
• Survivors curious about trauma-informed, body-inclusive treatment options
• Readers seeking an ethical, deeply human approach to healing complex trauma

Big Takeaways

• Mindfulness grounds EMDR work in presence, safety, and consent — essential for trauma healing.
• Healing must move at the pace of the survivor’s nervous system — not the therapist’s agenda.
• Sustainable recovery happens when clinical effectiveness is paired with attunement, compassion, and trust.

How It Can Help

This book offers survivors a clear and affirming vision of what healing can look like — when it's done with care, patience, and respect for their autonomy. While written primarily for clinicians, the language is often accessible and grounding. For those exploring EMDR or trauma therapy, it offers reassurance: that there are practitioners committed to healing that is not only effective, but deeply humane.

Additional Notes or Warnings

• Includes clinical language and therapeutic case examples, but is readable for non-clinicians with interest in therapy models.
• Best for those already in therapy or looking to deepen their understanding of trauma-informed care.
• Gently addresses themes of complex trauma, dissociation, and therapeutic misattunement.
