Dr. Laurel Parnell is a leading expert on the therapeutic tool, eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing which is more widely known as EMDR.
She has trained thousands of clinicians nationally and internationally, and is the author of several bestselling books, including: “Attachment Focused EMDR”, “Tapping In”, and “Rewiring the Addicted Brain with EMDR-Based Treatment”, which this interview focuses on.
In a wide-ranging conversation, we explore:
— The neural mechanisms and the connection between the left and right hemispheres which may help to explain why EMDR works
— The “Connecting to Consequences” Protocol, and how it can be leveraged to let go of unwanted behaviours and long standing addictions
— Dr Parnell’s groundbreaking Attachment-Focused EMDR approach and its role in addiction treatment
— The incredible power of “Resource Tapping” and how it can be a catalyst for fostering internal secure attachment.
And more.
