Description

In this session, Laurel Parnell shows how to use Attachment-Focused EMDR with a client who has an eating disorder. Laurel Parnell is a certified EMDR therapist who is dedicated to motivating clients and clinicians in gaining understanding, balance and healing. You will walk away inspired to follow through with the concepts in your personal and professional lives.

In this video, Laurel demonstrates Attachment-Focused EMDR with a woman with a life-long problem with binge eating. In the beginning of the session the client described her difficulty with binge eating and provided a history of the problem. By the end of the session, she felt the initial scene clear, and then a positive cognition was installed.

You will learn the EMDR techniques Laurel Parnell uses in order to find the target and help the client to feel grounded and at peace.
