Using Spirituality in EMDR Therapy offers a means for EMDR therapists to integrate a spiritual perspective into their own lives as well as their clinical practice.

The book offers a valuable alternative to traditional forms of psychotherapy by placing an emphasis on purpose and meaning. Taking a spiritually informed model, Heart Led Psychotherapy (HLP), which is applicable to anyone regardless of their spiritual beliefs, the book uses a BioPsychoSocioSpiritual approach to treat psychological distress. The book provides a comprehensive guide on how to incorporate spirituality into each of the 8 phases of EMDR therapy and beyond. It will increase your confidence to work spiritually with clients to deepen their transformative healing process and support them to live a more authentic, heart led life.

Illustrated with case studies to highlight key points and including a range of practical resources, exercises, scripts and strategies, this engaging book will be of great interest to EMDR therapists.
