EMDR for Black Women

Here at Notice That!, I am very passionate about the ways EMDR and Somatic therapies can be used to support the health and healing journeys of Black women. I have witnessed so much unfold in the lives of Black women clients who do this work. Black women are a part of not only a racial group, but an ethnoracial-cultural group with its own set of norms, cues, ways of being and knowing, and histories.

It’s so wonderful to have listened to this episode and share this conversation by colleagues in the field.

I highly recommend a listen to “EMDR for Black Women” posted on the EMDR International Association podcast highlighting the role that EMDR can play in the healing of racialized-gendered stress and trauma experiences.
