Truth In Love · TIL 273: How Should Biblical Counselors Assess EMDR Therapy?
This week on the podcast, we turn our attention to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy—better known in our culture as EMDR. We want to turn our attention here, in part because during my time as Executive Director at ACBC we’ve had several questions relative to EMDR. We want to present at least some thoughts—I would say maybe even cautions—about this type of therapy. It’s gained a lot of attraction along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the secular and integrated world, and even among the Christian community. We need to be cautious and careful when we were approaching EMDR, but I want you to know a little bit about it so that you can make wise decisions as you approach hopefully any type of counseling system.
