When Christine Mark-Griffin began working with young kids, she quickly realized that traditional therapy was often not enough to fully unravel the trauma and pain that these little ones were carrying. Inspired by her clients' creativity and imagination, she set out to create a resource specifically designed for use with young clients. What started off as a few kid-friendly EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) worksheets has now evolved into an entire collection.
Filled with colorful visuals, worksheets, and activities, the EMDR Workbook for Kids will allow you to playfully integrate EMDR therapy into your practice with elementary-aged children. Grounded in the core components of EMDR, the tools in this workbook can address a variety of common childhood concerns, including:
- Anxiety, worry, sadness, and anger
- Parental divorce, separation, and conflict
- Bullying
- Medical problems
- Grief and loss
- Nightmares and sleeping problems
- And much more!
Help kids get unstuck from scary and traumatic thoughts, memories, and emotions.
