Exploring EMDR for Medical Trauma Healing A Community Conversation with Shelley Freeman, LCMHC, LPC

$24.00

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a well-known trauma therapy—but many people still have questions about what it is, how it works, and whether it might be supportive for them.

In this Community Conversation, licensed therapist Shelley Freeman, LCMHC, LPC, will share how she uses EMDR to support clients healing from trauma. Shelley will walk us through the foundations of EMDR, how it supports trauma processing and the nervous system, and what the EMDR process can look like in real-world practice.

This is a gentle, educational space where you are invited to:

  • Learn how EMDR works and why it’s used for trauma healing

  • Understand what EMDR sessions typically involve

  • Ask questions about EMDR in a supportive, non-clinical setting

  • Explore whether EMDR might be a helpful option for your own healing journey

You do not need prior experience with EMDR to attend. This conversation is educational in nature and is not a substitute for therapy.
