EMDR by reason
EMDR and migration
Written by María Eugenia Buceta, psychologist, licence 88498, EMDR basic training complete.
People describe living between two places: missing family and friends, feeling like an outsider in the new country, getting tired of explaining everything in another language. Sometimes the move itself came from something hard: a crisis, a threat, a loss.
In EMDR the work covers the heaviest moments of the move, such as the goodbye, a hard arrival, or losses you couldn't be there for, and the resources for the new life.
Many people have their sessions online, with a therapist from the country they left. You can search by language and choose which one to speak in.
