I wish I’d had this book back when I was newly trained in EMDR. It would’ve made so many things click sooner. But honestly, this isn’t just for new clinicians—it’s a fantastic resource no matter where you are in your EMDR journey. It covers a wide range of topics, and even with years of experience, I still came away with new insights.
What I loved most was how approachable it is. The chapters are digestible, not overwhelming, and packed with practical tools and strategies. It doesn’t read like a heavy academic text, which makes it so much more usable day-to-day.
It’s clear Rotem Brayer put a lot of care and research into this book, and I’ll be recommending it often. If you practice EMDR, this is one to keep on your shelf.
