This week we will be joined by Marta Cafone. She is a therapist with A Better Life Therapy and will be discussing her use of EMDR.

EMDR– Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing a way to assess bilateral understanding of the trauma.

Today’s Question: I feel that infidelity is a type of trauma and would EMDR be beneficial for someone like me that is experiencing the trauma of an affair?

Answer: Infidelity can be a traumatic experience. EMDR can be a helpful tool if someone is trying to get more grounded in their body. Trying to desensitize a trigger may be a key to helping to deal with this trauma. You cannot find safety and peace until you take away the triggers. It can be a challenge but the first step has to be to limit or remove the triggers. It will be difficult for you to ever let your partner close when you are hurting, angered and uncertain simply when being in the presence of your partner.
