Dr. Laurel Parnell is an internationally recognised clinical psychologist, author, consultant, and the developer of the innovative treatment approach: Attachment Focused EMDR

She has trained thousands of clinicians nationally and internationally, and is the author of several bestselling books, including, “Tapping In”, “Rewiring the Addicted Brain”, and “Attachment Focused EMDR” which this interview focuses on.

In a wide-ranging conversation, we explore:

— The role of imagination in attachment focused EMDR and how it can be applied to heal developmental deficits

— What happens during an attachment focused EMDR session, both in the client’s internal world and in the therapy room.

And more.
