Every Memory Deserves Respect is a book written with warmth and heart. It's about trauma, recovery, and a remarkable therapy called EMDR—Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. The authors, Michael Baldwin, a client who experienced transformative relief from trauma through EMDR therapy, and Dr. Deborah Korn, a leading expert on EMDR therapy, will discuss the circumstances that brought them together to write this book and the nature of their unique collaboration. Dr. Korn will provide an overview of how and why EMDR works and will share her thoughts on its strengths and range of applicability. Michael will talk about his therapeutic journey and about the many ways that EMDR therapy enabled him to heal and ultimately re-engage with life with renewed hope and clarity and a firm commitment to self-care.
