Forum Guidelines

This forum was originally intended to be a place for professionals to collaborate about EMDR. It still is. The lay public has also found occasion to post here. After serious deliberation, the EMDR Institute has decided to permit such public participation, being guided by the greater good --- many readers are influenced by what they read here, to seek consultation with trained professionals.

It is still true that this is NOT a suitable format for individuals who seek advice about their own private issues -- after all, good advice requires full assessment in an appropriate therapeutic relationship. However, we will respond to public questions in a general (not case specific) way.

Any posts that are inappropriate, whether from professionals or the lay public, will be deleted, at the discretion of Francine Shapiro, PhD, the invited speaker of this forum, or her designate.

Professionals who post here are urged to identify themselves correctly. After all, when we act as mental health professionals in any capacity, we are acting under our licensed professional identities -- even on this forum. The public is reminded to take anonymous postings with a grain of salt.
