Hello ,
The Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs community of volunteers - whether educators, or clinicians providing treatment, enters this holiday season of giving united in the belief that trauma can be healed! Whether you serve through education, advocacy, crisis intervention or giving, the Board and staff are grateful for your unfailing generosity. Your donations - time, talent and financial support, bring relief to those suffering the effects of trauma locally and in developing countries. We must press on with the urgent work of recovery and hope we can count on your continued support - mind, body and spirit.
Thank you from all of us at Trauma Recovery,
EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs
In this issue, learn about the on-going life changing work at a Wisconsin hospital, an update on Puerto Rico, and the passion of faculty and Trauma Recovery trained clinicians network-wide:
- Agnesian HealthCare - client results lead agency to EMDR training of staff,
- Puerto Rico Update - Treatment outcomes, innovation and new research partnership following Hurricane Maria relief training efforts,
- Our Annual Appeal - the healing work your support enabled throughout the year to the victims of the many, many crises. The need to increase the number of EMDR and related therapy-trained professionals escalates as war, terrorism, violence and disasters sew chaos worldwide.
All the best,
Carol R. Martin

Client Results Lead to Agency EMDR Training
|
 |
When Beth Rogers-Doll, Ph.D., executive director of Agnesian Behavioral HealthCare, saw stunning client success with EMDR therapy in her practice, Doll & Associates, she knew she had to share this therapy with her colleagues. Originally trained in EMDR in 1999, she had not really used EMDR until retraining with Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs in 2012.
Following retraining, she proactively applied EMDR and saw dramatic progress in client healing. She knew many more needed help in her Fond du Lac, Wisconsin community, and began searching for a means to bring EMDR training to Agnesian HealthCare.

Pet of the Month:

"A true friend leaves paw prints on your heart" - Unknown
"Moses is a 13 year old domestic short haired cat. Moses came to our house in February 2018, after the death of his owner, my dad. Moses may have been traumatized by witnessing the death of dad and remaining with him until it was discovered three days later. When I went to find Moses at the house, he came out as soon as he heard my voice and sat in my lap in the car for the hour ride ride to my house. Moses has attached himself to me ever since. The first few weeks Moses had night terrors and would wake up howling. Now the terrors have stopped. We laugh that Moses is part dog, as he follows me around the house and is very friendly to visitors. He is always at the back door when I come home from work each night. Moses drools when he purrs, and he purrs alot, so you often get a facial when he goes to bed at night. We can't imagine life without Moses at this point. We have another cat and a dog, Moses gets along with just fine. I think both of us are glad to have found each other. "
