Notice That

Recorded at the EMDRIA Conference 2026 in Anaheim, this conversation from the Notice That podcast's Notes from the Hall series features Dr. Sarah Schubert, minutes after her keynote, on what Eye Movement Desensitization...

Most of us were trained well to sit with someone in the worst hour of their life. Almost none of us were trained to price that hour, or to tell anyone we're available for it. Lilly Risch, an EMDR therapist, group...

There's a session most of us have had. The thing underneath the thing finally gets said, the client stays with it, you stay with them, and the hour ends in that particular quiet neither of you wants to close. You write...

Most of us were trained with real care to attend to one half of the room. Symptom picture. Presenting circumstances. Developmental history. What happened to this person, what it did to them, and which of it belongs on a...

EMDR was built to trust the client's system. David Archer asks the question that honors that premise and then extends it: whose system, from whose culture, holding whose history? Before some clinicians of color would...
