Treating Trauma with EMDR and IFS

Kendhal Hart provides a clear, practical road map for integrating IFS and EMDR, showing how IFS enriches and deepens the healing potential of EMDR. Through specific examples across every phase of the EMDR protocol, she offers clinicians a powerful framework to enhance both efficacy and compassion in their work.

Finally, thanks to Kendhal Hart, the first book devoted entirely to the integration of these two powerful models has arrived. This long-awaited guide provides grounding in both approaches and thoroughly maps out an integrated course, interweaving the healing steps of each. A must-read, and a solid addition to the reference shelf, for the progressive eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapist.

With clarity, depth, and compassion, Kendhal Hart bridges IFS and EMDR in a way that is both accessible and transformative. It has been a true privilege to learn from her and witness the content evolve into the magic of this book. I’m confident it will serve as a guiding touchstone for therapists as we move forward accompanying clients on their healing journeys.
