EMDR & Kids With Anxiety: eBook Available on Psychwire

EMDR & Kids With Anxiety was created to help therapists bring meaningful relief to children and teens struggling with anxiety. With more than 40 years of experience working with young clients, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful EMDR therapy can be when adapted thoughtfully to developmental needs.

What You’ll Learn Inside

In this guide, I provide practical ways to adapt EMDR therapy to address anxiety in kids and teens, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, OCD, phobias, and school avoidance. You’ll find:

• EMDR modifications for younger clients that align with their cognitive and emotional stages

• Tools to address catastrophic thinking and future fears

• Protocols for targeting anxiety-related events in session

• Strategies to reprocess maladaptive memories and triggers that maintain anxiety cycles

Why This Resource Matters

Anxiety can feel overwhelming for children and their families, but EMDR therapy offers a path to lasting relief. My hope is that this eBook serves as a practical, empowering tool for clinicians who want to expand their EMDR toolkit and support kids in building calmer, more resilient futures.
