Accessibility is also a key focus, with discussions on the growing number of trained EMDR therapists and the increasing inclusion of EMDR training in counseling programs. The episode explores the benefits of telehealth, which has expanded EMDR's reach, making it more accessible to diverse populations, including those in remote areas or with limited mobility.
