Clinician Feedback:

EMDR Journey Board Game... I came upon your designed game by a supervisor of mine and it has quickly become the BEST tool I have in my arsenal. It’s incredibly effective, because kids are drawn to the “game” aspect to it; it separates them from the problem...making it more about a curiosity outside of themselves, yet still a part of it. It is easy for the therapist to follow and ‘sneaky’ enough that it doesn’t feel like “therapy”. Kids can feel safe to be vulnerable. I can’t say enough about this tool. I have recommended it to all of my EMDR therapist counterparts.
The game ‘separates them from the problem’ and allows them to feel safe to be vulnerable.
The children see the board as a game and seem to enjoy being involved in the activity. They more readily ask to do EMDR. As a visual person, myself, the board has helped me to “see” the phases and allowed me to organize the “journey” of the process better than any reading I have done.
