mindyourmind recently had an opportunity to interview Theo Fleury, former NHL player and sexual abuse survivor. He talks about trauma, a long battle with addiction and how EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing) helped him through. There are 5 video segments. In segment 2 at about the 3 minute mark he goes into some depth about EMDR. You may want to consider showing this video to your clients who are new to EMDR or perhaps your male sexual abuse survivor clients. His story is an inspiration and goes a long way in addressing the stigma associated with reaching out for help. He was very gracious and generous with his time perhaps because he understood that this interview could reach those who are struggling with similar issues.
The entire interview is located here.
