Ana M. Gomez has written a lovely book for children or anyone about trauma and EMDR: Dark, Bad Day. . . Go Away! It’s simple, and complete, and true. The drawings by Carlos Serrano Acosta are lovely and expressive. And it has a good and true happy ending. There’s a "Note for Professionals" in the beginning about how to use the book in introducing EMDR to children. If you do EMDR with Children, buy this book. If you do EMDR with child parts, it could work, too. There are no kids in my practice, and I’m putting it in my waiting room for the adult clients to read. You can get it through EMDR-HAP’s store: http://www.emdrhap.org/osCommerce/index.php It’s selling like hotcakes at this week’s EMDRIA conference. I know. I saw it happen.

Hi Robin.
I have been lurking on your site for a few weeks. I am happy to find another therapist using Typepad.
I missed Ana Gomez last year, when the folks in my supervision group went to her workshop. I’m very interested in her book.
I’d also be interested in hearing more about the conference.
Best Regards,
Maureen Clancy
I have DID, and my therapist has this book. She has read it to us. We like it a lot. I am not doing EMDR yet, but I am told we are getting closer. I am kind of scared, but the book does help.
It is indeed an excellent book, I just started to read it, and so far it is very good, the illustrations are genius.
