This episode of Call Sign Wizard, hosted by Doc V, focuses on helping therapists working with veterans to utilize a veteran's inherent strengths in the preparation phase of EMDR therapy. Doc V explains how to create and use a Positive Event Timeline to uncover and harness veterans' resilience, courage, and adaptability, which are often formed during their military careers. The timeline not only aids in reprocessing trauma but also serves as a tool for case conceptualization and treatment planning. The episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing and reinforcing these positive qualities to provide the best care possible for veterans.
