The original "When There Are No Words" early trauma approach to EMDR therapy was first developed by Katie O'Shea, LMHC, and was later adapted by Sandra Paulsen, PhD to provide additional considerations when treating individuals with complex trauma and dissociation. This modified EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapy protocol is aimed to reprocess early trauma and neglect in implicit memory, e.g., attachment wounds, foster and adoption trauma, early medical and birth trauma, etc.
