Praise for EMDR Inspired Art and Poetry

“This is a powerful collection of artistic expression both in terms of the compelling illustrative work and in the dynamic and potent written word… a stunning read that shines a light on a unifying but difficult to discuss human experience, opening the conversation for those who have experienced it and developing an understanding for those who have not.” – Readers’ Favorite

“…a synthesis of pain and pleasure… Odland’s ability to capture these circumstances of daily life experience and weave them into a greater story of healing and change sets this book apart from many others… And creative arts and therapy literature is all the richer for the appearance of EMDR Inspired Art and Poetry” – Midwest Book Review (D. Donovan – Senior Reviewer)

“A varied collection of earnest verses and impressive illustrations about therapy… Much of the poetry deals with the particular tension of being both someone who uses EMDR in treatment and someone who has undergone the same therapy… those with EMDR experience are likely to see a bit of themselves in these pages.” – Kirkus Reviews

“A searching, self-examining collection of poetry from the perspective of an EMDR therapist… Odland faces the stress and tension of contemporary life, including some pandemic-themed poems, making the case that the urge to seek relief from stress and trauma is deeply normal.” – BookLife Reviews
