Ms Em Murphy:

To follow on from that, EMDR is very specialised. What we need are trauma-informed communities. It is not about being aware of these very specialised interventions. As Dr. Mac Gabhann said, it is understanding trauma as an individual experiencing it but also recognising that, as people dealing with anybody in the world, we all have some degree of trauma. What we need to change any of this stuff is a widespread understanding of trauma as systematic and affecting most of us.
