"Ecotherapy-Informed EMDR by Jennifer Marchand is a refreshing and essential guide for therapists seeking a holistic and culturally responsive approach to trauma treatment. Through powerful metaphors like comparing the AIP system to a river cleared by EMDR, Jen demonstrates how nature can enhance therapeutic processes. The book's practical implementation guidance, offering specific methods for incorporating art, movement, and nature into each EMDR phase, combined with its emphasis on cultural humility, makes it a valuable resource for EMDR therapists ready to deepen their work with clients in meaningful and respectful ways."

"Ecotherapy-Informed EMDR is most certainly a book for our times. In an increasingly fragmented, polarized, and dangerous world that is reeling from one catastrophe to the next, Jennifer Marchand calmly leads us back to our grounding, soothing roots in healing cultural practices and the natural world. Her broad cultural experiences--both personal and professional--lend her an authentic authority to share the cultural humility that we all seek as therapists. Her experiences have vastly enriched her therapeutic approaches, which she generously shares with us in this book. She has seamlessly woven ecotherapy with EMDR in lovely iterations of connections among ourselves--our whole selves, the natural world, and ancient practices of art and healing. There were many moments while reading this book where I thought, 'Yes! Yes! This is how the healing journey can be expanded and supported!' I could not help but think that Marchand has not only given us powerful therapeutic tools. Far beyond that, she has offered an opportunity to immerse ourselves--both personally and professionally--in rich cultural vitality and in joyful reunion with the natural world, our true home. I enthusiastically recommend that therapists read this book and take to heart its grounding and healing practices."

"Jennifer Marchand is one of the important voices challenging the status quo in the EMDR community. Ecotherapy-Informed EMDR is an important contribution to the EMDR world's body of knowledge, and I am particularly impressed with its attunement to cultural responsiveness and connection to the natural world. Marchand's depathologizing tone and voice throughout the book will be much appreciated by trauma survivors, especially those living with dissociative experiences. I truly enjoyed reading this book and learned a great deal from Marchand's lived experience with offering EMDR therapy globally."
