This past weekend in Atlanta has affirmed what I already knew: EMDR therapists are very generous people! So many of you made time to make your contribution to the movie, and we're so grateful!
Barbara Hensley was the humble recipient of the Francine Shapiro award on Friday night. And among her numerous generous activities, her $1000 contribution to the movie was mentioned in the speech to honour her. Thank you again, Barbara -- you were the first to make a donation this size.... who will be next?
Sara Gilman (incoming President of EMDRIA) also stopped by the table to make a contribution... despite the fact that her back was so sore she could hardly bend over -- the sacrifices we make! Thank you, Sara, for your generosity in re the movie, and for your committment to EMDR.
The tribute evening to Francine was so moving... from Chris Ranck's stunning musical gifts, to the video Michael created with interviews from many who have been involved with EMDR for years. What a wonderful gift of humour and struggle Michael portrayed in a very few minutes! I was moved just by the sheer numbers in that room, the strong presence of HAP, all inspired by Francine's tenacity and committment to "nobody gets left behind."
I felt so humbled and proud to be associated with this community of people, all committed to making a difference through EMDR. I feel confident this passion will be a major character in the movie!
