Chers collègues et amis

Je viens d’apprendre le décès cette nuit de Francine Shapiro. La perte de nos grands hommes et femmes, dont les découvertes ont été capitales pour l’humanité ne peut que nous affecter grandement. En considérant tout ce que l’EMDR m’a appris, personnellement je suis touché.

Dearest Colleagues,

Today we received the sad notification of the passing of Francine Shapiro – the originator of EMDR Therapy.

This is a tragic loss to our community. We will be forever indebted for her endeavours in trying to alleviate the global burden of psychological trauma.

Remembered always as a ‘Colossus’ in the trauma field – her contribution, incalculable, her impact, immeasurable.

A remarkable woman – and a wonderful human being, a humanitarian of the highest order.

We will miss her – I will miss her, for she literally changed my life.

May your footprints in the sand remain eternal.

Forever in respect

Derek Farrell
