122: Exploring AI in EMDR with Jocelyn Fitzgerald

Welcome to EMDR Playground, the podcast for therapists who want to integrate EMDR and play with confidence, clarity, and creativity. Hosted by Jackie Flynn, Registered Play Therapist, EMDRIA Trainer, and author of the EMDR with Kids Flipchart, this show explores how fidelity to the EMDR model, a deep understanding of the nervous system, and the language of play can transform therapy for children, teens, and adults. Each episode offers practical strategies, expert conversations, and insights you can use right away to help your clients heal more deeply. Whether you're EMDR-trained or just beginning to explore this powerful approach, EMDR Playground is your space to grow, connect, and bring more depth and effectiveness to your work. In this episode, I sit down with Jocelyn Fitzgerald, art therapist and EMDR consultant, to explore her thoughts on the use of AI art in clinical work. Because art therapy is such a central part of her work, she brings a thoughtful and important perspective to how AI-generated imagery intersects with EMDR. We talk about the pros and cons of using AI art, and what it means to integrate these tools without losing the human connection at the heart of therapy. This is a grounded conversation about possibility, caution, and staying anchored in what matters most as our field continues to evolve.
