Join us for a conversation with Alison Leslie and Sanjoni Sethi talk about the human animal bond within the context of EMDR.
Alison Leslie, LCSW, SEP, is an EMDRIA-approved EMDR Trainer and Consultant whose work explores the intersection of EMDR, somatic therapy, and the human-animal bond. She is particularly interested in sentience-centered approaches that honor animals as relational partners and in how embodied connection with animals can support safety, attachment, regulation, and trauma healing.
Sanjoni Sethi is an RCI-registered Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist based in Delhi NCR, India, with over six years of experience. Her work draws on psychodynamic, relational and trauma-informed approaches, integrating EMDR, parts work and animal-assisted elements. She writes about relationships, emotional life, attachment, trauma and the possibilities of repair and connection.
