After his engaging presentation at the EMDR UK Bristol Conference in March 2026, Dr Russ Hurn sits down with psychosexual, relationship, and EMDR therapist Silva Neves, editor of Erotically Queer.

Silva reflects on his personal journey with EMDR—first as a client, where he experienced its transformative power firsthand, and later as a trained therapist. Together, they explore the unique challenges LGBTQ+ clients may face in therapy, and how EMDR can offer meaningful support.
