Course Description:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective and efficient method of treating traumatic memories and related problems. This program has no “parts” or “levels” - this is the complete EMDR training as defined by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). This is a hands-on clinical skills training for using EMDR and integrating it with your psychotherapy approach. This program is designed to help participants learn when and how to use EMDR, and to gain competency with EMDR over a period of several months.
The training program involves lecture, demonstration, in-class practice, and on-the-job practice with your clients. This is an experiential training, including practice with other participants.
