admin@emdrtherapy.com
This one-day refresher course is for clinicians who have already completed the Basic Training in EMDR Therapy and want to brush up on the essentials of the model.
We will take a broader view of EMDR as a psychotherapy and how the standard protocol as well as other specialized protocols and techniques are part of the clinical repertoire of the EMDR therapist.
We will review the AIP model and how that informs our case formulation and treatment planning, as well as go over the procedural steps so it’s more second nature to you. How and when we modify the standard protocol as well as accentuating what is positive will be discussed as we take a bigger picture view of treating the whole person beyond the remission of their symptoms.
There will be plenty of time for discussion and review of actual client sessions to deepen your appreciation of the transformative power of EMDR therapy to heal trauma.
