Description

EMDR Therapy is one of the most popular therapies available today for the treatment of trauma-related concerns, appearing in the evidence-based treatment guidelines of many prominent organizations. Since its introduction to the therapeutic world in 1989, EMDR Therapy has helped millions of people worldwide. In this short course, professionals are introduced both to the fundamentals of EMDR Therapy and how EMDR Therapy conceptualizes trauma through the lens of what is called the adaptive information processing (AIP) model. This conceptualization can be useful to all professionals who want to operate in a more trauma- focused way in their clinical work, whether or not they go on to do a full training in EMDR Therapy. The course ends with going over an explanation of the full training process and will help you to determine if fully adding EMDR Therapy to your clinical repertoire is a good fit.
