FOR LICENSED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Laurel Parnell, PhD
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy for treating trauma-based problems. This revolutionary therapy has helped thousands of clients recover from such traumas as war, accidents, assaults, disasters and childhood abuse. In addition to the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, EMDR is also used to treat the psychological effects of smaller traumas that manifest as symptoms of depression, anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem, creativity blocks and relationship difficulties. Not only does healing occur much more rapidly than in traditional therapy, but as a result of EMDR's clearing of emotional and physical blockages, many people undergo spiritual transformation and have "beyond the ego" experiences using the technique.
In this training, which covers both EMDR Parts 1 and 2, we will learn:
*the history and development of EMDR
*the EMDR model and components of treatment
*its eight phases of treatment
*how to evaluate clients to gauge the appropriateness of EMDR treatment
*how to prepare clients for EMDR trauma processing
*protocols and procedures for using EMDR for a range of problems and
*how to use EMDR as a form of transpersonal psychotherapy.
Using lecture, small group practice and demonstrations in a supportive environment, we will learn beginning through advanced level EMDR. Because this course provides extensive time for practice, we will learn EMDR from the inside out, experiencing firsthand the power of this transformative therapy.
Note:
