Research on EMDR has been focused on the treatment of trauma, however, it is effective in treating many other issues. EMDR is effective at reducing any irrational negative beliefs one has about themselves regardless of if it is tied to a traditional trauma memory. EMDR can be used to treat a variety of conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, self-injurious behavior, mood dysregulation, impulsivity, addiction, grief, and many others. Most therapists that come to us for training have heard of EMDR from a colleague or experienced it as a client. Many are also interested in adding a new skill to their toolkit. Our Basic Training provides tangible skills for treating any level of trauma.

All steps of the EMDR protocol will be taught in-depth. You will have the opportunity to develop close relationships within your small cohort. The EMDR Training Group teaches therapists how to effectively treat trauma.
