2023 Summer Intensive: EMDR Training Workshop
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) has been found to be an effective treatment for trauma. There is controversy surrounding the mechanisms of action in EMDR, but the research shows and the clinicians who use it find it very effective. It incorporates elements of cognitive therapy in its focus on cognitions and use of cognitive interweaves, dynamic therapy in its use of free association and catharsis, neurolinguistic programing in its use of distancing techniques, behavioral therapy in its use of imaginal exposure, and elements from other approaches. Dr. Sutton will teach the theory and techniques of EMDR, and discuss how to apply it to working with trauma and also how to integrate EMDR into everyday practice for a variety of other issues that aren't trauma based.
