Principles of EMDR Therapy and Implications for Trauma Informed Care

Principles of EMDR Therapy and Implications for Trauma Informed Care is organized by Professional Psych Seminars (PPS) and will be held on Aug 15, 2026.

Description:
Have you wanted to know more about EMDR Therapy? Are you considering getting trained in EMDR or just want to know when to refer your clients for EMDR therapy? This webinar will (1) review the main principles and the model that informs EMDR Therapy; (2) examine new ways to view trauma and assess for adverse life events that may be behind a client’s stuck points; and (3) use neurobiology to activate components of memory to track disturbance as well as resources. Participants will leave with a better understanding of memory, trauma, neurobiology, cultural considerations, and applications for use in clinical practice. This is an introduction to EMDR. Training in EMDR Therapy requires a separate 50-hour course, and certification as an EMDR therapist requires additional training.

Objectives:

• Describe key treatment differences between adult-onset trauma and developmental trauma
• Name and describe the 3 prongs of EMDR therapy
• Identify the 8 phases of EMDR therapy
