EMDR Therapy is recommended by the World Health Organization for the treatment of Anxiety Related Disorders in Adults & Children (WHO 2013). This includes PTSD, acute stress and general anxiety often caused by adverse childhood events, exposure to violence or disasters. Our program will teach you how to use the knowledge of EMDR trauma treatment in a culturally sensitive and client focused manner based on the "body keeping score" (neurobiology). EMDR has over 30 years of evidence-based research, established in over 80 countries and a history of humanitarian work adapted for diverse populations. EMDR has also been shown to be the most cost-effective treatment for PTSD.
You will learn how to use all components of EMDR therapy as a culturally sensitive, client-centred therapy.
