Introduction to the EMDR Model

About the Course

In this course we will explore the Model of EMDR, its potential usefulness within your practice, and the model as an adjunct therapy.

This course will include the history of the model and its usefulness with different diagnoses, symptoms, and presenting issues. In addition, practical applications and research outcomes will be addressed.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Introduction to the EMDR Model created by Jennifer Mercer-Castro, M.A., LMFT in 2023.
