EMDR Refresher Course

CE Hours 4

About this course

This EMDR refresher course is for EMDR trained therapists to refresh their skills and refine their clinical practice. Review the fundamentals of EMDR for new and seasoned EMDR therapists to strengthen their clinical foundation. We will discuss the original 8 phase protocol and clinical reasons when the protocol may need to be modified for stuck processing points. This is a comprehensive overview of EMDR therapy and we will review the 8 prong 3 phase protocol and its implementation with patients. Furthermore, we will discuss strategies for complex presentations, cognitive interweaves and how to document EMDR sessions. Come learn about how to document the 8-phase protocol and how to create goals, treatment plans and evidenced based notes using the golden-thread approach. Tie all of your documentation together so it flows back to the treatment plan, while staying loyal to the 8 phase EMDR protocol and baseline measures.
