EMDR therapy and Trauma-informed Care: from theory to practice

Course overview

Learn the fundamentals of Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) principles and how to apply them in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to enhance the therapeutic process for trauma survivors. TIC focuses on creating a safe, collaborative, and empowering environment for both clients and staff, which aligns with the structured phases of EMDR. Each phase of EMDR is reviewed in detail, with concrete examples of how to apply TIC principles to make your work with clients safer, more empowering, and more collaborative throughout. After completing this training, you will have a clear understanding of TIC's principles and application in your work with EMDR clients. By integrating TIC principles into EMDR therapy, clinicians can offer a more comprehensive and compassionate approach to trauma treatment. This integration supports client empowerment, fosters a healing environment, and enhances the overall effectiveness of therapy.
