Case Conceptualization for EMDR

Course overview

September 15, 2023 Live Webinar This training offers an in-depth look at ways to conceptualize complex trauma within the EMDR model. EMDR therapists work within a framework that often involves complexities throughout a clients trauma history. This training serves to develop an understanding of case conceptualization within the context of EMDR therapy by differentiating single and complex trauma symptoms. By thoroughly identifying goals, organizing clients presenting symptoms, and developing an appropriate treatment plan, clinicians will develop a clear understanding of how to navigate complex trauma within the EMDR model.
