An awareness session to Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Date/Time

17/01/2024 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Psychological therapy which can support a person whilst suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is one of the most significant and innovative recent developments for treating conditions related to trauma and adverse life experiences. During processing with EMDR therapy, disturbing events, frozen in time, are processed to an adaptive resolution.

Supported by extensive research, EMDR is recommended for treating PTSD in national and international guidelines, including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO). Its effectiveness with many other psychological disorders has also been established.

In this introductory workshop, Dr Robin Logie will explain the theoretical basis for EMDR, summarise the EMDR protocol and describe how a typical session of EMDR takes place. He will describe the client groups for whom this therapy is effective and briefly review the current research evidence for the effectiveness of EMDR.

This session is relevant to anyone who wants to learn more about EMDR. This intervention is evidence-based and is a NICE-recognised intervention for trauma.
