EMDR Europe and UK accredited EMDR training that works

Psychological trauma can be terrible to live with, and as mental health professionals you want to do everything you can to help the patients that come through your door. Having in-depth EMDR training is one of the best things you can do to help patients recover from incidents of psychological trauma, and with the right skills you'll have the power to help them get back to normality.

Improve your skills and help your patients with EMDR training

EMDR is a new and exciting development in the realm of PTSD treatment, working on the principle that specific eye movements can reduce the intensity of distressing thoughts and feelings. This treatment can influence how the brain itself functions by changing and restoring the way patients deal with problems, and after successful treatment their memories can still be recalled but they won't be accompanied by feelings of pain or distress.

EMDR is a natural therapy and has been shown to be incredibly effective in the treatment of psychological trauma, with the healing process being greatly accelerated and the results long-lasting. With the right EMDR training you'll be able to learn all the skills necessary to help your patients recover from the pain associated with psychological trauma, helping them on the road to recovery.

In-depth EMDR training from the experts

Of course, this form of PTSD training needs to be received from the experts if you want to be fully conversant in the area. You need to go on EMDR workshops that take you through every stage from theories of psychological trauma to practical ways of dealing with it, and after effective EMDR training you'll be able to turn your skills into effective treatments. You'll want EMDR training providers that can give you full EMDR UK and Europe accreditation so you can safely and legally use these treatments on your patients, and if you're looking for in-depth EMDR training to give you the skills that you need then we should be your first and only port of call.

Take a Leading EMDR Course with EMDR Works

At EMDR Works, we are passionate about helping people gain the knowledge to help others overcome PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and psychological trauma. Since Dr Francine Shapiro reported successful use of EMDR to treat victims of severe trauma in 1989, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) has become one of the most significant developments in trauma treatment. Our EMDR training course is designed to provide a comprehensive insight into this fascinating area, with careful attention paid to every key aspect.

Each EMDR course is held in a small group of no more than twelve people to ensure a more focused teaching method. Trainees will draw on their own memories in order to deal with them as both client and clinician, to enhance their knowledge from both perspectives. This process has led to many people discovering the benefits of EMDR training in the UK, which subsequently benefits their clients.

A Leading Choice for EMDR Training in the UK

Each EMDR course is arranged in four main sections across seven days in total, with the first two days focused on basic theory and practice. This includes a look at the history and developmental process of EMDR and methods of conceptualising cases and ways to deal with clients of all kinds. The next two days in the EMDR training course covers recognising symptoms, root memories and constructing templates for client defence mechanisms. This will also feature some role playing from both a client's viewpoint and that of the clinician.

Following this, two more days will deal with chronic trauma and dissociation, with such subjects for discussion as child abuse in various forms, its long-term effects, and helping clients to develop ways of preventing oncoming anxiety. The final part of the EMDR course is a one day refresher to apply what they have learnt to their practice and learn more through sharing experiences amongst the rest of the group. Each EMDR training course is led by an experienced facilitator who is friendly and committed to providing the best EMDR training they can for all trainees.

Undertaking EMDR Training in the UK

An EMDR training course is available only to mental health professionals with qualifications and accreditation in psychiatry, psychology, mental health nursing and social work with mental health training. However, people in specific fields such as occupational and art therapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, GPs and applicants in their last year of study may be permitted to undertake EMDR training in the UK. This is dependent on their experience, qualifications and accreditations.

An EMDR training course is one of the most innovative methods of PTSD training in use today. As PTSD can have a long and debilitating effect on people's lives, it needs to be taken seriously and treated with the utmost professionalism. Undertaking an EDMR course will equip trainees with the necessary psychological skills and PTSD training required to provide effective assistance to those suffering from the after-effects of a traumatic event. This is sure to give you the confidence you need to effectively assist and treat those who need your help.

Following the completion of the course, trainees will be qualified to practice EMDR as treatment to a large assortment of client groups, integrate these new skills to your current knowledge base, and blend EMDR with short-term focused treatments or more long-term psychotherapeutic methods.
