EMDR WORKS Training and Developmental Pathway

 

EMDR Works training is highly interactive with a balance between theoretical, practical work and video material.


During training, practical work takes place in small groups (maximum 12) with the assistance of an experienced facilitator or trainer. Trainees will also practice the protocol by working on their own material (i.e. an old traumatic memory) both as a client and clinician.

What is EMDR Europe?

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing represents one of the most important and innovative steps in the treatment of PTSD and psychological trauma in many years. EMDR Europe develops and delivers EMDR training courses which are extensively researched and fully endorsed by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE).

EMDR Europe promotes a form of psychotherapy training that is recognised and practiced the world over. EMDR courses take an extremely interactive approach to training; striking a balance between theoretical, practical and visual learning.

What do EMDR training courses involve?

EMDR courses are held in small groups (no more than twelve people) and are led by a friendly and experienced facilitator. The psychotherapy training is divided up into four stages in which trainees are required to draw on their own memories and deal with them from the perspective of both a client and a clinician.

The four sections of EMDR training courses are

Part One - Two days of basic theory and practice. This involves learning about the history and development of EMDR and establishing ways of conceptualising cases and strategies for dealing with varying types of client.

Part Two - Two days of looking at recognising symptoms, locating root memories and building templates for client defence mechanisms. The second phase of EMDR courses also involve role playing as both a client and clinician, and upon completion the trainee will be credited with two hours supervision to go towards their final accreditation.

Part Three - Two days of dealing with chronic trauma and dissociation. The group will discuss sexual and other forms of child abuse and their long-term effects, and learn how to help clients develop strategies to prevent oncoming anxiety.

Part Four - A one day refresher that is also worth six hours of supervision accreditation. Trainees will look at how to effectively apply the theory taught on EMDR courses to their practice and learn through sharing of experiences using EMDR amongst the group.

Who is eligible for EMDR training courses?

EMDR courses are limited to mental health professionals who are qualified and accredited in the core fields of psychiatry, psychology, mental health nursing and social work with mental health training.

It is also possible for places on EMDR courses to be allocated to occupational therapists, art therapists, GPs and applicants in the final year of study depending on their qualifications, accreditations and experience.
