EMDR Advanced Trainings

While the basic EMDR training provides a solid foundation in the approach, advanced EMDR trainings offer specialized knowledge and skills to address complex cases. Advanced EMDR trainings focus on diverse areas such as eating disorders, complex disorders, OCD, phobias, addictive disorders, and dissociative disorders.

 

One of the key areas that advanced EMDR trainings focus on is eating disorders. Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder are complex conditions that often have roots in trauma. EMDR therapy can help individuals with eating disorders process and resolve underlying traumatic experiences that contribute to disordered eating behaviors. By addressing the trauma that fuels the eating disorder, EMDR can help individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve their relationship with food and body image.

​

Clinicians treating complex disorders, which involve a combination of trauma, attachment issues, and other challenging factors, can also benefit from advanced EMDR trainings. These disorders often present unique therapeutic challenges that require a nuanced and integrated approach. EMDR therapy can be effectively adapted to address the complexity of such cases by targeting specific traumatic memories and working towards comprehensive healing and integration.

​

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and phobias are anxiety disorders that can significantly impact a person's quality of life. Advanced EMDR trainings equip therapists with the tools to effectively address the underlying traumatic experiences that contribute to these conditions. By using EMDR to desensitize and reprocess traumatic memories associated with OCD and phobias, individuals can experience significant relief from their symptoms and gain greater control over their thoughts and behaviors.

​

Addictive disorders, such as substance use disorders, eating disorders, self-harm, and love/sex addiction, are often rooted in unresolved trauma and emotional dysregulation. Advanced EMDR trainings focus on helping individuals who struggle with addictive behaviors by targeting the core traumas that drive their addictive patterns. By processing and integrating these traumatic memories, individuals can gain insight into the underlying motivations for their addictive behaviors and develop healthier coping strategies to support their recovery.

​

Dissociative disorders, such as Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder, involve disruptions in a person's sense of self and reality. Advanced EMDR trainings provide therapists with the advanced skills necessary to work with complex dissociative presentations. EMDR therapy can help individuals with dissociative disorders stabilize their sense of self, integrate fragmented memories, and develop a cohesive sense of identity.

​

Advanced EMDR trainings offer specialized knowledge and skills to address a wide range of psychological disorders, including eating disorders, complex disorders, OCD, phobias, addictive disorders, and dissociative disorders. By honing their expertise in EMDR therapy, clinicians can provide effective and comprehensive treatment to individuals struggling with these challenging conditions, ultimately supporting them on their journey towards healing and recovery.
