EMDR therapy training programs

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy training programs prepare mental health professionals to safely and effectively use EMDR techniques to treat trauma and emotional distress. These programs typically include coursework on trauma theory, the scientific basis of EMDR, and supervised practice in applying specific protocols. Graduates gain skills to guide clients through bilateral stimulation (like eye movements) that help process distressing memories, reduce emotional pain, and promote healing. Certification requirements vary but generally involve completing training, supervised practice hours, and ongoing education to ensure competent and ethical application of EMDR.
