An Introduction to Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

An Introduction to Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) 2CE

Tuesday, June 8th @ 7:00 - 9:00 PM

EMDR is an evidence-based practice for trauma endorsed by the American Psychiatric Association, Department of Veteran Affairs and others, and conditionally recommended by the American Psychological Association.

Dr. Keith Sutton has been practicing EMDR since 2006, and teaching and supervising trainees in EMDR since 2010. Dr Sutton will discuss the theoretical underpinnings of EMDR and describe the techniques, and discuss how it can be integrated into individual, couple, and family work. Participants will have the opportunity to practice some of the techniques.
