This year’s EMDRIA Conference is taking place in Washington State! Close to home! Check out the schedule and see if it might be of interest to you! Members get a discounted rate so don’t wait until last minute to get the hotel, as they sell out fast. If you’re working towards certification, you will be able to get your CE’s. I attended the last conference in August 2023 and learned a lot! It's a great opportunity to get to know fellow EMDR clinicians and do some networking.  

Read this article about a study exploring the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for psychosis (EMDRp) as a therapy for early psychosis patients who have experienced trauma. They compared 16 sessions of EMDRp plus standard treatment to standard treatment alone. Those who received EMDRp showed promising improvements in psychotic symptoms, recovery from psychosis, PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, and overall health at both the 6-month and 12-month marks. The findings suggest that EMDRp could be beneficial for early psychosis patients with trauma histories, highlighting the need for further research to confirm its effectiveness.

This study evaluated the effectiveness and acceptability of online EMDR therapy compared to in-person EMDR for PTSD. The evaluation compared therapy outcomes, session numbers, dropout rates, and adverse events between online and in-person EMDR over a 12-month period. Interviews with therapists and clients indicated that online EMDR was viewed as safe and effective, offering benefits such as increased control and reduced travel. Overall, the findings suggest that online EMDR is a viable, safe, and effective alternative to in-person therapy for PTSD within the service studied. Learn more by clicking below!
