EMDR Reduces Symptoms of Psychosis

One of the questions that I always get asked while providing EMDR trainings is, "Does this work with people who have severe and persistent mental illness?" Here’s an article that suggests that not only does EMDR help individuals with severe and persistent mental illness reduce the symptoms of trauma but it also helps them reduce their symptoms of psychosis. EMDR has come along way since Francine Shapiro shared it with the world. Feel free to share this with those who might be curious about this latest research on EMDR and psychosis.

HOW OUR EMDR BASIC TRAINING DIFFERS

EMPOWER Training, Consulting and Therapy Inc. guides and teaches you how to create a sense of safety with you so that the real work can be done.  Our current national and international pandemic and all that accompanies these uncertain times, requires skills and tools that clients can take home with them and expand their window of tolerance by utilizing what you will be able to teach them. In addition, we teach you how to keep your patients contained to a recent, present, future OR a past trigger, hence meeting them where they are willing and ready to go.  There are a lot of EMDR Basic Trainings out there and not all of them include the 10 hours of consultation required to complete the course in the price of one!  Do your research and reach out with any questions you might have before signing up for a training! Looking forward to seeing you there!
