EMDR Therapy for Childhood Sexual Abuse Memories in Men Who Have Sexually Offended Against Children 

Picture

"Five adult males who had sexually offended against children and had previously been victims of child sex abuse (CSA) were interviewed about their experiences of completing EMDR therapy on memories of their CSA. Data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Themes identified encapsulated descriptions of changes in participants’ perspectives of their CSA that led to changes in perspectives of their offending behavior and victims, reduction in sexual preoccupation, increased desire for healthy adult relationships and reduced sexual arousal to children. Therefore EMDR could potentially contribute to the reduction of re-offending in this population."

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!
