Recorded webinar

Troubleshooting when using EMDR online

Who should attend?

Professionals, psychologists, family therapists, social workers, residential staff, foster care workers and caseworkers in child protection, who work with chronically traumatized children and their families.

Content

In the past months many clinicians have been trying to deliver EMDR therapy from home and online. Many webinars have covered the basics of how to do that, but the reality can be more challenging. This webinar addresses more advanced questions such as: What if a client does not want to continue with EMDR online, how can I convince them? What to do when a client has an abreaction? How to manage risk of dissociation during EMDR? How can we do EMDR online with children? Can we do EMDR with preverbal trauma and very young children and infants online? The presentation is illustrated with video’s demonstrating EMDR online.
