Introduction to EMDR with Dr Marilyn Tew

Introduction to EMDR – What is it and is it worth exploring? – With Dr Marilyn Tew

This is a workshop of discovery for many, and of deeper clarification for others.  We will firstly find out what EMDR is, its history and reputation. How does it actually work and what’s the neuroscience that supports it?

Venturing into the realms of clinical application, we will reflect on which clients might benefit from EMDR and where there may be contra-indications for its use.  We will debate its use with single-incident trauma and with complex, multiple trauma presentations drawing from Marilyn’s wealth of clinical experience over the last 12 years.

There will be time to observe a mock-up of a clinical session on video and maybe even for some real-life work with a volunteer from the group (if anyone is brave enough!)

 At the end of the day, you will have:

• a much clearer picture of EMDR and the way that it works;
• the clinical processes;
• the scope of its efficacy and the evidence to support it.

You will not be able to claim that you are in any way trained to use EMDR but you will know where to go to find quality training if you want to take it further.
