This course will include the history of the model and its usefulness with different diagnoses, symptoms, and presenting issues. In addition, practical applications and research outcomes will be addressed.
This course is based on the recorded webinar, Introduction to the EMDR Model created by Jennifer Mercer-Castro, M.A., LMFT in 2023.
