EMDR Therapy Protocols for Early Intervention and Ongoing Stress

This online course will give EMDR clinicians the tools to treat patients who have been through recent, prolonged, repeated, or multiple traumatic events or circumstances. These include:

• Survivors of natural or man-made disasters
• Survivors of external or domestic terrorist attacks
• Victims of constant violence  (e.g., sexual abuse, severe interpersonal violence, criminal violence);
• At-risk personnel (e.g., agency and NGO staff dealing with natural disasters, violent conflicts, rape and domestic violence; first responders/emergency response personnel, military on duty);
• People undergoing life-changing experiences with ongoing traumatic stress or extreme stressors (e.g., refugees, internally displaced persons, long term disasters, ongoing war, prolonged violent conflicts, terrorism, geopolitical crisis);
• People with diverse ongoing trauma histories with similar circumstance in common (e.g., chronic or severe illness; individuals, couples and families with ongoing domestic violence situations that have not been resolved and are still unsafe to some degree)
• People living in continuous traumatic situations (e.g., this related to living in ongoing situations of political violence and national security threats with perpetual exposure to war and terror attacks)
