Healthy Hope: EMDR Best Practices for Treating Spiritual Trauma

This course will address how to use EMDR to treat spiritual trauma and religious abuse. This particular type of trauma can affect several areas of life including body image, sexuality, suicidality, self-care and self-worth concepts, domestic violence, dissociation and gender identity. As we explore these topics, the presenter will offer effective interweaves, adaptive information and powerful interventions that can help clients remove blocks to processing and find healing. The course will start with a definition of religious abuse and spiritual trauma and define how to work with this in a trauma-informed way and finish with how to help clients navigate their way back to a healthy spirituality, whatever that means for them.
