Navigating Spirituality in EMDR Therapy

Recorded Distance Learning Webinar

Self Paced

This 5 hour Self Paced webinar is a recording of a live webinar and will look at the component of Spirituality in the EMDR process.  Specifically using a Christian Perspective for those clients who describe themselves as Christian and are looking for healing from the wounds of trauma in their family, community, and faith tradition.  Following the AIP model of organic and wholistic healing, this training will highlight the often-forgot important component of spirituality in the healing process.  Incorporated in this training are attachment-based treatment as well as spiritual language throughout all 8 phases of EMDR; which help in a more effective and collaborative healing process.   Through each phase of the EMDR process we will be looking at blocks and resources related to the client’s spiritual tradition.  Specific spiritual disciplines will be utilized to teach resourcing throughout the workshop.
