EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has grown faster than any other form of psychotherapy.

It has helped hundreds of thousands of people reduce the intensity of their distress.

EMDR was originally developed to treat Post-Traumatic Disorder (PTSD).

Then therapists and patients found that it is often effective in alleviating the symptoms of many other psychological conditions and challenges.

Today the infamous Eye Movement Technique is often synthesized with mindfulness practices to create a transformative form of meditation that can reduce stress, induce relaxation, and help cultivate a state of clarity creativity.

EMDR has also remained controversial since its first discovery, because despite numerous theories, nobody knows exactly how or why it works.

This course provides a concise yet comprehensive insight into all aspects of EMDR and its applications, and includes videos for use in your own meditation practice.

Please note that the course:

  • Does not provide therapy for those with PTSD

  • Does not provide a clinical training in the application or administering of EMDR
