Los Angeles District Meeting

NEW LOCATION:

Tower Cancer Research Foundation
8767 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 401 | Beverly Hills, CA 90211

Presenter: Kay Simmeth, LMFT

Description: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidenced-based practice that has been used effectively to treat PTSD, trauma and other psychiatric disorders based on the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model.

We will explore what happens to the brain during a traumatic incident and how EMDR therapy promotes the resolution of traumatic memories during reprocessing using the eight-phase protocol to facilitate healing. We will also examine the latest research behind EMDR therapy.

Learning Objectives:

Understand EMDR therapy and the Adaptive Information Processing model.
Examine EMDR as it relates to the neurobiology of trauma.
Discuss EMDR as an evidenced-based practice for the treatment of trauma and other psychiatric disorders.
