Overview

The APS EMDR Special Interest Group is excited to announce the commencement of EMDR Group Consultations. These sessions are designed to support both therapists undertaking basic training (non-accreditation) as well as those working towards EMDR practitioner accreditation.

As an interest group, we are committed to providing our members with affordable access to high-quality consultation from experienced EMDR consultants. This upcoming group consultation will serve as a trial, with the intention of establishing ongoing regular groups facilitated by a variety of experienced consultants.

In line with EMDRAA guidelines, each group will be limited to a maximum of 8 participants to ensure a quality and supportive learning environment.

We look forward to supporting your EMDR journey through these collaborative and enriching consultation sessions.

Please prepare a clinical case or question to bring to the consultation session.

*If the event is full, please email the EM ([email protected]) your interest to attend if a position becomes available.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this group consultation, participants will be able to:

• Enhance their clinical insight and direction in working with EMDR cases through feedback and discussion.
• Deepen their theoretical and practical understanding of EMDR therapy within a supportive and collaborative peer environment.
• Build confidence and competence in the application of EMDR across a range of clinical presentations.
