The Aims of the workshop  :  The therapeutic dyad becomes central to the EMDR process as during the ‘dance’ we navigate the delicate waters between past and present, self and other, therapist and client whilst developing a new adaptive relational template for the future.   This workshop day will be a practical learning event to refresh and refine our theoretical knowledge and clinical practice of EMDR therapy.     The art of perfecting the EMDR ‘dance’ between therapist and client to ensure the best therapeutic outcome will be explored in detail.     100% EMDR content.
