EMDR can be used in the treatment of depression – unresolved trauma frequently underlies the negative self-beliefs and emotional distress that sustain depressive symptoms. This two-day workshop teaches EMDR practitioners and mental health professionals how to apply the method specifically to depression, using the DeprEnd protocol.
Who the course is for
Completion of EMDR Modules 1 to 3 is required. The workshop is aimed at practitioners who already work with EMDR and want to extend their practice to depressive disorders.
What the workshop covers
- The EMDR DeprEnd protocol: a detailed examination of the eight-phase approach designed specifically for depression
- Hands-on practice: interactive exercises in bilateral stimulation techniques and their application in therapy
- Integrative approaches: strategies for combining EMDR with other therapeutic methods
- Real-life case studies: in-depth discussion of case examples for practical application in clinical settings
The workshop covers the theoretical grounding of EMDR in depression treatment, with emphasis on how the method reframes negative beliefs and supports emotional healing. Participants leave with actionable strategies for implementing EMDR with depressed clients in their own practice.
