La guérison, par l’EMDR, des femmes abusées sexuellement durant l’enfance Women healing childhood sexual abuse with EMDR

Do you recognize the signs that a survivor of childhood sexual abuse may not be able to talk about the abuse and yet may be suffering from it? What are some of the risks that a survivor of childhood sexual abuse may encounter when using EMDR? During this workshop you will understand how the brain stores trauma—freeze, fight, flight responses—with an emphasis on dissociation and hypervigilance as coping mechanisms. The second part of the workshop will include practicing with EMDR and alternating techniques such as anchorage, strength-building (Tomlinson, 2008), remembering and healing childhood sexual abuse.
