EMDR as a tool in change management

In 2008-2009, many professionals and executives faced various organizational pressures ranging from pay slash, contrived performance appraisals, layoffs and work overload due to the recession which impacted many traumatically. It affected the morale, motivation and basic sense of security which was previously part of the work culture in Eastern countries especially in India. EMDR is an effective tool for organizations to manage dramatic change without adversely impacting the individual and consequently the organization. Participants will learn: 1. What constitutes work trauma both direct and vicarious and how to identify its impact, 2. The impact of such work trauma on the clinical and non clinical parameters affecting performance, efficiency and well being. 3. How to use EMDR efficiently with work trauma. 4. Adapting EMDR to the different setting where work trauma clients may present themselves in the Eastern context.
