Healing the origins of trauma: EMDR psychotherapy for children exposed to violence and abuse

This workshop will review mandated reporting responsibilities for mental health professionals who work with children and adolescents and meet licensing requirements. Trauma reprocessing through the 8 phases of EMDR Therapy ignites the healing of abuse histories that drive the origins of trauma. The ACES research has documented that child abuse histories fuel medical issues in adulthood; therefore, identifying and treating child abuse with EMDR Therapy can return children to a health trajectory for their futures and prevent long term suffering.
