Utilization of EMDR therapy in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine has deeply impacted the population. Roger Solomon has taught EMDR therapy workshops, both live (Summer 2022) and online, and provided EMDR therapy sessions for issues of grief, PTSD, and complex trauma. This workshop will present videos of EMDR sessions showing how EMDR can be used to treat trauma and grief intimes of war. The current war not only results in PTDF, but triggers past unresolved trauma and child trauma/loss. Videos will be shown where EMDR therapy is used to treat: Complex trauma - the current invasion triggered trauma from 2015 [when the war began] that have their root in childhood trauma. Psychoform symptoms - a client that experienced “My hand does not belong to me” Grief – a mother reprocesses the traumatic moment of getting the phone call that her son (a soldier) was killed in a bombing.
