Our recent EMDR training, "EMDR and Complex Trauma in Children," facilitated by Connect EMDR, brought together dedicated therapists who deepened their understanding of trauma therapy through EMDR—Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
This training provided tools to reduce the intergenerational transmission of trauma by unlocking parental empathy and facilitating positive attachment and bonding. We host community trainings like these to empower clinicians to profoundly impact their clients` lives with modern and innovative techniques. 🌟 @connectemdr
