Somatic EMDR in Practice: Neuroscience-Based Tools to Accelerate Healing

Perhaps you know EMDR as the leading clinical treatment for PTSD. Perhaps you also know EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. What many don't know is EMDR accurately provides clients with the most clinically effective tapping, breathing and eye movement actions to help clients get their traumatized brains back "online" faster than most cognitive therapies. Adding other somatic movements from yoga, chi gong and mindfulness to EMDR creates a safe "container" for even the most difficult to treat traumas. In this workshop, Joshua Isaac Smith will guide you through Somatic EMDR methods he uses in his Advanced EMDR system that accelerate results for clients. The secret is understanding the neuroscience of trauma and why "actions speak louder than words" in helping someone heal their troubling memories from the past.

• Learn 4 of the latest neuroscience discoveries and 4 more Somatic EMDR strategies (to add to your somatic toolbox) that can improve your treatment outcomes when working with trauma or anxiety.
