EMDR therapy offers unique potential for clients who struggle with a range of problem behaviors across a spectrum of severity. This training will feature in-depth coverage of treatment for problematic anger, hostility and related behaviors. Treatment approaches for other types of acting out behavior and ways to target behavioral addictions will also be presented, to include methods for targeting the triggers, urges, and the positive feeling-state associated with compulsive behaviors. Practical topic-related clinical knowledge and strategies from other fields will be integrated within the EMDR therapy model. Participants will learn special EMDR protocols that are effective with these clinical issues. Key points throughout the training will be illuminated with case examples including multiple video clips from actual clinical sessions.
