The material presented and discussed in our courses and training is of an emotionally activating nature. We have no record of significant side effects resulting from the practices of the approach taught in our training events. However, it is possible that unprocessed disturbing memories, emotions, and/or physical sensations may surface during the practice times.
Only individuals capable of taking care of themselves and managing their emotional content should participate in our courses. Our training activities are not intended to provide psychotherapy to participants. They are educational experiences designed to assist participants in the academic understanding and practice of EMDR Psychotherapy.
If you are experiencing post-traumatic symptoms (such as depression, anxiety, weight gain or loss, difficulty sleeping, irritability, substance abuse, interpersonal relationship problems, physical issues, suicidal or homicidal thoughts, among others), you should consult your doctor and/or mental health professional. If necessary, we can also refer you to a mental health professional for follow-up after the training.
