Course Description:
This 6-hour online EMDR training, led by Dr. Wanda Holloway, PsyD, focuses on applying the 8 phases of EMDR Therapy to clients struggling with trauma-related eating disorders and disordered eating symptoms. The course offers practical, trauma-informed strategies for identifying the protective function behind eating disorder behaviors and how to prepare clients for safe and effective EMDR reprocessing.
Participants will learn how to assess current client resources, recognize the hidden strength and survival mechanisms embedded in symptoms, and build a strong foundation for trauma work. Case examples are used throughout to illustrate how to develop a comprehensive EMDR treatment plan tailored to clients with complex trauma and eating-related adaptations.
This training is ideal for clinicians working with eating disorders, complex PTSD, or body-focused trauma. It provides evidence-based interventions to integrate somatic awareness, emotional regulation, and trauma reprocessing within the EMDR framework.
