Certification EMDR 2.0 Practitioner

 

 

EMDR 2.0 

 

Although a wide array of studies has been conducted over the past 20 years on the effects of EMDR therapy, there has been little change from its initial development in 1987 until Francine Shapiro’s death in 2019. Based on recent scientific knowledge, a new, updated, and more efficient version of the standard EMDR therapy, EMDR 2.0, was developed. This is a version of the procedure with several adjustments regarding its implementation. These are based on clinical experience with the treatment of patients with complex PTSD and scientific research on the effects of working memory-taxing tasks on emotionally laden memories. There is emerging evidence showing that EMDR 2.0 can help improve the effectiveness of therapy.
