Integrating MI and EMDR

Special Topics in MI Series Presents:

Integrating Motivational Interviewing and EMDR

What is MI and EMDR?

Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are both evidence-based practices with strong track records for helping people to grow, change, and heal from traumatic experiences. Both work with the ways that the human brain processes information and responds to experiences of safety and threat to empower people to achieve their goals for living well. In this webinar participants will learn a little bit about both MI & EMDR, as we explore the areas of overlap and connection! It does not presuppose any prior knowledge of either MI or EMDR.

Who Can Register?

Any helping professional interested in learning more about MI and EMDR! Even though the session may be best suited for those who have already learned the basics of Motivational Interviewing, all are welcome to join.

What you will learn in this course:

Identify the basic aspects of MI, EMDR, and how they work to help with trauma recovery
