As clients, you will select a mildly distressing life experience to focus on and experience the EMDR therapy standard protocol facilitated from fellow training participants.

The participant is responsible for their voice and appearance during this time, knowing that it will be recorded and potentially shared with others.

This means that it’s possible that a participant’s voice, video or image may be seen in the video during the training.
