The class was very interesting and full of great information. What I was missing in the initial explanation and process of EMDR was the length of time the client does the eye movement and if you also include that during the installation phase. I have since found that answer with my own research. It may have been in the articles that are linked, but they also contain language for professional therapists and not the average person that may take this course.

By Nathalie Abou Samah on 3/6/2025

I did not receive the (EPA) certificate, which was one of the main reasons I took this course. The content is highly repetitive, with the same information restated instead of building on concepts. There are no proper demonstrations, and instead of providing structured lessons, the course relies heavily on external links, leaving students to research on their own. It feels more like a collection of scattered resources than a thoughtfully designed course. If you're looking for structured guidance and hands-on learning, I would not recommend this course.

By Dianne Grant on 2/19/2025

Yes it was . Learning about the 8 phases of EMDR therapy and the flexibility in applying the technique, is an interesting tool that in would use. Good to know it can be used remotely as well, with virtual clients

By Sherry Green on 1/10/2025

This was better than the others. I was able to observe a bit during the practice sessions. I wish I could have seen real or more realistic mock therapy sessions. However, it did provide some insight into what a session would look like.

By Josephine Rynsaardt on 10/8/2024

The repeated grounding, breathing etc. exercises consolidate the feeling of safety which I recognise from various stages in my own life.

By Sushmita Mazumdar on 9/29/2024

Course is comprehensive. Learned a new concept. I applied the EMDR therapy session for anxiety to my daughter. She feels better.

By Hanoof Alajmi on 7/19/2024

Everything is up to date and all the links work and there are recent studies that were chosen for us and the team is cooperative and responsive

By Eifa Tailor on 7/18/2024
