Combining Schema Therapy with EMDR workshop

The demonstrations, either through Estelle leading the exercise or watching videos, were very helpful. As were the opportunities to try out the exercises.

I found the wealth of new information, the video of an actual client, the sandtray work, the workshop being available online and the small group helpful.

Schema Therapy and EMDR are two very powerful therapies, and these therapies can be combined to create an even more effective way of working with those clients with complex histories.
