Dear all,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to EMDR Asia.

In our collective pursuit of mental health and well-being, EMDR Asia serves as a platform for sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and exploring innovative approaches in the field of EMDR therapy. The theme “Building Hope” reflects our commitment to instilling optimism, resilience, and healing through the effective application of EMDR therapy.
In the times to come, we would like to present a series of Standard and Specialty training in EMDR therapy approach across Asia in collaboration with the regional association. This would invite engaging discussions, enlightening presentations, and invaluable networking opportunities. As we delve into the various applications of EMDR therapy, let us inspire and empower one another to make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.

Message by the Founder President
Welcome to EMDR Asia!
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR as it is called in short, is a path breaking tool in psychotherapy. Discovered in 1987 by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the United States of America, this method of healing has proven effective in the treatment of traumatic stress disorders and the effects of disturbing life events. Based on the evidence of controlled research, the American Psychiatric Association and the Department of Veterans Affairs and Defense recommend EMDR as an effective treatment of trauma. Most international health guidelines recommend EMDR as the first line of treatment in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Most countries in the Americas and Europe have national EMDR associations to train, supervise, standardize and upgrade EMDR practitioners.
Asia has been prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, tsunami and other man made disasters such as war, deprivation, various forms of abuse, neglect and betrayal for many years now. All these traumatic events cause cascades of stress and human misery. Based on the Adaptive Information Processing model, EMDR has been used extensively to heal such victims throughout Asia. EMDR is now being taught and utilized in many Asian countries. It is now our initiative to bring together all the Asian EMDR practitioners under the united umbrella of EMDR ASIA. This ongoing endeavour needs your support and patronage. Please check this website for the latest update on EMDR ASIA.
