The eight phases of EMDR therapy provide a framework to understand the treatment process. They act as a map for the EMDR therapist to follow. The names of the eight phases describe what happens during each phase and each phase focuses on a particular aspect of treatment (Hase, 2021).
All eight phases contribute to the overall effect of EMDR therapy, however, not all phases may be used in one EMDR therapy session.

This presentation aims to synthesize clinical and literature-based information on the signs and symptoms of eating disorders, as well as the factors considered in determining appropriate interventions and recommended levels of care. Participants will better understand the experiences of individuals with Eating Disorders, treatment complexities, and learn examples of evidence-based interventions.
