EMDR for panic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Not all patients with Panic Disorder (PD) or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) respond adequately to evidence-based treatments, and relapse rates remain substantial. This highlights the need for well-considered alternative treatment strategies. Growing evidence suggests that EMDR therapy is a promising, effective, and efficient approach for both PD and OCD.

In this webinar, we will review the clinical characteristics of PD and OCD and summarize the current evidence base for EMDR therapy in these conditions. We will also explore treatment strategies that can be particularly useful, including how to build a sound case conceptualization and select appropriate targets to maximize treatment success.

The teaching will be enriched with video demonstrations of real patient treatments, offering participants practical insights into clinical application.

Intended audience: Therapists who have completed the EMDR Basic Training.
