Psychiatrist, President

Dear Friends,

Greetings from EMDR Association, India!! I welcome you all on behalf of my team. I am thankful the Dr. Purandare and Dr. Mehrotra for their untiring efforts and hard work in making EMDR India popular and widespread today.

Many EMDR practitioners from India presented their individual and team work at the 5 rd EMDR Asia conference in Siem Reap, Cambodia 2023 in the month of December 2023. EMDR therapists from India along with others from all over the world made presentations of their research papers, workshops and posters in this Conference. Senior trainers from India successfully curated and co-conducted an Orientation Training Program for facilitators in training. Senior trainers from India collaborated with senior trainers from Asia to carry out trainers-of-training program as a part of capacity building across Asia.

Some of the members conducted orientation lectures/presenting papers in prestigious national conferences, held in the year of 2023-2024. This is done with the aim of creating awareness about EMDR as an effective therapy for a host of mental health issues.

We strongly believe that there is a scope of upscaling our efforts to make EMDR reach Mental Health Professionals in every corner of India. I appeal to all of you to contribute in whatever way you can to disseminate scientific information regarding the efficacy of EMDR.

I am hopeful that more people will join our community and enrich us with their experience and knowledge. We will continue to do trainings regularly in India and help our fellow professionals in Asia to see the flag of EMDR fly high.

We are going to host the next EMDR Asia conference in India (2026) and would keep everyone updated soon!
