Healing Beyond Medication: EMDR as a Complementary Tool in Medical Practice

Healing Beyond Medication: EMDR as a Complementary Tool in Medical Practice

An MMA-Approved CPD Preview by LCCH Asia in collaboration with Dr Thong Head of Psychiatry, University Malaysia Sabah

1 CPD Hour | Complimentary for Doctors and Healthcare Professionals

Discover the Future of Psychological Health

Every day, doctors meet patients whose distress lies beyond what medication can heal. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) bridges the gap — an evidence-based therapy recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) for effectively addressing trauma, anxiety, and emotional regulation.

This exclusive 1-hour CPD session will help you understand how EMDR complements modern medical practice, especially in psychiatry and psychological medicine.

Why EMDR Matters in Medicine

• Provides a neuro-science approach to trauma resolution.

• Reduces the need for long-term medication in stress-related disorders.

• Enhances recovery in cases involving chronic pain, anxiety, and grief.

• Strengthens the doctor–patient connection through integrative care.
