Dear Friends,

Greetings from EMDR Association, India!! I welcome you all on behalf of my team. This is the time of the year to take stock of what have we achieved in the year 2019-2020, and map the road ahead for our association.

Many EMDR practitioners from India presented their individual and team work, at the 4^rd EMDR Asia conference in Bangkok, Thailand, in the month of January 2020. We presented research papers and posters in this conference.  Some of the members have taken up the task of conducting orientation lectures/presenting papers in prestigious national conferences, held in the year of 2019-2020. This is done with the aim of creating awareness about EMDR as effective therapy for host of mental health issues.

We strongly believe that there is a need to upscale our efforts to reach out to as many stakeholders as possible. I appeal to all of you to contribute in whatever way you can to disseminate scientific information regarding efficacy of EMDR.

In 2020-2021, especially during the trying times of Covid19 pandemic, let us work more actively to reach out to as many individuals or groups that we can and extend helping hand and provide healing touch.
