dc.description.abstractSouth Asians experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to various sociocultural factors that are unique to their worldview. Both yoga and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy are evidence-based interventions that are used for the treatment of traumatic stress symptoms. With both interventions holding their unique style of modality, a culturally-sensitive approach can provide a wider understanding of the effective usability of both interventions by combining these two interventions. Culturally-sensitive therapeutic interventions may impact the utilization of mental health services among South Asians living in Canada. Limited research has examined the use of specific PTSD interventions among South Asians that combine the Western therapeutic approach of EMDR with yoga intervention. The capstone project addresses the following research question: How can yoga enhance EMDR in the treatment of PTSD in South Asians? The aim of the capstone project is to critically analyze the literature within the following sections: literature review, implications to counselling, ethical considerations, fundamental next steps for research, recommendations to practicing counselling, and conclusion. The author’s personal relationship to the capstone research and learning development is also reflected.
