Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapeutic method for healing trauma-based problems. In this comprehensive training, participants will learn how to use EMDR in clinical practice. This training includes lecture, small group practice, and demonstrations in a supportive environment. Because this course provides extensive time for practice, participants learn EMDR firsthand and the power of this transformative therapy.

COVID and Virtual 2021 Basic Training
We are among a select group of EMDR trainings approved by EMDRIA to provide Virtual Trainings. Since, the safety of our community is paramount, and until we are advised by trusted experts that it is safe to resume in-person group training sessions, we will hold our EMDR trainings, via Zoom meetings. Our virtual trainings will provide the same curriculum and rich learning experience we are known for.

Those registering need to be prepared to meet via Zoom with reliable and secure access to a computer or tablet device. We will provide you with detailed guidance and preparation to assure a successful training experience.

Through lecture, hands-on practice, and demonstrations, participants will learn:

  • Construct Protocols and procedures for using EMDR with a variety of clients
  • Demonstrate clinical application of EMDR and EMDR concepts and procedural steps
  • Demonstrate client selection criteria and cautions necessary for safe use of EMDR
  • Utilize Resource development and installation in cases of challenging current life situations, blocked beliefs, or for performance enhancement
  • Identify methods for developing inner resources used for interweaves and client closure.
  • Construct EMDR targets using the bridging technique
  • List how to integrate EMDR into clinical practice with a range of clients and presenting problems
  • Utilize Resource development and installation in cases of challenging current life situations, blocked beliefs, or for performance enhancement

This course is limited to mental-health professionals who are licensed to provide treatment in their states, province or country and are currently treating traumatized clients. This course is approved by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA).
