Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy can make a significant difference when traditional talk therapy doesn’t provide the needed breakthrough for someone struggling with trauma. It helps clients safely process distressing memories by integrating them into their larger, adaptive memory network, alleviating immediate symptoms and fostering long-term healing.

This EMDRIA-approved, 5-day intensive training includes updated information and the latest application techniques, allowing you to offer a more comprehensive and targeted approach to trauma treatment and greatly improve client outcomes. Plus, you’ll learn how to customize treatments for diverse client scenarios, including children, couples, grief, pain, phobias, addictions, and dissociation.

This course also includes 10 hours of post-training consultation, so you can fine-tune your understanding and skills with personalized guidance. Seating is limited, so register early. Interest-free payment plan available.

*Early Bird registration deadline varies between event locations. See website for details.
