This is a hands-on clinical skills training for using EMDR and integrating it with your psychotherapy approach. This research-supported top-of-the-line training program features:

• Exceeds EMDRIA's criteria for EMDR basic training.
• No "Parts" or "Levels" -- this is the whole package.
• 52 contact hours over several months to support mastery.
• Two full pre-EMDR days on trauma treatment approach and interventions.
• Small group size (max of 30, most courses smaller).
• Instructor to participant ratio of at least 1:10.
• Text book and other materials included.
• Follow-up group consultation sessions included.
• Competitive cost.
• On-site training option minimizes travel costs for your group.

The training program involves lecture, demonstration, in-class practice, and on-the-job practice with your clients. This is an experiential training, and part of the learning is to practice the interventions with other participants.

Training can be provided at your location. Scheduling is flexible and can be designed to suit the needs of your organization or group.

Objectives:
Participants will be able to:

• Identify clients who are ready for EMDR; and prepare clients for EMDR.
• Conduct an EMDR session.
