Our EMDR Basic training is an EMDRIA approved training which follows standard EMDR protocol guidelines set forth by the EMDR International Association. It meets the following criteria: 40 hours live training which includes 20 hours of content presentation related to basic EMDR skills and 20 hours of practicum which allows participants to role play as client and therapist to put learned skills into action.
Please note that EMDR Basic Training practicum requires that participant experience EMDR as both therapist and client. Therefore, participants will be addressing real life events of their own in part of the practicum. Participants can choose which life events they would like to target and the depth to which it is addressed. Please take self-care into account.
An additional 10 hours of consultation is included which allows trainees to increase knowledge, improve EMDR skills, and safely and effectively integrate the use of EMDR therapy into their clinical setting even after live training.
