Description

Register for this 3-Day intensive EMDR recording that will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to use EMDR safely and effectively with your trauma clients.  

Through lecture, live and videotaped demonstrations, and experiential exercises, this training will provide participants with an in-depth knowledge of trauma theory, principles, diagnosis, and treatment. 

Linda will guide you through EMDR’s clinical applications for the traumatic stress disorders – those included in and excluded from the DSM-5®’s newly-created classification, Trauma and Stressor-related Disorders: 

  • Acute Trauma Disorder 

  • Simple PTSD 

  • Complex PTSD 

  • PTSD Dissociative Subtype 

  • PTSD Preschool Subtype 

  • Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD) 

  • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) 

For all but single-incident trauma, the tri-phasic model is today’s state-of-the-art treatment approach. You will learn each phase of the treatment including its therapeutic goals and the clinical tools to reach those goals. Most importantly, you will: 

  1. Learn EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Skills 

  1. Practice using these new tools in a safe and supervised environment 

  1. Learn this dynamic, comprehensive training equipped to improve outcomes with traumatized clients
