EMDR CONSULTATION FOR THERAPISTS

• Are you struggling to feel confident in your role as an EMDR therapist?
• Have you recently completed EMDR Basic Training and you’re looking for ongoing support as you grow your EMDR skills?
• Do you have complex trauma cases where you need guidance on how to use EMDR successfully to help your clients?
• Were trained in EMDR a long time ago and need a refresher on how to use it?

I’m happy to provide consultation to EMDR therapists about integrating EMDR into their current practice, assisting clinicians’ complex cases and provide consultation towards EMDR certification with EMDRIA. Consultation is a great way to improve your confidence as an EMDR therapist and get individualized feedback on your cases. Engaging in consultation on clinical work can be a great way to increase confidence, inspiration, creativity, maximize clinical results and prevent vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue.

Single Incident Trauma vs. Complex Trauma in EMDR

Your clients might have complex trauma, attachment issues, deeply rooted negative beliefs and unhealthy coping mechanisms, grief, chronic pain and more complex issues that do not simply get resolved in a few sessions. A single incident trauma can be resolved in a few sessions whereas complex trauma requires a comprehensive plan, including more stabilization and resourcing before starting EMDR processing in phase 4. This is not always addressed in EMDR training and might not be what a client expects when they come to see you for EMDR.

You will learn:

• Case conceptualization Acquire hours towards your EMDR certification
• Knowledge & application of the standard EMDR protocol
• Evaluate client readiness for EMDR Using resource development and installation
• Working with clients with complex trauma and attachment trauma
• Integrating EMDR with parts and ego state work, like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and structural dissociation theory
• Integrating EMDR and somatic interventions like Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Havening Technique
