EMDR Basic Training

This is the complete EMDR Basic Training approved by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). Participants will learn the EMDR psychotherapy approach, the basic eight-phase EMDR protocol, the Adaptive Information Processing Model, and how to incorporate EMDR into your practice. This course will consist of didactic presentations, live demonstrations, supervised practicum, and case consultations. Participants must attend the full training and attend five 2-hour consultation groups to receive a certificate of completion in EMDR Basic Training. Five 2-hour consultation groups will be provided by the trainer, included in the cost of the training. If other dates or times are needed to make up for the consultation hours, attendees can either schedule separate consultation with the trainer (or any EMDRIA approved Consultant with prior approval of the trainer) at the attendees cost. Approval of partial programs will not be granted.

Notice of Disclosure 

All participants will be asked to participate in practicum exercises that may be heavily emotionally charged to you throughout the training. This means you will be working on personal issues choosing targets that are appropriate for the setting. This allows 3 important things:

1. Personal experience using EMDR Therapy under real conditions;

2. Clinical support during practicums to better understand each section being taught and feel more prepared to use it with clients; and

3. Personal work on unresolved issues with colleagues in a safe learning environment. However, this is not the environment to treat your own unresolved major traumas. Carrie Ann Cherep-Carr will support and guide individual attendees throughout the 6 days. All participants will be paired to practice newly learned material. This demands confidentiality from all participants.
