Training Description

This is a locally based EMDR Basic Training, led by an experienced, highly rated trainer, Julie Miller.  Julie was personally trained by Dr. Francine Shapiro, the developer of EMDR therapy, to provide these trainings.

This EMDR Institute Regional Basic Training meets the standards set by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) and utilizes the materials of the EMDR Institute. Your EMDR training must be approved by EMDRIA if you would like to pursue certification as an EMDR therapist or if you wish to attend any advanced EMDR training.  Make sure your EMDR therapy training counts!

GOAL OF THE EMDR THERAPY BASIC TRAINING

This experiential training will familiarize participants with a broad spectrum of EMDR therapy applications sufficient for comfortable and efficient use with a wide range patients and situations. Special attention will be given to the therapeutic needs of clients.

Proactive Commitment to Inclusion & Diversity

The EMDR Development Center welcomes trainees and consultees from all cultural, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual and gender orientations.  This is a safe and inclusive learning environment for all trainees and consultees, including Black People, People of Color, Indigenous People, and LGBTQ People. Issues of cultural competence and culturally-based trauma during are addressed at every phase of this professional training.

Training Format

EMDR Institute Basic Training, as required by EMDRIA guidelines, includes 20 hours of lecture, 20 hours of practicum and 10 hours of consultation. The EMDR Development Center uses the EMDR Institute training materials and is a six-day, three 2-day session program extended over approximately three months. It is equivalent to the more traditional Weekends 1 and 2 of EMDR training, with the addition of the 10 hours of required consultation.

Three to four weeks separate the 2-day training sessions. This allows participants to practice what they are learning and begin integrating this model into work with clients.  You only miss three Fridays from work.

Ten (10) hours of consultation is required for completion of EMDR basic training, and supports the participants’ use of EMDR therapy with clients. The required consultation is provided as part of the training, with no additional cost. Some of the consultation takes place during the training weekends with the remainder held in person, online or by phone with the trainer or facilitator, and is scheduled as convenient for the trainer and each group of trainees.

Attendance at all days of training and consultation is required for completion of EMDR Basic Training. There are no opportunities to make up for missed lectures or practice. Any missed consultation sessions must be made up at the participant’s extra expense.

The training group is limited in size to allow for comfortable and personalized learning. Participants will be expected to be prepared for the training by completing the required reading before and during the training.  Participants may have homework assignments between training sessions to begin to implement the eight phases of EMDR therapy.  This is designed to prepare clinicians for the effective, safe and confident use of EMDR therapy in the clinical setting.

REQUIRED READING

Prior to first day of training, participants are required to read the following:

CONSULTATION

As noted above, ten (10) hours of consultation is required for completion of EMDR basic training, and supports the participants’ use of EMDR therapy with clients.

Four (4) hours of the required ten (10) hours of consultation will be conducted during the training hours.  The remaining six (6) hours of consultation will be provided between training weekends, with one 2-hour group after the training, scheduled at the convenience of the trainer and participants.  Any scheduled consultation missed by the participant must be made up at the participant’s own expense.

Basic EMDR training is not complete until all ten (10) hours of consultation are complete.

LIMITED TIME TO COMPLETE TRAINING

The EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) allows a limited time to complete your EMDR Basic Training.

Beginning in 2020, “virtual” EMDR Basic Training must be completed within twelve (12) months of the start of the training.  This includes ALL 50 hours of the training (20 hours of lecture, 20 hours of practicum, and 10 hours of consultation).
