Basic Training Consultation

I remember what it was like after my first EMDR training.

I had the first weekend of training and my training didn’t come with consultation as a part of training.

I felt like I had been trying to take a drink of water from a firehose. My brain was full of new information. I was excited but confused. And worst of all, I was terrified that I was going to melt somebody’s brain out of their ears if I screwed up EMDR. I had access to this amazing therapy but I was terrified to use it.

Your experience doesn’t have to be like mine!

What needed was a supportive, compassionate, and experienced EMDR consultant to help me solidify the training and allow me to build my confidence in my understanding how to use EMDR.

Good consultation for basic training is the backbone of your EMDR success.

What you get out of consultation

  • We will get you comfortable with the phases of EMDR so that you’re prepared to provide effective and ethical EMDR. We’ll also work on helping you talk about EMDR to clients so that you can help them understand what they’re going through and what to expect.

  • If there’s one thing that’s for certain it’s that not every session goes according to plan. Encountering problems can be discouraging as you’re continuing to get comfortable with providing EMDR therapy. I’ll help you process and problem solve these challenges, provide suggestions for choices in future sessions, and help you develop a toolbox of resources for EMDR therapy.

  • Every therapist has their own experiences, education, and preferences that can all be incorporated into your EMDR style. We will discuss how to utilize your unique qualities to positively impact your EMDR therapy skills.

  • The basic protocol of EMDR works for most clients, sometimes you’ll need to adjust to meet the needs of the client in front of you. In our consultation we will discuss these cases and help you feel confident about making choices in the best interest of your client.
