Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is an evidence-based, structured modality for treating trauma and maladaptive memory networks. Through bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements or tapping—clients can process distressing memories, reduce emotional distress, and strengthen adaptive beliefs about themselves and the world.Recognized by major international organizations including WHO, VA/DoD, NICE, and SAMHSA, EMDR Therapy is a recommended treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related disorders. Research supports its effectiveness in treating anxiety, depression, and complex trauma.The goal of this training is to equip clinicians with the skills, knowledge, and support to confidently implement EMDR Therapy. The training includes five full days (40 direct hours) of didactic and experiential learning, followed by 10 hours of consultation to deepen understanding and application.
Training will cover Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory, use of the Standard Protocol for administering EMDR Therapy, and adaptations for special populations. Consultation will focus on reviewing case formulations, providing feedback, and supporting clinicians in integrating EMDR into practice. Participants will explore the cultural origins of bilateral stimulation, cultural considerations in trauma processing, and special considerations when using EMDR Therapy with diverse and minority populations.

This webinar equips clinicians working with neurodivergent adults and neurodiverse couples to support sexual wellbeing with a strengths-first lens. We will outline at least three neurodiversity‑informed factors that commonly shape sexual desire, intimacy, and arousal regulation—such as sensory processing profiles, executive functioning and interoceptive differences, and communication/reciprocity styles—and show how these influence clinical presentation. Participants will then learn practical, sensory‑based and values‑centered interventions (e.g., tailoring sensory environments, co‑creating values‑guided intimacy routines) to foster connection and pleasure. Finally, we will examine and challenge common clinical assumptions that pathologize neurodivergent sexual expression and demonstrate how to reframe treatment plans using an acceptance‑based, strength‑informed approach that honors autonomy, consent, and neurotype. Attendees leave with clear decision points and language they can apply immediately in practice.
