I am excited to offer this two-part live online (Zoom) training series designed for EMDR Trained clinicians who want to integrate EMDR into couples therapy.
Completion of EMDR Basic Training is required.
This introductory workshop provides clinicians with foundational knowledge for integrating EMDR therapy into couples counseling. Participants will examine how trauma impacts both the brain and intimate relationships, explore the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, and review contraindications and precautions specific to couples. Emphasis will be placed on conducting a thorough couples history interview and individual intake sessions. Participants will also be introduced to resourcing strategies designed to support regulation and co-regulation within the couple. This session prepares clinicians for more advanced application of EMDR in couples work.
This advanced workshop builds on Part 1 by guiding clinicians through the application of EMDR therapy with couples across the eight phases. Participants will learn how to adapt phase-by-phase interventions to the relational context, identify appropriate relational trauma targets, and manage blocking beliefs that arise in session. Special focus will be given to managing dysregulation in a couple’s presence, pacing sessions, and integrating post-EMDR follow-up strategies that promote relational healing. Case examples and interactive discussion will support the translation of theory into practice.
