  • Mornings - Learning EMDR Therapy

    Mornings of training are dedicated to lecture-style instruction to build your EMDR Therapy foundation. You will learn about the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model, the 8 therapeutic phases of EMDR, and the 3-pronged approach encompassing the past, present and future.

    EMDR Training manuals and slide decks are provided (pdf) in an online learning platform.

    Dr. Penner Hutton is an engaging speaker who loves to share her knowledge of EMDR Therapy.

    Part 1 & 2 on Zoom 9:00AM-12:30PM (CST)

  • Afternoons - Practice EMDR!

    Afternoons are dedicated to practicum experiences in breakout rooms. You will work in groups of 3 or 4 to practice skills and experience EMDR in action! You will cycle through the roles of therapist, client, and observer to enhance your learning and application of skills. Be prepared to experience EMDR from a client perspective. Assisting faculty members guide and support you as you practice (EMDRIA Consultants or Consultants-in-Training). There will be opportunities for small and large group debriefs, discussions, and questions. We are here to support you as you learn!

    Part 1 & 2 on Zoom 1:30PM-6:00PM (CST)

  • Group Consultations!

    Four Group Consultations (2.5 hours each) are interspersed throughout training to support you as you implement EMDR Therapy into your clinical practice. You will present cases, ask questions, and receive clarification. There is so much learning that comes from discussion with peers and an experienced EMDRIA approved EMDR Consultant or Consultant-in-Training. Group sessions will be scheduled during Part 1 of training.

    One session between Parts 1 & 2 (2.5 hrs)

    Three sessions following Part 2 (2.5 hrs each)
