You’ve completed EMDR training -you know the framework- now it’s time to move beyond the basics. This workshop combines two trainings to help you elevate your practice and meet your clients at a deeper level of healing.

Part 1: A Deep Dive Into the 8 Phases of EMDR - refine and adapt each phase with clarity and precision.
Part 2: It’s All About the Interweaves - learn how to skillfully apply interweaves to keep clients moving when they get stuck.

Together, these trainings will strengthen both your structure and flexibility, giving you the confidence to handle resistance, complex trauma, and challenging sessions.
