EMDR Basic Training Part 2 with Bill White, LCSW – InPerson
EMDR is based on the concept that the brain is able to heal from emotional wounds through information processing. EMDR is an approach to psychotherapy that has continued to offer countless individuals the opportunity to achieve therapeutic goals and give them the tools for leading happier lives which are no longer influenced by past disturbing events. However, when one experiences events under traumatic or repeated disturbing circumstances, this information processing system can break down resulting in pathology. EMDR helps jumpstart that information processing which promotes the client’s ability to resolve the experience and learn from it.
This course is taught in 2 parts. Students will complete 50 hours of education while learning EMDR.
Part 1 consists of 10 hours of lecture, 10 hours of supervised practice exercises, and 5 hours of consultation. Part 2 consists of the same number of hours for a total of 50 hours.
Part 2 20 Hours of Training
The goal of the second part is to review the basic EMDR protocols and procedures taught in part 1. In addition, the second part will develop methods of treating more complex cases. This includes the development of treatment plans for complex cases, dynamics of trauma, and use of the cognitive interweave.
