Belief Focused and Attachment EMDR
May 28-29, 2026
Live Webinar
This is an advanced course designed specifically for trained EMDR therapists and practitioners. This course is designed for EMDR clinicians that serve clients that have experienced trauma and suffer dissociative tendencies and attachment ruptures due to trauma. This training will be provided through lecture, videos, demonstration and practice sessions between participants. At the conclusion of this course participants would have learned how to use restricted processing with emotionally dysregulated clients. This training will focus on the belief focused approach to identifying targets. It will help participants identify and repair attachment injuries with clients that have experienced trauma using ego state therapy, CIPOS, and back of head scale. The participants will learn how to identify and repair childhood attachment injuries. The participants will be taught how to include bilateral stimulation and affect management skills to help clients feel more grounded. There will be special instructions on cultural competency during phase 1 and phase 4.
