Online EMDR Therapy Training Part II with Mike Elliot
Discovered by Dr. Francine Shapiro, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is one of the most researched and utilized methods in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other forms of human distress connected to trauma. Completing our full basic training approved by the EMDR International Association is a multi-tiered process.
This advanced training builds upon the foundational skills developed in EMDR Therapy Part 1, providing participants with deeper understanding and practical application of the full eight-phase EMDR protocol. EMDR Therapy Part 2 focuses on case conceptualization, treatment planning, and the use of EMDR with complex clinical presentations including
attachment trauma, dissociation, grief, chronic pain, and personality disorders.
Through a combination of lecture, live demonstration, and supervised practice sessions, participants will refine their clinical decision-making, strengthen attunement and resourcing strategies, and gain confidence in working with challenging cases. Emphasis will be placed on phase- specific interventions, identifying blocked processing, and integrating EMDR with other therapeutic modalities. Successful completion of this training, in conjunction with EMDR Therapy Part 1 and required consultation hours, meets the educational requirements toward becoming EMDR trained.
Presenter Bio:
Mike Elliot
Lead Facilitator
I am a cognitively oriented therapist. That is a fancy way to say I pay a lot of attention to your thoughts. There are only three things in the universe you can control: your thoughts, your feelings, and your behaviors. It is your thoughts that drive your feelings and behaviors. The better you manage your thoughts, the better you manage your emotions and your life. As a therapist, I help you to unpack your thoughts and help you to change them if they are getting in your way. I also teach you skills to better manage your emotions so you can better manage your life and build a life worth living.
