2-Day Training: EMDR Certificate Course: Rapid, Safe and Proven Skills and Techniques for Your Trauma Treatment Toolbox from Jennifer Sweeton
Watch this 2-Day EMDR Certificate Course recording and discover how this powerful, evidence-based treatment has helped thousands of clients safely and rapidly process their traumas so they can reclaim their lives!
You’ll learn:
- How EMDR can be used to overcome avoidance in clients
- How EMDR techniques can help clients resolve traumatic memories
- When and with which clients EMDR should be used
- How to emphasize safety during sessions
- How the 8-phase model is used in treatment
Learn how EMDR can help clients who desperately need relief from trauma!

- Establish the role of the autonomic nervous system in trauma symptomology.
- Articulate the clinical implications of the freeze response in trauma treatment.
- Characterize the potential neurobiological mechanisms of change in the empirically validated EMDR approach.
- Specify how EMDR techniques can build dual awareness in clients to treat the avoidance that makes trauma treatment challenging.
- Communicate the 8 Phases of the EMDR protocol.
- Determine which clients you should use EMDR with.
- Analyze resourcing strategies from EMDR that clinicians can use to help facilitate the processing of trauma.
- Characterize how EMDR techniques can be used to reinforce and activate positive neural networks.
- Communicate how EMDR can be modified to work with complex/developmental trauma to directly treat traumatic memories.
- Evaluate strategies that can help foster the critical connection between client and therapist in EDMR therapy.
- Articulate the research limitations and potential risks associated with EMDR.
- Establish the order of operations for attachment-based EMDR treatment to resolve relational trauma.
