Advanced Short Course in Trauma, PTSD, and EMDR Therapy

Deepen your understanding of trauma and PTSD, and learn to effectively treat them with EMDR, Parts Work, and Hypnotherapy.

Are you ready to expand your knowledge of trauma, PTSD, and the latest evidence-based treatment methods? Have you considered the physical manifestations of trauma? Do you understand the differences between PTSD and Complex PTSD?

This intensive, specialised training is designed for mental health professionals looking to deepen their understanding of trauma and gain practical tools for treatment.

Our EMDR Therapy Training is a comprehensive programme that equips you to master Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a clinically validated therapy recognised by the World Health Organisation for the treatment of trauma. EMDR has been proven effective for a wide range of mental health conditions, including PTSD, anxiety, phobias, addiction, and complex trauma.

In addition to EMDR, this course will incorporate Parts Work (Alter Egos), a transformative method for working with dissociation and fragmented parts of the self, which is often crucial in trauma therapy. This approach is particularly beneficial for working with clients who have experienced complex trauma or dissociative states.

What You Will Learn:

Over the course of three weekends, you will acquire a deep understanding of the following:

• EMDR Protocols: Learn how to apply the 8-phase EMDR protocol for treating trauma and PTSD effectively.
• Thorough Case Conceptualisation: How to assess and develop tailored treatment plans for each client.
• The Eight Phases of EMDR: A comprehensive breakdown of each phase — exploring the what, why, where, when, and how to use EMDR in therapy.
• Cognitive Interweaves: How and when to apply interweaves to assist client progress, especially when stuck on a particular issue.
• Stabilisation Techniques: Methods for ensuring client safety and emotional regulation throughout the therapy process.
• Resource Installation for Complex Issues: Learn techniques to install positive resources and coping mechanisms for clients dealing with deep-rooted trauma.
• Deviating from the Standard Protocol: Understand when and why it may be appropriate to deviate from the standard EMDR protocols to better meet your client’s needs.
• Live Demos & Case Studies: Watch live demonstrations and analyse real-life case studies to better understand the application of EMDR.
• Practical Application: Practice with fellow participants, receiving feedback and refining your technique.
• Working with Dissociation and Parts: Gain the skills to work with dissociative states and fragmented aspects of the self (alter egos/parts). This includes techniques for identifying, befriending, negotiating, and integrating parts of the self.
• Protocols for Various Mental Health Issues: Learn how to use EMDR and Parts Work for treating anxiety, phobias, addiction, and complex trauma.

This training offers practical, actionable insights, ensuring you are able to integrate EMDR and Parts Work seamlessly into your therapeutic practice. These approaches are crucial for facilitating transformative healing, helping clients overcome even the most deeply entrenched psychological challenges.
