Refresh your skills and build confidence in practicing EMDR
There are many reasons to do our Refresher training. Maybe you trained on online and want to practice giving EMDR in-person. Or perhaps you want to polish your understanding of the standard Protocol and the concepts of Level 1, without doing the whole course again.
This Refresher consists of 2 parts: A brief pre-recorded overview of central concepts; and the option of one or two 2 days live practice.
Part A
Complete a brief, pre-recorded lecture covering essential concepts. You can access this at your convenience, and complete in your own time. The recording lasts approximately one hour and is a helpful update on the basics of EMDR:
- The AIP model
- How EMDR works
- The 8 Phases
- Optional reading
Part B
Option 1: Attend 2 days live practice covering all 8 phases of EMDR
This option allows you to refresh all the practice skills of the Standard Protocol covered in Level 1 EMDR training. The first day practices skills related to Phases 1-3.
- AIP-informed history taking, case conceptualisation, target selection, and treatment planning
- How EMDR works and what that means in practice
- Strategies to improve reprocessing
- Preparing clients for safe reprocessing
- Target assessment
The second day focuses on Phases 4-8. Participants will practice giving and receiving EMDR under the guidance of our consultants.
- Give and receive EMDR
- How do we know if it’s working?
- Strategies for providing BLS/DAS to maximise processing effectiveness
- Trouble shoot stuck processing
Option 2: Attend the second day only, where you will practice giving and receiving EMDR
Both options include:
- Access to a brief on-line video that refreshes essential concepts
- Slides and handouts
- Scripts and workbook for practice sessions
- Morning tea
