Can anyone take this Advance Training?

All participants must have completed an EMDRIA Approved Basic Training in EMDR Therapy to participate in this training.

I am an Associate who wants to register. Does my supervisor need to be EMDR Trained?

If you are not yet licensed, your supervisor need not be trained in EMDR Therapy, but should be supportive of your using EMDR Therapy.

Most of my clients have complex, co-occurring conditions. Will this training help me work with them?

Yes! The EMDR Interweaves curriculum at EETC is organized to address the fact that most clinicians see relatively few cases of single incident trauma and, instead, see mostly complex cases with co-occurring conditions.

As such, this Advanced Training at EETC builds on the knowledge and skills learned in Basic Training to give participants the confidence to successfully utilized EMDR Interweaves during EMDR reprocessing with complex cases.
