Workshop Description
This one-day EMDR Refresher is designed for clinicians who have completed basic EMDR training and are looking to sharpen their skills and deepen their clinical confidence. The training offers a comprehensive review of all eight phases of EMDR therapy, with special attention to the EMDR Processing Continuum (EMD, EMDr, and Standard Protocol).
Through a dynamic blend of lecture, live demonstrations with participant volunteers, and interactive group discussion, participants will revisit essential components of EMDR, including case conceptualization, client readiness, Target Sequence Planning, cognitive interweaves, and strategies for working with stuck processing. The workshop will also highlight current EMDR research and practical modifications for working with complex clinical presentations.
Whether you’re returning to EMDR after a break or seeking to refine your practice, this refresher offers an engaging, supportive environment to reconnect with the model and enhance your skills.
Who Should Attend:
This workshop is intended for mental health professionals who have completed an EMDRIA-approved Basic Training in EMDR. It is ideal for clinicians seeking a refresher to strengthen their foundational EMDR skills, improve fidelity to the model, and gain confidence working with complex cases.

Level of Content: Intermediate
Intended audience: Master’s level social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists; psychologists, and other licensed mental health professionals trained in EMDR.

- Identify key factors that determine client readiness for EMDR therapy.
- Describe at least one clinical strategy for implementing each of the eight phases of EMDR therapy.
