About Connect's No-Fee EMDR Peer Consultation/Study Groups

Our no-fee EMDR Peer Consultation/Study Groups welcome all clinicians who have attended at least Weekend One of an EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training, so feel free to share the registration link with colleagues.

These meetings are meant as an additional resource for learning and building community. They are not required and do not count toward fulfillment of Basic Consultation or EMDRIA Certification hours.

How to Sign Up

Complete the brief registration. Once you have registered, you'll receive a confirmation email. Check your inbox (and possibly junk/spam folders) for that email, and mark your calendar.

Once you have registered, you are welcome to drop into any meetings throughout the year. No RSVP needed.

How to Prepare for a Meeting

Think about any questions you want to ask, successes you want to share, or anything you might be needing from the group.

All levels are welcome. Don’t be intimidated if you're new or less experienced than others in the group. Most of the time, solutions lie within the basics of AIP Theory, and those standard approaches bear repeating.

If you plan to share a case, please provide enough information for the group to give you relevant feedback. Refrain from sharing identifying information or unnecessary details of trauma.

Be ready to give as much as you get — the beauty of peer consultation is in sharing wisdom, experience, resources, perspectives, and encouragement!
