Connect Training & Consulting Presents:

The Basics & Beyond EMDR Refresher Course (Live, Virtual Training)

Saturday November 16, 2024 & Sunday November 17, 2024

10 AM - 5 PM Eastern Time Each Day

EMDRIA-Approved Trainer: Claire Mauer

Level: Intermediate

Connect's most-requested EMDR course is back, with exciting updates!

Over the past six years, attendees have loved the Back to Basics Refresher Course and actually requested MORE TIME to get clear on the basics while gaining confidence with commonly needed modifications for more complex presentations and tricky situations. In response, we've expanded the Refresher to two days to create a stress-free, in-depth, and highly interactive learning experience.

We will keep things moving with a mix of:

lecture
videos
live demonstration
in-depth case discussion
guided practicum
and lots of Q&A!

This EMDR Refresher will clear the cobwebs, increase your fidelity to the model, and keep you current with updates to the EMDR Basic Training curriculum and modifications for telehealth. We'll also discuss how to approach all phases of EMDR Therapy with more cultural awareness and competence.

Six reasons to invest in Connect's Basics and Beyond EMDR Refresher Course:

You took the training years ago and are unaware of updates to the EMDRIA-Approved Curriculum or the world of EMDR Therapy.
You felt unsure of how to use EMDR via telehealth during Covid.
You had inadequate opportunities to practice and have gotten "rusty."
You developed a "creative" approach, strayed from the Standard Protocol, and lost fidelity to the model.
You got stuck with tough clients early on and lost confidence.
You have clients who need immediate symptom reduction or more containment during reprocessing.

Detailed Course Overview & Learning Objectives

This workshop is for any clinician who has received the Basic Training in EMDR through an EMDRIA-Approved Training. The workshop will review and update information on AIP case conceptualization, the 8 phases and three prongs of EMDR Therapy, developing Target Sequencing Plans for a variety of clinical presentation and settings, and strategies for successful reprocessing, including how to work with blocking beliefs and cognitive interweaves.

Participants will also have an opportunity to improve their skills related to Resourcing, Floatbacks, Affect Scans, and EMD. Practicum experiences will help further consolidate these concepts.

Day One Learning Objectives:

List goals and procedures for all eight phases and 3 prongs of EMDR therapy.
Apply modifications for successfully conducting EMDR Therapy via telehealth.
Predict client readiness for trauma reprocessing and correct pacing of treatment using the 20Q Client Readiness Checklist.
Correctly assess choice points in history taking and treatment planning, including when to use the Affect Scan or Float Back and how to organize information around different types of symptom clusters.
Use multiple Phase 2 interventions, including Resource Development and Installation, to build clients’ capacity for self-regulation and trauma processing.
Describe the three Informational Plateaus and how to generate appropriate Negative and Positive Cognitions in the Assessment Phase.

Day Two Learning Objectives:

Design treatment plans for a variety of client presentations, practice settings, and situational constraints.
Identify clients’ internal and external resources; tracking expansion of adaptive networks in preparation phase and throughout therapy.
List two strategies for uncovering and resolving blocking beliefs.
Use at least four simple but effective strategies to keep processing moving when clients become “blocked” or “stuck” during reprocessing phases.
