Exploring Transference and Countertransference in EMDR

For EMDR-Trained Therapists

Join us for our next Elevate EMDR Community Session—an engaging space for EMDR-trained therapists to connect, learn, and reflect together.

In this session, we’ll dive into Transference and Countertransference in EMDR Therapy (Piedfort-Marin, Journal of EMDR Practice and Research), exploring how therapists’ own conscious and unconscious reactions can shape the EMDR process. Together, we’ll discuss the role of mirror neurons in empathy and attunement, and take a fresh look at action systems in the therapeutic context.

Whether you’re newly trained or a seasoned EMDR therapist, you’ll find this session designed with your growth in mind. Bring your reflections, curiosities, and clinical insights. We’ll move between large group discussion and smaller breakout rooms, offering opportunities to share strategies, exchange experiences, and build meaningful connections within the EMDR community.

This is a space to:

• Consult informally on EMDR cases and challenges

• Explore creative approaches and techniques

• Network with therapists across Canada and beyond

• Strengthen your confidence and community in EMDR practice

Come as you are—no prep required. Just bring your presence, case examples, and your questions.
