Mornings - The foundation of EMDR Therapy

Mornings of training offer lecture-style instruction to build a solid foundation in EMDR therapy. You'll be introduced to the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model, the 8 phases of EMDR therapy, and the 3-pronged approach focusing on past, present, and future. In Part 2, treatment planning expands to cover special topics, including anxiety, pain, addictions, and recent events.

EMDR training manuals and slide decks are provided in PDF format via an online learning platform.

Dr. Penner Hutton is a dynamic speaker who brings enthusiasm to EMDR therapy training, guiding participants with care and clarity.

Afternoons - Activities to put information into practice!

Afternoons are dedicated to live-instruction and activities in breakout rooms, where you’ll work in groups of 3 or 4 to engage in practical EMDR exercises and observe EMDR in action. You'll rotate through the roles of therapist, client, and observer to practice different aspects of the therapy.

Faculty members (EMDRIA Consultants or Consultants-in-Training) will guide and support you throughout, ensuring a rich, hands-on experience.

Interactivity: Small and large group debriefs, discussions, and Q&A sessions will further enrich your experience.

We’re here to support you every step of the way.
