During each weekend there will be practice sessions of the EMDR trauma protocol, where facilitators will be helping you learn the mechanics of EMDR so that you can do safe and effective trauma treatment with your clients. The facilitators will be guiding and coaching you so that you gain confidence in this trauma therapy. Also, you will be experiencing EMDR yourself as a client so that you can better understand what this work entails. These trainings can be tiring, so it is recommended that you practice good self care throughout the weekend.
