​This live online workshop will provide attendees with an introduction to the treatment of complex developmental trauma and dissociation. A highly interactive and engaging training, participants will learn via live demonstrations, case studies, videos, interactive activities, and didactic discussion. Attendees will be provided an introduction to structural dissociation theory as well as specific "how-to" methods for addressing complex trauma.

This Healing The Whole Self Part I live online workshop will provide attendees with an introduction to the treatment of complex developmental trauma and dissociation. A highly interactive and engaging training, participants will learn via live demonstrations, case studies, videos, interactive activities, and didactic discussion. Attendees will be provided an introduction to structural dissociation theory as well as specific "how-to" methods for addressing complex trauma.

Healing the Whole Self Part I is divided into two 3.5-hour online events, with time between both days, to support your integration of the material in your work with clients. 

Whether a seasoned EMDR therapist or one who is recently trained, we all know that clients with complex developmental trauma disorders don’t necessarily “fit the mold.” Perhaps we find ourselves feeling “stuck” with these challenging cases, wondering why the EMDR Standard Protocol isn’t “working,” baffled by why a client destabilizes and needs extra clinical support. It is not that the EMDR standard protocol doesn’t “work” it is actually that with complex trauma, there is a dissociative process in place that must be treated first. 

Clinicians will experience themselves as being “held” via the structure of the curriculum. As a result, clinicians can further conceptualize their clinical cases, integrate and apply what is learned through the lens of Structural Dissociation Theory and EMDR therapy, and deepen their understanding of structural dissociation in a supportive community of shared learning.

Note: This HWS Part I class is also a prerequisite to the ever-popular, small online event Healing the Whole Self Part II that occurs 3-4x a year, whereby participants apply what is learned to personal material in a practicum based format, providing opportunities for in-depth live experiential learning and consultation.  

Please note that this course does and will sell out very quickly. Early registration, which includes submission of all documentation and payment, is strongly recommended. 

Note: This EMDR Training will have a class size of 9-15 max participants.

This two-day practicum provides EMDR therapists with the opportunity to now increase their confidence and skills in working with Structural Dissociation Theory and apply what has been taught in HWS Part 1, including the application of Fraser’s Dissociative Table /Meeting Place as it relates to EMDR Therapy and working with complex trauma.

​Topics covered will include, but are not limited to: dissociation and the therapeutic relationship, identifying dissociative phobias, mindful language when working with dissociative "parts," the contribution of therapists' cognitive errors on clinical impasses, the significance of "getting caught in trance logic," as well as additional lecture material, didactic discussions, and experiential activities, including extensive Fraser's Dissociative Table/Meeting Place practicums that build on what was explained in the Healing the Whole Self Part 1.​ ​

The goal is to facilitate the demonstration and practice of the advanced stabilization techniques as provided in the course.

Intended Audience: Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers Skill Level – Intermediate to Advanced Note: Healing the Whole Self Part I (either completed online or in person) is a prerequisite to attending this course.

Those who have already attended the Part 1 HWS Workshop do not have to retake it, unless they want to complete this as a refresher, without CEs, and at a discounted rate.

EquiLateral Equine-Assisted EMDR Course (15 EMDRIA Credits)

EquiLateral: The Equine-Assisted EMDR Protocol was created by Sarah Jenkins, who premiered the equine-assisted approach to EMDR therapy. Equine-Assisted EMDR (EA-EMDR) involves partnering with horses as sentient beings and in a manner that is supported by training, qualifications, ethical practice, and a keen awareness of client and animal welfare.

EMDR therapists trained in the protocol mindfully incorporate equine-assisted interactions within the eight-phased, three-pronged, standard EMDR protocol to become Equine-Assisted EMDR.
