This “Virtual Basic EMDR Training” is methodologically rigorous and clinically intensive
All the training and consultations are conducted through ZOOM video conference utilizing Break-Out Rooms & Chat features built into it
All the 10-Days of the training are conducted LIVE from 9 am-6pm (Mountain Time)

Time Commitment
This Training is TEN Day-Long, stretched over a minimum of 12 weeks on 6-7 weekends
Participants are required to implement EMDR therapy with their “client” partner in their Dyads starting the second weekend with concurrent support and consultation lasting through the next ten weeks
This will require additional 4 hours/week to implement all the protocols and procedures of EMDR Therapy in their Dyads- 2 hours as a client and 2 hours as a therapist (40 hours over the course of the training)
Participants need a set-up to conduct virtual EMDR Therapy sessions for the practice sessions during the training and in their concurrent practice between the training sessions. See the YouTube Video below demonstrating the same
