EMDR Masterclass Retreats for Personal and Professional Growth

The Center's EMDR Masterclass Training Retreats are five days of in-depth learning, self-exploration, rest and relaxation amongst a community of peers.

EMDR Masterclass Training Retreats are designed for mental health professionals who are looking to deepen their skills in working with clients who have complex clinical presentations and who require a more relational approach. These retreats offer an immersive learning experience where participants are able to develop a more nuanced understanding of EMDR through lectures, in depth case studies, and hands-on practice sessions with the support of The Center’s expert faculty. EMDR Masterclass Training Retreats are always presented by Deany Laliotis, Master Relational EMDR therapist and trainer, who will share her ideas and her clinical work with participants who will also have an opportunity to share their reflections, offer insights and engage in a high-level discourse about the craft of Relational EMDR.

One of the key features of EMDR Masterclass Training Retreats is the opportunity for participants to engage in supervised practice sessions where they can apply what they’re learning in a supportive and supervised retreat environment. These practice sessions allow participants to gain hands-on experience and receive thoughtful guidance to help them enhance their skills as well as gain confidence in using Relational EMDR with their own clients. Additionally, EMDR Masterclass Training Retreats include group discussions and guided case consultation, providing a collaborative learning environment where participants can share their experiences, challenges, and successes with one another.

Overall, EMDR Masterclass Training Retreats provide mental health professionals with a comprehensive and intensive learning experience that can help them become more effective and competent Relational EMDR therapists. By attending these retreats, participants can immerse themselves in AIP theory and practice, while  deepening their understanding and developing their clinical skills as well as participate in a community of lifelong learners. Ultimately, EMDR Masterclass Training Retreats offer community and connection as well as the opportunity to grow and develop both personally and professionally.

In planning these retreats programs, we take great care to ensure that our participants have the opportunity for personal exploration, community connection as well as time and space for a restorative retreat experience. We choose beautiful resort settings that are nestled in nature, with first-class meals and accommodations, activities and amenities and ample time for play and relaxation.

What Can You Expect?

Our EMDR Masterclass Training Retreats are designed as journeys of exploration and discovery, both personal and professional. We journey together and support one another while we work with clients who challenge us to bring our best selves to this work.

When we were planning these retreats, we knew we wanted to create a unique experience of professional development and personal exploration, community connection and restoration for the field's most experienced EMDR therapists. Here is our list of "must-haves:"  

• a resort setting that is nurturing and beautiful with attentive staff, first-class meals and accommodations, activities and amenities for play and relaxation
• a community of peers with shared values, many years of experience and the courage to explore and grow themselves
• time—to build strong ties with others, to embark on a personal journey of self-healing and growth, to relax and restore--body and soul

All our Masterclass training retreats are designed as journeys of discovery, both personal and professional. We explore together what it's like to work with some of the most challenging clients and we come to appreciate how they can also be the most rewarding. We work on ourselves so we can bring our highest Self to work with our clients.
