A Transformational Approach to Healing Complex Trauma
The Center’s three-day Relational EMDR Therapy℠ Masterclass training offers highly skilled and experienced EMDR psychotherapists the opportunity to continue their personal and professional growth simultaneously. The training takes a deep dive into the practice of Relational EMDR Therapy℠ and offers a unique opportunity for strengthening your capacity to be fully present and attuned with your most challenging clients. The goal of the Relational EMDR Therapy℠ Masterclass training sessions is empowering you to bring your best self to the work of co-navigating previously uncharted emotional territory between "self and other" with your clients.
What Can You Expect from Masterclass Trainings?
A Relational EMDR Therapy℠ Masterclass is an advanced training program designed for mental health professionals who are looking to deepen their understanding and practice of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This masterclass goes beyond the basic EMDR training and focuses on the relational aspects of therapy, emphasizing the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship with clients in order to facilitate healing and resolution of trauma.
In a Relational EMDR Therapy℠ Masterclass, participants learn about the theoretical framework of relational therapy and how it can be integrated into the EMDR approach. They also learn about the different phases of EMDR therapy and how to apply relational techniques at each stage of the process. Through lectures, case studies, and experiential exercises, participants deepen their understanding of how trauma impacts relationships and how to effectively work with clients who have experienced complex trauma.
By attending a Relational EMDR Therapy℠ Masterclass, mental health professionals can enhance their skills and knowledge in working with clients who have experienced trauma and build their confidence in utilizing EMDR therapy in a relational context. This advanced training program provides a unique opportunity for professionals to refine their therapeutic abilities and expand their repertoire of tools and techniques for working with clients who have experienced trauma. Ultimately, a Relational EMDR Therapy℠ Masterclass equips participants with the necessary skills to provide effective and compassionate care to those in need of trauma-focused therapy.
The “Self” of the therapist plays an integral role in Relational EMDR Therapy. That’s why a portion of each Masterclass training is set aside for individual work where you focus on a challenge from your current practice. You’ll be doing this work in safe space and the company of select peers who share your values, years of experience and the courage to explore and grow themselves.
We work on ourselves so we can bring our Highest Self to the journey with our clients. The question we must pose as relational EMDR therapists isn't "Is the client ready," but "Are WE ready to embark on this journey together?" A Masterclass training will prepare you to answer, "Yes, WE ARE ready."
