Home Study!
Can’t attend an in-person training? I am now offering 2 on-demand home study options, so you can learn at home at your own pace.
These are not recordings of a previous trainings. They are carefully videos made specifically for study at home. The 12 hour option–The Power Of The Pain, is a deep dive into the use of EMDR therapy with individuals who struggle with addiction. It includes scripted handouts, group demonstration opportunities, video examples of addiction protocols in use, and interviews with EMDR/Addiction experts who offer advice on how to help clients in a wide variety of treatment settings. The 3 hour option–EMDR, Addiction and Recovery offers a good overview of how to assist this population and provides clear treatment planning suggestions. Both include both CE’s and EMDRIA Credits.
