Home Study!
Can’t attend an in-person training? I am now offering a 12 credit on-demand home study option, so you can learn at home at your own pace.
This is not a recording of a previous training. It is a carefully created series of videos made specifically for study at home, that 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.
