EMDR Basic Training
What is EMDR Basic Training and is it for me?
EMDR Basic Training is a 7-day training for qualified therapists and mental health professionals.
You need to be already accredited in a core profession to be eligible.
By the end of the training you will be fully trained in EMDR and able to use it with your clients with ongoing supervision.
This training course is accredited by EMDR-Europe and you will be able to work towards accreditation with the EMDR Association UK after completing the training.
What does Naomi’s training cover?
I run EMDR basic training which is divided into three parts. Part 1 is 3 days, Part 2 is 2 days and Part 3 is 2 days. You will need to attend every part of the training to receive the attendance certificate which is necessary if you want to continue to accreditation with the EMDR UK Association.
This training covers everything you need to start using EMDR. It is a practical course which includes case supervision and real life EMDR practice on each other.
It covers:
The 8-phase EMDR protocol.
The evidence base.
Understanding trauma and PTSD.
Formulation and the adaptive information processing model.
Preparation and self-soothing.
The Three-Prongs of EMDR.
Using EMDR beyond PTSD.
Working with complex trauma.
Working with children.
Working with neurodiversity.
Case supervision.
EMDR Practicum.
Training structure
The structure of the training is:
Part 1 – 3 days (Mon-Wed)
Part 2 – 2 days (Mon-Tue)
Part 3 – 2 days (Mon-Tue)
You need to sign up for the whole course.
You need to have access to clients with whom you can use EMDR, as it is a requirement for the course that you practice in between the different parts.
The training uses videos and interactive exercises throughout to help you really make sense of EMDR.
The training is neurodiversity-informed and we understand that people learn differently. We will pace the training to avoid Zoom exhaustion and will vary the way that material is presented to make it easier to absorb. There will be a mixture of didactic teaching, group exercises and practice.
You will get a comprehensive electronic manual and copy of the slides. We will let you know in advance about the timing of lunchtime and breaks.
For the duration of the training you will also get access to our growing library of EMDR refresher videos which cover key topics and which you can watch or listen to on-demand.
