Sin cerely\, thank you." February 2022\n"Thank you for the comprehensive train ing. It changed my view of the world. Trauma isn't a scary six-letter word anymore.  I so appreciate your teaching style\, and I'm looking forward to the June Session. Feb 2024\n"I wanted to say I appreciated the material on trauma (Pre study 1: Trauma informed workshop). The course was compreh ensive\, rich\, breathtaking and very gentle and kind in the way it was pr esented." Jan 2024\n"Can I just say again how grateful I am for the incred ible foundational training you gave me. 90% of my practice is EMDR now and I’m confident in what I’m doing because I know that you taught it to me the way it’s supposed to be done. I see and hear some stuff online th at really makes me shake my head. I’m glad I learned from a “purist” \, if that’s what it would be called. I follow the protocol exactly how you taught us and demonstrated to us and man\, does it work. :)  Anyway\, I’m very thankful!"  Former Trainee email received Oct. 2020\n"I am se nding a quick note to you to express my appreciation for the EMDR &\; L GBTQ+ panel discussion you shared in the training portal. Today is the fin al day I have set aside to work on the pre-study and text and I found the video so helpful in terms of my own safety and stabilization going into th is training. The panel was FANTASTIC and really helped me to feel that I p icked the right training." March 2023\n"Thank you for bringing EMDR to my practice. I am finding it is a game-changer with clients.” Dec. 2020\n\n "Thanks\, Sue for a wonderful day of learning. I’m very thankful to have taken this course immediately after basic training so that I can be effec tive in my work with clients." January 2021\n\n Appreciated how approacha ble you are. Your encouragement and continual check ins made it possible f or me to ask questions.\n You seem to anticipate what questions/stuck poi nts we might have at certain points in the training and mentioned some pos sible questions and this normalized the learning and prompted some questio ns for me and others\n I appreciate the repeat messaging about trusting t he system but also the importance of strong clinical skills and knowledge and experience and decision making\n Strengths based respectful discussio ns of people and their concerns\n Great handouts. You are very generous w ith materials."\n\n"Sue herself is a master at EMDR and holding space for the client.

Sue's model aligns with learning theory and Zoom fatigue to bring you the best learnin g format possible. Trainees have commented that this model has been best f or integrating the EMDR Basic Training content. Additionally\, learning or counselling online can be fatiguing and thus spanning the content over ti me reduces fatigue and increases learning integration.\nCanadian EMDRIA In structor: \nSue Genest\, BA Hons.\, MSc.

This $600 non-refundable deposit can be applied to future basic trainings if cancellation is more than a month fr om the start of the training.

In fact\, they noted many advantages such as quieter break out rooms\; eas ier to connect online with other trainees for peer support\; lower cost du e to no travel\, eating out\, and accommodation costs.\n\n\nAdditionally\, Learning EMDR online means you can do EMDR online AND in person where as learning in person does not teach you how to do EMDR online which has very specific adaptations that must be made. Being able to work with clients o nline doing EMDR allows access to those who are in isolated communities\, restricted finances to travel\; and other mental health or trauma related barriers.\n\n\nAll course components must be attended in full to meet EMDR IA standards. To not attend any part of the training\, will nullify the ce rtificate of completion and will be at the cost of the trainee to take the training at another scheduled time. No refunds will be issued. All other situations will be handled on a case-by-case basis.\n\nAll diversity of hu manity is welcome in this training. Discrimination\, racism\, oppression\, harassment\, or any other disruption or unprofessional behavior will not be tolerated. You are expected to adhere to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and your Association/ Colleges Ethical and Professional Stan dards of Conduct. If you experience any of these oppressive situations in the training\, please contact Sue Genest immediately.\n\nGrievances and an y concerns related to the course\, safety\, and participation can be direc ted to Sue Genest\, Course trainer at which time she will address your con cern directly.\n\nI\, Sue Genest\, invite all those who have experienced o ppression\, discrimination\, sexism\, racism\, gender and orientation phob ias in their lives\, and wish to talk about the structure or experience in this EMDR training\, to contact me directly at info@suegenest.ca. I ackno wledge that EMDR was developed within a dominant culture world and researc hed as such. Although many are working to add culturally competent compone nts and understanding\, I recognize it might not meet all your needs and y our valuable perspective is welcomed. If you wish to discuss your perspect ive or experience I welcome you to contact me at info@suegenest.ca. Additi onally\, if you experience micro aggressions or anything short of celebrat ing the diversity of people\, please contact Sue immediately.\n\n\nImporta nt Notes on PRACTICA and Training Content:\nAs this training deals with ba sic training content of EMDR keep these things in mind:\n\n1) You will nee d clients to practice what you are learning. You need clientele who are NO T dealing with complex trauma and dissociation. If you do not have clients \, you will be unable to complete the training. Consider contacting an EMD R therapist in your area to arrange for pro bono or sliding fee scale of n on complex clients to practice. We are very fortunate in the EMDR communit y to be able to take all kinds of advanced trainings on how to use EMDR wi th complex cases and specialty populations once done the basic training. A n introduction to this material will be provided in the training. Think of it like taking your first hypnosis course… you wouldn’t expect to pra ctice your new skills on the most complex of cases in your practice. EMDR is a very different skill set than what you might be used to\, so be sure you have clients you can practice with. I would suggest at least 10 + clie nts for the best integration of material and 8 as the minimum to complete consultation. Of course\, the more you practice the better your integratio n of the material.\n\n2) Some of the content of the course and practica ca n be triggering to clinicians with unresolved childhood trauma\; dissociat ive disorders\, and those who have never done counselling before esp. EMDR . You will find it really helpful for your learning to seek out an EMDR th erapist in your area to try out a few sessions to see what it is like. It will be imperative you can self-regulate in practica\, i.e. shift states\, self sooth\, and have affect acceptance (know how to work with your own e motions in positive ways). You might consider some of my team to support y our learning and personal development. We know as EMDR experts that doing our own personal work advances our attunement\, integration of material\, and artfulness using EMDR with our clients.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a comprehen sive training that will require your focus and time to practice between se ssions.\n\nIn order to create a therapeutic environment for others in prac tica and for your self\, consider these tips:\n\n- respect\, kindness\, em pathy are required in training practica in the same way you would expect i n therapy. Respect for your colleagues\, facilitators\, and trainer are re quired. To do otherwise will risk the completion of your training. Those w ho are discriminatory or disruptive will be asked to leave the training wi thout refund. All diversity of humanity is welcome in this training.\n\n- Get prior support from supervisors and/or agencies to practice EMDR therap y between sessions.\n\n- Start preparing your clients for EMDR by teachin g them self regulation skills\; how to shift states\, how to self sooth\, and affect acceptance and being with emotion. Time spent building these sk ills will allow you to deepen into your own learning of EMDR with clients and start reprocessing sooner. If you need to expand your skills in this a rea to teach clients\, consider using a DBT exercise book for ideas.\n\n-  Put time aside before training to complete the Pre Study. It is essentia l that you understand trauma and dissociation to apply EMDR and have basic clinical skills such as using a wide variety of history taking approaches and psychometrics for determining if your client has experienced complex trauma and has a dissociative structure.\n\n- Put time aside between trai ning sessions to practice EMDR and to complete the consultation portion of your training.\n\nI look forward to meeting you at the Online LIVE EMDR B asic Training. The Meet n Greet to casually get to know your instructor an d colleagues while also learning how to work with bilateral stimulation on line via zoom will be covered. Zoom Links for meetings will be provided cl oser to the training.\n\n\nTo understand Time Zone changes google to ensur e you get the right time for training. This training is in Eastern time ET (Toronto time zone).\n\n\n"Thanks so much for all of the incredible suppo rt\, guidance\, and resources in this EMDR training.
