Feb 2024\n"I wanted to say I appreciated the material on trauma (Pre stu dy 1: Trauma informed workshop). The course was comprehensive\, rich\, bre athtaking and very gentle and kind in the way it was presented." Jan 2024\ n"Can I just say again how grateful I am for the incredible foundational t raining 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 s upposed to be done. I see and hear some stuff online that 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 d emonstrated to us and man\, does it work. :)  Anyway\, I’m very thankfu l!"  Former Trainee email received Oct. 2020\n"I am sending a quick note to you to express my appreciation for the EMDR &\; LGBTQ+ panel discuss ion you shared in the training portal. Today is the final day I have set a side 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 this training.

(2018). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Th erapy\, Third Edition: Basic Principles\, Protocols\, and Procedures. New York: Guildford Press\; [Available to purchase from Trainer - information in Pre Study or directly from trainer]\n\n2) Go With That Magazine Fall 20 20\, Volume 25\, Issue 3 [EMDR &\; Racial Trauma] and\; [Included in Pr e study Material] https://www.emdria.org/publications-resources/go-with-th at-magazine/\n\n3) Guidelines for Virtual EMDR Therapy (Spring 2020) *[Al so included in Pre Study Material]\n\nEMDRIA Poster for Virtual Therapy\n\ nEMDRIA Guide For Virtual Therapy\nEMDRIA Publications and Resources\nWhy take a training scheduled over a few months?\n\nPaced Learning enhances in tegration of material &\; practice with clients.\n\nLearning the conten t over time allows you to practice each component with clients versus lear ning all the content at once and being launched into the world without fol low up or time to integrate each component. Sue's model aligns with learni ng theory and Zoom fatigue to bring you the best learning format possible. Trainees have commented that this model has been best for integrating the EMDR Basic Training content. Additionally\, learning or counselling onlin e can be fatiguing and thus spanning the content over time reduces fatigue and increases learning integration.\nCanadian EMDRIA Instructor: \nSue G enest\, BA Hons.\, MSc.

In fact\, they not ed many advantages such as quieter break out rooms\; easier to connect onl ine with other trainees for peer support\; lower cost due to no travel\, e ating out\, and accommodation costs.\n\n\nAdditionally\, Learning EMDR onl ine 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 adaptati ons that must be made. Being able to work with clients online doing EMDR a llows access to those who are in isolated communities\, restricted finance s to travel\; and other mental health or trauma related barriers.\n\n\nAll course components must be attended in full to meet EMDRIA standards. To n ot attend any part of the training\, will nullify the certificate of compl etion and will be at the cost of the trainee to take the training at anoth er scheduled time.

If you experience any of these oppressive situations in the training\, ple ase contact Sue Genest immediately.\n\nGrievances and any concerns related to the course\, safety\, and participation can be directed to Sue Genest\ , Course trainer at which time she will address your concern directly.\n\n I\, Sue Genest\, invite all those who have experienced oppression\, discri mination\, sexism\, racism\, gender and orientation phobias in their lives \, and wish to talk about the structure or experience in this EMDR trainin g\, to contact me directly at info@suegenest.ca. I acknowledge that EMDR w as developed within a dominant culture world and researched as such. Altho ugh many are working to add culturally competent components and understand ing\, I recognize it might not meet all your needs and your valuable persp ective is welcomed. If you wish to discuss your perspective or experience I welcome you to contact me at info@suegenest.ca. Additionally\, if you ex perience micro aggressions or anything short of celebrating the diversity of people\, please contact Sue immediately.\n\n\nImportant Notes on PRACTI CA and Training Content:\nAs this training deals with basic training conte nt of EMDR keep these things in mind:\n\n1) You will need clients to pract ice what you are learning. You need clientele who are NOT dealing with com plex trauma and dissociation. If you do not have clients\, you will be una ble to complete the training. Consider contacting an EMDR therapist in you r area to arrange for pro bono or sliding fee scale of non complex clients to practice. We are very fortunate in the EMDR community to be able to ta ke all kinds of advanced trainings on how to use EMDR with complex cases a nd specialty populations once done the basic training. An introduction to this material will be provided in the training. Think of it like taking yo ur first hypnosis course… you wouldn’t expect to practice your new ski lls on the most complex of cases in your practice. EMDR is a very differen t skill set than what you might be used to\, so be sure you have clients y ou can practice with. I would suggest at least 10 + clients for the best i ntegration of material and 8 as the minimum to complete consultation. Of c ourse\, the more you practice the better your integration of the material. \n\n2) Some of the content of the course and practica can be triggering to clinicians with unresolved childhood trauma\; dissociative disorders\, an d those who have never done counselling before esp. EMDR. You will find it really helpful for your learning to seek out an EMDR therapist in your ar ea 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 emotions in positiv e ways). You might consider some of my team to support your learning and p ersonal development. We know as EMDR experts that doing our own personal w ork advances our attunement\, integration of material\, and artfulness usi ng EMDR with our clients.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a comprehensive training that will require your focus and time to practice between sessions.\n\nIn orde r to create a therapeutic environment for others in practica and for your self\, consider these tips:\n\n- respect\, kindness\, empathy are required in training practica in the same way you would expect in therapy. Respect for your colleagues\, facilitators\, and trainer are required. To do othe rwise will risk the completion of your training. Those who are discriminat ory or disruptive will be asked to leave the training without refund. All diversity of humanity is welcome in this training.\n\n- Get prior support from supervisors and/or agencies to practice EMDR therapy between sessions .\n\n- Start preparing your clients for EMDR by teaching them self regula tion skills\; how to shift states\, how to self sooth\, and affect accepta nce and being with emotion. Time spent building these skills will allow yo u to deepen into your own learning of EMDR with clients and start reproces sing sooner. If you need to expand your skills in this area to teach clien ts\, consider using a DBT exercise book for ideas.\n\n- Put time aside be fore training to complete the Pre Study. It is essential that you understa nd trauma and dissociation to apply EMDR and have basic clinical skills su ch as using a wide variety of history taking approaches and psychometrics for determining if your client has experienced complex trauma and has a di ssociative structure.\n\n- Put time aside between training sessions to pr actice EMDR and to complete the consultation portion of your training.\n\n I look forward to meeting you at the Online LIVE EMDR Basic Training. The Meet n Greet to casually get to know your instructor and colleagues while also learning how to work with bilateral stimulation online via zoom will be covered. Zoom Links for meetings will be provided closer to the trainin g.\n\n\nTo understand Time Zone changes google to ensure you get the right time for training.
