EMDR Basic Training: Participant Agreement

The undersigned participant acknowledges that they have thoroughly and carefully read, understands, and agrees to the following:

  1. A significant component of the training involves clinicians practicing EMDR and related procedures in small groups under the supervision of the instructor and/or a qualified facilitator. These practice experiences are for training purposes only and not for personal therapy. All participants should be prepared to address disturbing real-life experiences as part of this training program in order to appreciate the subjective experience of EMDR as a client and to provide valid training experiences for other participants. It is not unusual for a target memory to be linked to other, unexpected, disturbing memories or material, which might surface during or after the practice sessions. It is the responsibility of the participant to seek, obtain and pay for appropriate professional assistance if needed. Providing such assistance is not part of the training. Please speak to your physician or therapist about registration in this training if you have a dissociative disorder, PTSD, or other health challenges that could interrupt your participation in this training.
  2. Trauma-related case material presented didactically, in consultation sessions, or on video may be disturbing to those with unresolved personal issues. In submitting their application for training, participants affirm that they have developed appropriate self-soothing and affect/arousal management skills to cope with exposure to this type of material and will be able to employ these skills as necessary during and following EMDR training, practice and consultation sessions.
  3. You are expected to maintain a spirit of cooperation and mutual support for all in the training. The trainer and facilitators will be providing feedback and direction to you on using the basic protocol. You are expected to be open to feedback and learning. Trainees who are disruptive or discriminatory will be asked to leave the training with no refund.
  4. The consultation provided in this training will be with an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. This consultation in no way is a substitute for or provision of Supervision of one’s clinical practice.
  5. This experiential training is intended to prepare clinicians to apply EMDR for clinical purposes only and will not qualify the participant to train others in EMDR. Attempts to train others in EMDR without meeting the standards as defined by the EMDR International Association would represent a violation of professional ethics and standards.
  6. In order to assure confidentiality of personal and clinical information, audio/video recording by participants is not allowed. It is expected that all participants shall maintain the highest ethical standards of confidentiality regarding all personal and clinical information shared by others in this training. Confidentiality shall apply to all consultation sessions and practicum experiences. Specifics may be discussed only with members of the immediate consultation or practice group, the participant’s group consultant, practicum facilitator and trainer.
  7. A Certificate of Completion will be issued to all participants who have licensure and satisfactorily complete the entire training including the 10 consultation hours. The training in its entirety must be completed within one year. Failing to attend parts or the whole of the training you registered for and needing to attend at another time or elsewhere will be at an additional cost.
  8. I agree that when I complete the EMDR Basic training, I will follow the protocol as instructed or I will not call my work EMDR or myself an EMDR Therapist. Modifications to the protocol based on empirical evidence is the only exception.
  9. The trainer reserves the right to withhold or dismiss from training any participant that she deems unable to successfully complete the training for any reason. Trainees that cause disruption or harm to other trainees or staff e.g. discrimination, will be dismissed at the trainer’s discretion without compensation or refund.
  10. Please note that payments for the training are for the dates listed in this brochure. You are required to attend the training in its entirety to receive a certificate of completion. If you do not attend all parts of the training and complete the 10hrs of consultation provided in the training; you will be subject to additional fees to complete the training at another time. No refund will be provided for those who do not complete the training.
  11. All content of this training is copyrighted by Sue Genest and cannot be reproduced or shared with others without the written permission of Sue Genest.
