EMDR Training Preparation Guide

By Leave a Comment

Have you signed up for EMDR training and integration with Expert Linda Russell?? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful and effective treatment for trauma and other psychological issues.

Here are some tips and information to help you prepare for your training:

  1. Understand the Basics: Familiarize yourself with the foundational concepts of EMDR. It’s beneficial to read up on how EMDR works, the eight phases of treatment, and its applications.
  2. Review Research: Look at recent studies and clinical trials involving EMDR to understand its efficacy and applications. Knowing the evidence base can help you appreciate the importance and impact of the therapy.
  3. Prepare Emotionally: EMDR training often involves practicing the techniques on each other. Be prepared to engage in the process both as a therapist and as a client, which might bring up personal emotions and memories.
  4. Get Comfortable with the Process: If possible, watch videos or read case studies demonstrating EMDR sessions. This will give you a sense of the flow and nuances of the therapy.
  5. Practice Basic Skills: EMDR relies on solid therapeutic skills like establishing rapport, maintaining a safe environment, and managing distress. Brush up on these core competencies.
  6. Engage with the Community: Join forums or social media groups for EMDR therapists. Connecting with others who have gone through the training can provide support and insights.
  7. Self-Care: Make sure you’re in a good place mentally and emotionally. The training can be intense, and it’s important to practice self-care to manage your well-being throughout the process.
  8. Materials and Resources: Gather any materials recommended by the training program, such as textbooks or articles. Having these resources on hand will be valuable during and after your training.

Best of luck with your EMDR training! It’s a rewarding endeavor that can make a significant difference in the lives of your clients.
