Advanced EMDR Training: Taking Your Therapy Skills to the Next Level

If you’re a therapist who uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, you know how effective it can be in helping clients process and heal from traumatic experiences. However, like any therapy technique, there is always room for improvement and growth. That’s where advanced EMDR training comes in.

Of course, if you’re already an EMDR trained therapist, you know that EMDR therapy was developed in the 1980s by psychologist Francine Shapiro. It involves having the client recall a traumatic event while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, taps, or sounds. The goal of EMDR is to help the client process and reframe their traumatic experience, allowing them to heal and move forward in a healthy way.

The Benefits of Advanced EMDR Training

While basic EMDR training can be effective in helping clients process and heal from traumatic experiences, advanced EMDR training can take your therapy skills to the next level. Here are just a few of the benefits of advanced EMDR training:

1. Improving Your Clinical Skills

Advanced EMDR training can help you fine-tune your clinical skills and become a more effective therapist. You’ll learn advanced techniques for working with complex trauma, dissociation, and other challenging issues. You’ll also learn how to tailor your approach to each individual client, ensuring that they receive the best possible care.

2. Expanding Your Knowledge Base

Advanced EMDR training goes beyond the basics of EMDR therapy and dives deeper into the theory and research behind the technique. You’ll learn about the latest advancements in EMDR therapy, as well as related topics such as neuroscience and attachment theory. This expanded knowledge base will not only help you become a better EMDR therapist but also a more well-rounded and informed clinician.

3. Enhancing Your Professional Credentials

Advanced EMDR training can enhance your professional credentials and help you stand out in a crowded field. By completing advanced EMDR training, you can become certified as an EMDR therapist through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), which is recognized worldwide as the leading organization for EMDR therapy. Certification can also open up new opportunities for professional growth and advancement.

4. Increasing Your Earning Potential

By becoming certified as an EMDR therapist through advanced EMDR training, you may be able to increase your earning potential. Certified EMDR therapists are in high demand, particularly in the field of trauma therapy. They may be able to command higher fees for their services and may also be eligible for reimbursement from insurance companies.
