Other Recommendations

I highly recommend that every EMDR therapist eventually get training in:

  1. A thorough complex trauma and dissociation training. This can be done through the Anchored Relational Training.
  2. An advanced EMDR & Somatic training to add somatic tools to your toolbox. Trainers that are recommended include Sandra Paulsen (Toward an Embodied Self) and Dr. Arielle Schwartz (watch for specific somatic advanced EMDR trainings).
  3. Pre-Verbal EMDR Protocol- “When there are no words”. This can be taken online, by watching a pre-recorded session by Sandra Paulsen, through the Steve Frankel Group.
    *This training option is missing the practicum portion of the training and some video examples, so I highly recommend receiving some consultation after taking the training in order to feel confident in using this in practice. 

With these things, folks will be highly equipped to proceed with a large portion of clients. However, if you have another specific client population, add that to your advanced training list of priorities (perinatal, kids, etc.)
