The Course
This hands-on course explores Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured, evidence-based therapy for resolving distress tied to traumatic or adverse experiences. You’ll learn the eight-phase protocol step by step—from history taking and preparation through desensitization, installation, and closure—with a strong focus on safety, resourcing, readiness, and ethical, culturally responsive practice. We also cover case conceptualization, bilateral stimulation options, and when to adapt or pause treatment.
Through demos, guided practice, and feedback, you’ll build confidence applying EMDR with adults and youth, including complex presentations and telehealth. Expect practical tools: session maps, scripting, documentation tips, and integration strategies with CBT, DBT, and exposure work. Real-world applications span private practice, community mental health, schools, and crisis settings, helping you support clients in processing stuck memories, reducing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and phobias, and strengthening resilience.
What you will learn
I started this course by reverse‑engineering the exact path a beginner needs—clear foundations first, then hands‑on practice, and finally real-world application. You’ll get plain-language explanations of the science behind bilateral stimulation, the core protocol broken into small, doable steps, and guided exercises that build confidence fast. I carefully crafted each module to flow logically, with bite-sized lessons, demos, and printable checklists so you always know what to do next and why. By the end, you’ll feel grounded in the essentials, prepared for common pitfalls, and equipped with a repeatable, safety-first framework you can use right away.
Curriculum
Your instructor
I’m Brady Clegg, the instructor for EMDR Training. My work centers on trauma-informed practice and EMDR education, and I’m committed to translating evidence-based principles into clear, usable skills. I focus on strengthening case conceptualization, resourcing, and safe, structured processing so participants can bring EMDR into their settings with confidence.
This course reflects what I care about most: practical, ethical, and compassionate EMDR. I create a collaborative space with step-by-step guidance, demonstrations, and guided practice, always emphasizing client safety, cultural humility, and real-world application. I’m deeply connected to this work and excited to support you as you build both competence and confidence with EMDR.
