FAQ

Do I need to have prior experience with trauma therapy?

No prior trauma therapy experience is required, though a general understanding of psychotherapy is beneficial. The training will cover trauma concepts, but having experience with trauma clients can enhance your learning.
Can I start using EMDR immediately after Part 1 of the training?

Yes, after completing Part 1 of the training, many professionals start using EMDR with appropriate clients under supervision. However, full confidence in applying EMDR often comes after completing both parts of the training.
Can I call myself EMDR Trained after this course?

Yes! After you complete all 40 hours of lecture and 10 hours of consultation, you can add "EMDR Trained" to your credentials.
Why do I need to attend an EMDRIA approved training?

EMDRIA (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Association) ensures that all approved trainings follow a standardized curriculum. This guarantees that trainees learn the full, eight-phase EMDR protocol as originally developed and researched, ensuring consistent training across different providers.
