Level: Moderate to Advanced

An online master class of EMDR Therapists seeking to increase their skills and knowledge in working with complex trauma and dissociation in a mutually supportive and challenging environment. This facilitated process will begin as a book study group with EMDR and Dissociation: The Progressive Approach by Anabel Gonzalez and Delores Mosquera as the text. We will seek to integrate advanced AIP case conceptualization with attachment theory and the theory of structural dissociation.

Participants will receive the benefit of two consultants, Connect EMDR’s Reg Morrow Robinson and/or Bill Brislin, a strengthening of their peer network of therapists working with complex cases, didactic and experiential exercises at each meeting with an opportunity to practice techniques, and an opportunity to integrate theory and methodology into current and future cases. Reg & Bill have facilitated this group since 2015 with each round enhancing the next. Both Reg & Bill have been delivering EMDR therapy virtually to complex clients and offering training virtually utilizing a HIPAA secure platform.

Requirements for Participation

This is a closed group for a minimum of six to a maximum of ten EMDR Therapists, plus two consultants. The group members will have completed basic EMDR training, be EMDRIA Certified Therapists, and currently be treating clients. Prior training in dissociation is not required. Members are committed to attending ten meetings, studying the required text, using an online discussion board, and presenting cases. Presenting cases to each other greatly deepens learning through broad awareness of the complexity and diversity of complex cases, as well as the healing which occurs.
