Advanced EMDR Training
EMDR is an amazing tool. Resourcing is used to help people settle, and orient, so that they are in the present and responding to what is happening and not trapped in old patterns. Reprocessing is used to move people out of old traumatic ways of responding by moving clients from rigid to adaptive ways of thinking and interacting. We, at partners, are excited to teach you Advanced classes in using EMDR to address Attachment issues: EFIT, EFT, EFIT and IFS and interwoven with EMDR. We also teach classes in being in Nature, and using nature as a resource. We also teach classes in using EMDR to enhance a felt sense of the Divine, and enhance spirituality. We are constantly developing new classes. We sure hope to see you in some of our classes.
