Course Description:

Understand EMDR Before You Commit to Full Training

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the most widely discussed and researched trauma treatment models—but deciding whether it’s right for you and your clients can feel overwhelming.

This on-demand CE course is designed to give you clarity.

Rather than pushing certification, A Look at EMDR: What Can I Expect? offers a practical, clinician-centered overview of the EMDR model. You’ll explore how EMDR works, the types of clients who may benefit, common interventions used within the model, and—just as importantly—situations in which EMDR may not be the best fit.

This course is ideal for therapists who want to make informed, ethical decisions about incorporating EMDR into their practice without pressure or unnecessary investment.

What You’ll Learn

In this course, you will:

  • Identify at least three common interventions used within the EMDR model

  • Recognize appropriate clinical applications of EMDR and populations who may benefit

  • Differentiate situations where EMDR may not be indicated

  • Understand the training requirements and pathways for advanced EMDR education

  • Gain confidence in discussing EMDR with clients from an informed, ethical standpoint

Who This Course Is For

✔ Therapists curious about EMDR but unsure where to start
✔ Clinicians considering EMDR training and wanting a realistic preview
✔ Mental health professionals working with trauma-exposed populations
