Earlier in my career, EMDR became my go-to therapy to quickly guide clients toward lasting transformation. And for many clients, I saw tremendous success with this modality.
But with my complex trauma cases, the interventions were being blocked — and I was finding it difficult to do deeper trauma processing work.
It wasn't until I started using IFS therapy, which gave me language around Self and Parts, that I was able to go deeper with my healing efforts. With IFS therapy, I discovered how to get the permission I needed from my client's traumatized parts…
… and that made EMDR so much more effective because my clients felt the sense of safety and grounding that makes lasting transformation possible.
Over the years, I've developed a detailed roadmap of exactly how to apply EMDR and IFS therapy as one integrated therapy approach …
…and I'm so excited to teach you exactly how you can use IFS-Informed EMDR to provide your clients with transformative results.
This is the most highly requested training program your colleagues have been asking me for …
…and I can't wait for you to join me for this groundbreaking experience!
With warmth and light,
Stacy Ruse, LPC
