Make EMDR more adaptable and effective with skills and strategies you won't find anywhere else

EMDR is a known game-changer for trauma… but it's not always easy.

The material is tough. Intense reactions can disrupt sessions. Clients can disengage or even dissociate.

Targeting these pain points to deliver on the profound healing EMDR promises often requires advanced skills and strategies…

…but you won't find these solutions in standard EMDR instruction.

That's where our all-new online EMDR training comes in.

Because with it you get a powerful toolkit of over 20 easy-to-use strategies from DBT, ACT, and IFS therapy, hand-selected by 3 acclaimed trainers to work in perfect harmony with EMDR…

…and make it feel more usable and adaptable than ever before — even in the face of avoidance, intense reactions, inner conflicts, dissociation, and other treatment obstacles.

These strategies require no prior experience and have helped thousands of therapists like you make their sessions more productive, reduce defensiveness in clients, foster greater relational healing, resolve blockages in complex trauma cases, and much more!

So don't wait.

This course is your invitation to turn EMDR trauma treatment challenges into opportunities for breakthroughs.

Join Certified EMDR therapist Tara Travia, PhD, as she shares how you can make trauma resolution gentler and more focused on behavior change outside of sessions with her hand-picked set of top ACT skills!

You'll walk away ready to:

Develop client histories that seamlessly guide them through all 8 phases
