EMDR Support Network

Welcome to the EMDR Support Network

Training and consultation with experienced and supportive EMDR consultants

A few words about us

EMDR Support Network is proud to offer Basic Training in EMDR. The Basic Training is approved by EMDRIA, the primary professional organization for EMDR therapists. After completing the training and accompanying consultation, a practitioner is an “EMDR Trained” therapist. Therapists who have completed basic training can attend advanced trainings offered by EMDRIA, the EMDR Institute, EMDR Trauma Recovery-HAP, and private trainers.

We are happy to work with individual therapists, private practices, non profit agencies, hospitals and other groups to provide the Basic Training in EMDR. Please contact us to discuss how we can work with you to meet the goal of bringing effective trauma therapy to therapists and clients

What to Bring:

Based on participating in many training events we offer some suggestions. Please bring comfortable clothing and shoes. It is a good idea to bring a sweater/something warm. Please dress for your comfort and well being. Feel free to bring your laptop, pad or device for note taking. As therapists we understand that any one of us might receive urgent communications during the training, however for the best possible learning experience for you, and possibly those around you, broad scale multitasking is quite likely to impair your learning experience.

Bring your business cards. Training is a good place to meet others, network and form informal support groups. Peer support, learning and encouragement is one of the biggest helps to successfully implementing, skill building and sustaining practice with EMDR.
