Learning Format
Online Course
This online course explores Liberation-Based healing practices and invites participants to integrate Liberation-Based healing practices and principles into the delivery of EMDR Therapy. This course uses lecture, case study review and small group activities/discussions. Participants are encouraged to develop an intersectional analysis of their current EMDR Therapy practice. At the conclusion of this online course participants are prepared to use Liberation-Based healing principles throughout the standard 8 Phase Protocol and address culturally specific realities related to the posits of the AIP model; examining impacts of chronic oppression on adaptive information processing. Specific suggestions are presented to apply anti-oppression principles when gathering client history, identifying central themes, exploring cognitions and establishing Phase 2 resources that honor intersections of identity, culture, lived experiences and symptom presentation. The ultimate goal of this presentation is to support EMDR clinicians endeavoring to create a more inclusive and culturally responsive EMDR Therapy practice.
