Learning Format
Online Course
This online course builds on Part 1 by guiding clinicians through the application of the eight phases of EMDR therapy in the context of couples counseling. Participants will learn how to adapt phase-by-phase interventions for relational dynamics, including identifying appropriate relational trauma targets and addressing blocking beliefs that may arise in session. Special attention will be given to managing dysregulation when both partners are present, pacing sessions effectively, and creating treatment plans that balance both individual and dyadic healing goals. The course will also highlight strategies for post-EMDR follow-up that promote integration, repair, and ongoing relational growth. Case examples and interactive discussion will provide opportunities to translate theory into practice, ensuring that participants leave with practical tools they can bring directly into their clinical work with couples.
