Advanced Applications of EMDR, Somatic and Parts Work

This 10-week advanced training series is designed for trauma clinicians who want to refine their integrative practice across EMDR, somatic approaches, and parts work frameworks. Each two-hour session blends didactic learning, experiential practice, and case consultation to help you navigate complex trauma cases with nuance and confidence.

Participants will deepen their ability to:

  • Conceptualize cases using structural dissociation and parts mapping

  • Decide when to lead with somatic, EMDR, or parts-based interventions

  • Extend resourcing and stabilization using somatic and relational techniques

  • Work safely with protectors and exiles during EMDR processing

  • Use advanced interweaves and integration strategies for meaning-making and self-coherence

This group is best suited for clinicians already trained in EMDR with working knowledge of somatic therapy approaches and structural dissociation theory.
