Remote EMDR Training Course

Many clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, and hopeless, suffering from traumas that they can’t seem to overcome. Many therapists are unprepared to deal with the intersectional complexity of these traumas. Shock trauma, developmental trauma, vicarious trauma, intergenerational trauma, community trauma, racial and gender identity trauma can impact clients mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually in debilitating ways.

Often therapists are left feeling frustrated, alone, and helpless with the magnitude of what their clients are experiencing, and their clients are not seeing the lasting change and transformation they are longing for. Just having clients talk about their traumas isn’t enough and can sometimes be more harmful. Because trauma is experienced somatically, intersectionally, and generationally, therapists must learn how to approach healing with all of this in mind.

One solution for therapists is integrating a somatic approach into their practices with EMDR therapy. EMDR therapy is an evidence-based, integrative, somatic, client-centered psychotherapeutic modality. It is a recommended treatment of choice by several international mental health organizations for healing PTSD and trauma. Millions of people worldwide have transformed the negative impact of traumatic events by experiencing the powerful benefits of EMDR therapy.

The Maiberger Institute provides safe and professional EMDR training courses to teach clinicians how to help their clients heal from these complex traumas. Therapists will leave this training seeing and experiencing how EMDR therapy saves lives.


Learn EMDR Therapy to See Real Change in Your Clients Today

As trauma heals and integrates, clients increase their confidence, feel more at peace and increase their sense of joy. Clients become more resilient, flexible, and adaptive in their sense of self and how they interact with their families and communities, impacting generations to come. The Maiberger Institute Remote EMDR Training course meets or exceeds standard EMDR basic training programs to prepare therapists for integrating EMDR therapy into their practice.  Therapists are often surprised after completing this course that real change is possible for their clients!


Comprehensive Remote EMDR Training Course

The Maiberger Institute Remote EMDR Trainings are a 50-hour comprehensive program including:

  • Two 3-days live Remote EMDR Training sessions
  • Five 2-hour live Remote EMDR Group Consultation sessions
  • Training size is limited to 27 participants to ensure that each participant receives individual attention.

 

This complete Remote EMDR Training program was personally created by Barb Maiberger, the founder and CE Program Administrator for the Maiberger Institute. Barb has personally conducted over a hundred live EMDR training courses, and personally trained over a thousand clinicians to integrate EMDR therapy into their practices. Her proprietary approach has pioneered the further integration of somatic interventions into EMDR therapy. She is the author of “Remote Together: A Therapist’s Guide to Cultivating a Sustainable Practice,” “EMDR Essentials: A Guide for Clients and Therapists“, and co-author of “EMDR Therapy and Somatic Psychology: Interventions to Enhance Embodiment in Trauma Treatment.

Each live Remote EMDR Training course is either taught by Barb Maiberger or by a Maiberger Institute Certified EMDR Trainer/Instructor-in-Training personally trained by Barb Maiberger. The Maiberger Institute’s Certified EMDR Trainers, Consultants, and Training Facilitators have decades of experience helping clinicians integrate this powerful somatic psychotherapeutic modality into their practices. Clinicians receive individualized feedback and support in learning the skills needed to use EMDR therapy successfully from these experts in the field.

The Remote EMDR Training sessions and the remote Group Consultations are also facilitated by highly skilled EMDR Facilitators and Consultants, all whom have worked with the Maiberger Institute for years.

“I’ve been a licensed therapist for twenty-four years and have given and attended trainings and conferences around the world. Without question, the clinical training I’ve received at the Maiberger Institute has been by far the most compelling and the most applicable to date.”Michael John Cusick, Licensed Professional Counselor, Author & CEO, Restoring the Soul.
