If a clinician participated in “Level 1” of an EMDRIA approved EMDR Basic Training prior to 2008 (and did not participate in Part 2), said clinician would not consider that therapist to be fully trained in EMDR Therapy. The clinician would need to complete their training in order to practice EMDR Therapy. If a therapist completed both “Level I” and “Level II” EMDR Basic Training prior to 2008, the clinicians would be considered trained in EMDR therapy. After 2008, clinicians must completed EMDR Training Part 1, Part 2, and 10 hours of Group Consultation in order to be trained in EMDR Therapy.
