BASIC TRAINING SERVICES

CANADIAN BASIC EMDR TRAINING

(EMDRIA-APPROVED)

Add joy, hope and optimism to your clinical practice. Expect exceptional treatment outcomes—see your clients transform their lives. Look forward to going to work every day. Avoid compassion fatigue…

Established in 1999, Fraser Training has an excellent track record for producing confident EMDR clinicians. Under the direction of Barbara Horne MASc, RMFT and EMDRIA-Approved Consultant & Trainer, Fraser Training offers regularly-scheduled and private on-site courses in Eastern and Central Canada.

These small-group trainings (maximum 30) are well recognized in the Canadian EMDR community for their effectiveness in enabling clinicians to immediately incorporate EMDR into their work with clients. In fact, enthusiastic previous course participants have become our biggest source of referrals to the program.

FRASER TRAINING'S BASIC EMDR TRAINING

There are three steps to completing Fraser Training's Basic EMDR Training program:

Part 1: 3½ days (15 didactic hours; 12 practicum hours)
Part 2: 3 days (15 didactic hours; 8 practicum hours)
Consultation Package: 10 hours Consultation (usually group teleconference)

Fraser Training delivers the program over two long weekends at centres throughout Eastern and Central Canada. The consultation hours follow each training weekend, usually in 2-hour group teleconferences with one of our EMDRIA-Approved Consultants.

We also offer privately arranged on-site courses at your agency. The program is expanding into new centres – please contact us if you would like a course either at your site or in your city.

ABOUT THE COURSE

The program is divided into three parts:

  • Part 2 offers techniques and protocols for working with complex PTSD and special populations, and
  • Consultation Hours (10 hours) give you the support you need to successfully integrate EMDR into your practice.

During both parts 1 & 2, you will do personal EMDR work in groups of 2 or 3, closely supervised by EMDRIA-Approved Consultants (on a 10:1 ratio). There are 20 hours of these practicums included in the program.

Following each of our training weekends, you will have what you need to immediately and comfortably begin using EMDR with your clients. Our training groups often go on to form peer-support networks or consultation groups for continued clinical support.
