Integrating EMDR with Couples Work: A Practical Approach to Resourcing, Attachment, and Connection

Participants will receive CE credit for 1 hour, in accordance with accreditation guidelines. The course also includes an additional 30 minutes of extended learning to deepen your skills and provide extra value.

This concise, practice-oriented training provides EMDR-trained clinicians with effective tools for integrating EMDR principles into couples’ therapy. With an emphasis on Phase 2 (Preparation), the course explores how to develop and strengthen shared resourcing skills to support nervous system regulation, increase a felt sense of safety and connection, as well as, fostering emotional intimacy between partners.

Using an attachment-informed and trauma-sensitive integrative approach, participants will learn how to incorporate bilateral stimulation (BLS), co-regulation techniques, and mindfulness-based interventions that help couples move towards connection. This training is ideal for clinicians working with couples impacted by trauma, attachment wounds, or emotional dysregulation.
