Discovered by Dr. Francine Shapiro, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is one of the most researched and utilized methods in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other forms of human distress connected to trauma. Completing our full basic training approved by the EMDR International Association is a multi-tiered process of which this eight-day training is the most substantial part. This training is offered In-Person in the deluxe format where you can complete Parts I & II as well as the required 10-hours of consultation over three segments.

The Institute for Creative Mindfulness is known for focusing only on the standard EMDR therapy protocol in our initial trainings, with proper attention paid to dynamics like dissociation and complex trauma, for optimal implementation in clinical settings. The mindfulness-informed and trauma-focused thread that runs through all of our instructional offerings makes implementation of standard EMDR therapy with more complex cases possible from the beginning of your EMDR training experience. The training components, which include the ten hours of required consultation, meet all requirements for completing an EMDRIA-approved training in EMDR therapy.

This 8-day training (41 total hours of lecture and practicum and 10-hours of consultation) covers the basics of trauma, the adaptive information processing model, trauma-informed stabilization, and the basic methodology and mechanisms of action used in EMDR Therapy. You will be able to practice EMDR Therapy between each segment and after completion of this deluxe training.

Professionalism: You will show up on time and be fully present for each session, acting in a professional manner. You will reach out to your faculty member or any assistants if any unexpected problems arise. Staying present for in-person trauma training can come with its unique set of challenges, and you agree to take full responsibility for addressing your needs in the area of grounding and self-care during the training. You agree to refrain from all alcohol and illicit drug use during the training and agree to speak with Gisèle Harrison if you anticipate that your impairment due to prescribed medications might pose a problem during the training. The faculty and staff reserve the right to remove trainees at any time if the trainee creates an unsafe or unprofessional environment for you or for other trainees, or for any other reason, at their sole discretion.

If, during the training, a need for an accommodation arises, you are expected to contact your instructor and/or practicum assistant immediately and we will discuss the best possible solution.

Confidentiality: There is no client relationship or other privilege that would create a duty rising to the level of clinical confidentiality in this training setting; however, you are expected to respect the confidentiality of other trainees in the group, and your trainer will explain the importance of confidentiality. Trainees who observe a problem with another trainee are expected to bring the problem to the lead trainer or other training staff. Similarly, if a staff member observes an issue with professionalism, they reserve the right to discuss that issue with the lead trainer.

Preparedness for Doing Your Own Work: Throughout the training, you will be expected to participate in a working practicum experience in the role of therapist, client, and observer. This means that you will be expected to do a small piece of your own, authentic clinical work. If you are currently in counselling or being treated for a mental health condition, it is recommended that you speak with your provider, alerting them that you are participating in the training. If you have received a major mental health diagnosis (past or present), you acknowledge that you are taking this training and engaging in this practicum at your own risk, and agree to alert faculty or training staff before or during the training if any complications arise. You acknowledge that everyone taking part in the practicum experience is new to EMDR therapy and agree to keep the space as safe as possible for all involved. If any problems arise, you agree to address them with faculty or staff members.

A General Note About Approvals

Please let the Institute for Creative Mindfulness know if you need support documentation in any way for these pre or post-program approval applications.

Diversity and Social Justice Scholarship (Up to $500 CAD toward tuition fees)

A small Diversity and Social Justice Scholarship, sponsored personally by Gisèle Harrison, is offered to professional clinicians actively working to promote antiracism, anti-oppression and queer and gender affirming care. Anyone in financial need who can describe how they would use the EMDR training for which they are applying to promote the value of social justice that reflect the following core values may apply:

“I actively promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within trainings, programs, and publications. I acknowledge the importance of anti-racism and anti-oppression work as imperative to trauma-focused care, as is actively pursuing all avenues for ending discrimination towards people with disabilities, and those with mental health and addiction care needs. I consider the fight for and protection of reproductive justice to be a critical part of my anti-oppression endeavors. I devote myself to the purposeful cultivation of a community that is representative of society and the inclusion of individuals of all backgrounds, traditions, and individual differences. I am a feminist, 2SLGBTQA+ affirming therapist/activist committed to elevating the experiences of Black, Indigenous, Latinx/Latine, Asian, and historically excluded voices in whatever we can.

People from all backgrounds may apply for the scholarship, regardless of how you personally identify. I view scholarships as an investment in you and in the future of more conscious communities. As part of your application essay, please address the following items:

What is leading you to training in the chosen program?
How do you envision this EMDR Basic Training program meeting your needs?
Although you may or may not choose to disclose certain aspects of your identity, please tell us a bit about your personal journey and how it led you to this point in your career.
How does your personal journey inform your approach to healing trauma and promoting social justice?
Please tell me more about the population and community that you serve. Who are the types of people that will directly benefit from you receiving this training for which you are applying?
Although you do not have to disclose specific details, please give us a general description of what financial barriers may stand in the way of you taking a training with Gisèle Harrison at the present time.

Preparing Your Essay

Essays must be 1000-2000 words and incorporate the bullet point questions listed above. I will inform those selected within one month of any given training cycle if they can be accommodated. I will follow up with an email if you have not been selected, at this time, to receive a scholarship. You are welcome to apply at a later since my capacity to accommodate and the variety of applicants may fluctuate over time.

The training that you are applying for will have an open application period that will close one month before the training is scheduled to take place. At that time, I will consider the applications that are on file and select recipients for the prospective training. If chosen to receive a scholarship (in the amount of 20% off the tuition), you will be notified on procedures and/or next steps.

The number of partial Equity and Social Justice Scholarships awarded is dependent on enrolment and class size.
