The stress response is a primitive response system designed to protect us from danger. But some people experience various life events that can reprogram this system to turn on at the wrong time, resulting in recurring stress-based “false alarms” that result in anxiety disorders that can be extremely difficult to treat. A special approach that integrates an understanding of neuroscience, psychotherapy research, and proven therapy techniques can vastly improve treatment outcomes and bring lasting relief for clients stuck in “false alarm” purgatory.
Recent advances in neuroscience have increased our knowledge of how and why people change.Brain-based therapy synthesizes neuroscience, evidence-based treatment, psychotherapy research, and attachment theory into a hybrid therapeutic model.This seminar will examine how outcomes are enhanced by using brain-based therapy approaches with people who have been plagued by autostress disorders. Just as people with autoimmune disorders suffer from attacks on their bodies by their own immune system, people with anxiety suffer attacks by their stress system on their mind/brain/body. Their anxiety becomes an autostress disorder wherein their own stress system no longer protects them from danger, but alerts them to danger when there is none. Clients with anxiety disorders are confused by the symptoms,as well as by different therapists they encounter who ascribe to the various brand name therapies.

**This comprehensive clinical training program confers an EMDRPT-I® post-nominal certification credential through Mind Works Professional Education, Inc. **
Our EMDR programs and associated credentials are exclusively affiliated with and available through Mind Works Professional Education, Inc. and Online CE Credits. EMDR certification is provided by various entities across the US and abroad, but continuing education certification is not regulated nor owned by any one particular education provider, association, or broker. Individual state regulatory authorities solely determine scope, competency, and legal right to practice, as is true for any other therapy modality (CBT, DBT, etc.). To determine the quality and legitimacy of your educational investment, we encourage you to look at the experience and education-level of your trainer, cost of the program, ongoing requirements if there are any, quality-level of the learning platform, and established reputation of the education provider.
This program was originally recorded live as a 5-day core EMDR skills training. Seasoned international EMDR trainer Megan Salar delivers both core theory and skills-based instruction to ensure you have at your fingertips everything you need to know to begin using EMDR effectively with your clients. This course will cover the fundamental practical concepts of EMDR including: the methodology of the EMDR model, the Adaptive Information Processing System, the “3 Prong Approach”, original 8 phase model, resourcing techniques, desensitization, reprocessing, safety and stabilization, and more.

While working with psychological “parts” reached pop status with the advent of Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory, the concept of “parts work” is a concept that resonates with many therapists and clients alike. Consequently, we are starting to see it used in conjunction with many popular therapy approaches., your favorite trauma therapy included!
EMDR is a much more flexible tool than many people think. Beyond its classic applications, it can also be helpful as a tool to address several different common elements of trauma dysfunction, within the classic 8 phase approach.
This course will focus on learning advanced EMDR ego state interventions to work with some of your most challenging clients within EMDR. This training will include elements of parts work, ego state interventions and feeling state theory. You will learn specific interventions to use for complex PTSD, addictive and compulsive disorders, fears, and phobias.

We know from the landmark ACES study that small t and large T trauma especially may increase the prevalence of mental health disorders and overall psychological impairment both during childhood and into adulthood if left untreated. Most experts argue that trauma from attachment rupture and caregiver abuse or neglect can be the most devastating in terms of an overall psychological health prognosis.
The neurobiology of attachment and trauma are closely related and impact child and adolescent brain development. EMDR and Attachment Based Interventions are effective at healing the damage from attachment wounds and traumatic experiences of a child and/or adolescent. Learn specific interventions that will assist you in working with trauma and attachment repair as it applies to children and adolescent populations.

Such a stigma exists around sexual addiction that too few seek help when they need it and not enough trained clinicians are available to clinically treat it as well as validate its existence as a growing mental health concern. In the same vein, there exists too few opportunities to train in this area, possibly driven by the extreme amount of taboo around sexual behavioral disorders.
It is estimated that 12-30 million people within the U.S. suffer with a sexual addictive disorder. There continues to be a stigma in the world today related to addictive sexual behaviors with little to no understanding about the origin and cause of these behaviors. In this course you will learn how sexual and behavioral addictive disorders form, as well as the importance of attachment as an implication for risk and success in treatment. In addition you will learn how to effectively address clients that wrestle with sexual addictive disorders.
