Advanced EMDR CEU
Date course created: April 2020
EMDR has helped thousands of clients rewire their brain for health and recover from traumatic events. This course builds on basic skill-building EMDR courses, teaching clinicians how to work with complex trauma utilizing EMDR. While the original 8-phase model of EMDR can be very helpful to traumatized clients who have suffered single-incident trauma, several modifications and additional techniques are recommended for those with a history of complex trauma. This workshop builds on the original 8-phase model, teaching clinicians attachment-focused EMDR skills that can help even the most traumatized clients.
NOTE: 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 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.

In clinical practice the topics of faith, God, and spirituality are commonly explored, and can be sources of healing and resilience for clients. However, mental health conditions such as PTSD can interfere with clients’ sense of connection to God, or more broadly, their spiritual identity. This seminar teaches attendees the neural bases of God and faith, and cites neuroimaging evidence from neurotheology suggesting that our capacity to connect to a higher power is both wired in the brain, and at the same time not “just in our heads.” Ways to reconnect with God and the spiritual self through brain-based treatment after trauma will be discussed.
**This is a 2.5-CE noninteractive, self-paced online video course delivered in home study format via an industry-standard online learning platform**
Agenda:
00:00 – 00:35: Intro and Basic Neuroscience
00:35 – 01:40: Neuroscience of Trauma; Traumatic Grief
01:40 – 02:30: Spiritual Practices and Impacts
Objectives:
a). After completing this training, participants will be able to name at least one area of the brain involved in prayer, and one area of the brain involved in spiritual communication.
b). After completing this training, participants will be able to discuss how trauma can disrupt clients’ connection to God and/or their spiritual self.
c). After completing this training, participants will be able to state at least one tool that can help clients reconnect with God and/or their spiritual self.
