Introduction
Please Note: No prior EMDR 2.0 training is required to benefit from this course, however, previous EMDR training is recommended.
EMDR 2.0 adds deliberate working memory taxation to standard EMDR processing, fundamentally changing how clinicians approach target setup and desensitization. The clinical difference lives in the details: deciding which secondary task to use, how much cognitive load to apply, the pacing of the task, and what to adjust when a client’s distress refuses to move.
This comprehensive course walks through the protocol step-by-step, detailing exactly what the clinician says and does in the live session. Participants will watch full taxation sets demonstrated, learn how to build and stack dual-task loads, and leave with a precise decision sequence for adjusting load in the moment. Rather than abandoning the method when a set stalls, clinicians will gain the confidence to troubleshoot and optimize EMDR 2.0 for lasting trauma recovery.

After completing this training, participants will be able to pace bilateral eye movements against a secondary task while maintaining target focus.
After completing this training, participants will be able to identify clinical markers of insufficient and excessive cognitive load, and adjust dosing within the session.
After completing this training, participants will be able to apply a stepwise decision sequence when distress does not drop across consecutive sets.
