IMPORTANT: We suggest you complete NDIT Level 1 Training (either live or now available as home study), before completing this NDIT Level 2 Training**

 

Learn advanced NDIT concepts, including a deep, didactic exploration of how to use NDIT to treat more complicated developmental trauma. Dr. Sweeton will build on the foundational concepts of each module taught in NDIT Level 1 training, and work participants toward a more thorough understanding of NDIT Module 5, Trauma Processing, neural integration, and resource creation.

 

NOTE: This is advanced NDIT Level 2 training, which will qualify attendees for credit toward overall NDIT Certification (anticipated to be available beginning 2025).

 

**This is a 12.5-CE noninteractive, self-paced online video course delivered in home study format via an industry-standard online learning platform**

Several evidence-informed approaches to trauma can be immensely helpful to clients. However, many of these therapies are either rigid and overly prescriptive, making it difficult to stay client-centered, or vague, mainly rooted in theory.

Neural Desensitization and Integration Training (NDIT) is a module-based, exposure, trauma-focused approach to therapy for PTSD that integrates elements from EMDR, mindful interbeing mirror therapy, multichannel eye movement integration, prolonged exposure, IFS, and somatic therapies. The main goal of NDIT is to help clients titrate into processing traumatic material, so that flooding and retraumatization are minimized. NDIT is also evidence-informed and flexible, which encourages clinicians to create individualized, client-focused trauma treatment plans that can be easily integrated with other therapies.

Additionally, NDIT focuses on what clients do outside of session, and ways to facilitate progress though homework exercises. This one-day training will introduce you to basic trauma processing skills of NDIT, that you can begin incorporating into your practice right away.

This NDIT Level II training builds on the basic skills taught in the NDIT Level I training, and presents clinicians with more advanced skills, including ways to use NDIT when working with complex trauma. A substantial part of NDIT Level II training focuses on Module 5, Trauma Processing, and the complexity of doing this work with clients. In addition, NDIT Level II training introduces clinicians to neural integration, and the identification and creation of resources.
