Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy can make a significant difference when traditional talk therapy doesn’t provide the needed breakthrough for someone struggling with trauma. It helps clients safely process distressing memories by integrating them into their larger, adaptive memory network, alleviating immediate symptoms and fostering long-term healing.

This EMDRIA-approved, 5-day intensive training includes updated information and the latest application techniques, allowing you to offer a more comprehensive and targeted approach to trauma treatment and greatly improve client outcomes. Plus, you’ll learn how to customize treatments for diverse client scenarios, including children, couples, grief, pain, phobias, addictions, and dissociation.

This course also includes 10 hours of post-training consultation, so you can fine-tune your understanding and skills with personalized guidance. Seating is limited, so register early. Interest-free payment plan available.

*Early Bird registration deadline varies between event locations. See website for details.

Lifespan Integration Level 1 Training – September 13 & 14, 2024

Lifespan Integration Level 1 Training

Lifespan integration (LI) is a form of psychotherapy that works directly with memory and attachment systems in a variety of ways to help move a client’s nervous system towards regulation. LI protocols allow a person to experience the integration of memories across the lifespan which supports movement towards self compassion, self understanding and cohesion. Lifespan Integration was developed by Peggy Pace in 2002 to treat trauma and dissociation. LI is utilized worldwide and is a powerful blend of trauma clearing, parts work and memory reconsolidation.

Level 1 focuses on memory, trauma, and attachment theory as well as an introduction of the construction and use of the client’s timeline. By the end of this training, there will be an understanding of the stages of therapy and protocols to use in the therapeutic process. Protocols covered in level 1 training include Baseline protocol, with an intended use of integration of single or repetitive trauma, PTSD protocol, Relationship protocol with a variation for Violent Relationships, and Timeline from Explicit Memory for trauma clearing.
