About this bundle

The full EMDRIA Approved "Integrating Yoga Therapy Techniques in EMDR" 6.0 CE Series!

Course 1:
Integrating Yoga Therapy Techniques in EMDR: Somatics and Breathwork

The course "Integrating Yoga Therapy Techniques in EMDR: Somatics and Breathwork" introduces a groundbreaking approach to trauma therapy by integrating yoga therapy techniques within the EMDR process. This innovative framework assists EMDR therapists in incorporating somatic and breathwork practices into phases 1, 2, 4, and 6 of therapy, addressing the common challenge of new clients experiencing discomfort early in treatment. By integrating these practices, therapists facilitate the establishment of a felt sense of safety, the development of self-regulation skills, and empower clients to perceive early progress through tailored home practice prescriptions.

Additionally, these techniques foster a strong therapeutic relationship, particularly beneficial when discussing trauma is challenging. Through a blend of Polyvagal and Koshic theory, experiential learning, and practical application, participants will learn how to effectively integrate somatic and breathwork techniques into their EMDR practice, ultimately enhancing clinical outcomes for clients navigating trauma.

Course 2:
Integrating Yoga Therapy Techniques in EMDR: Meditation

The course "Integrating Yoga Therapy Techniques in EMDR: Meditation" introduces a pioneering approach to safely and effectively incorporate meditation into phases 3, 5, and 7 of the EMDR process. It addresses a common challenge experienced by therapists and clients: discomfort during or after EMDR sessions, typically arising when disturbing material emerges in Phase 4. Therapists will learn to effectively address such challenges intrinsic to the EMDR process by strategically integrating specific meditation techniques.

Selected techniques are aimed at fostering cognitive defusion (the ability to witness thoughts with perspective) and enhancing neuroplasticity. Drawing on the neuroscience of meditation, the course provides a rationale for prescribing home meditation for use at home by beginners, especially for highly sensitive trauma clients who may struggle with interoception. By the end, participants will leave with a comprehensive understanding of when, how, and when not to prescribe meditation within the EMDR process through a blend of theory, experiential learning, and practical application.
