EMDR Training: Integrating EMDR into your Clinical Practice Part 1 & 2
The EMDR training is composed of Parts 1 and 2 and 10 hours of group consultation.

At the end of completing the EMDR training and 10 hours of consultation (prepaid in cost of training), participants will receive a certificate of completion of Basic Training (not the same as EMDR Certified). These 10 hours of consultations are included in the fee of the program ($400 value).

Acute Traumatic Incident Training
Trainer: Larisa A. Traga, LCSW, MAC
We all are challenged from time to time with an acute traumatic incident, e.g., pandemic, assault, divorce, natural disaster, accident, sudden loss of a loved one, etc. While just talking with a ‘supportive ear’ often helps the survivor work through the experience, at times talking is not enough – the survivor is still ‘living it.’ In those situations, more focused interventions may be necessary.
Critical Incident Desensitization Protocol (CIDP) and Acute Traumatic Incident Protocol (A-Tip) utilizes bilateral eye movements to help desensitize the survivor to the traumatic event to the point where talking about it may be of help.
Research has shown that bilateral eye movements rapidly diminish the vividness of images and the strong emotions/physical sensations associated with a traumatic event.
*Target Audience:* Direct staff, school personnel, case workers, medical personnel, social workers/MFT/psychologists, first responders including: military, EMT, ER staff, firefighters, police officers, highway patrol, and anyone who works with victims of crime, natural disasters, assaults, death, accidents and provides crisis intervention services.
Workshop Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Dear Larisa, I am so grateful that we got to train with you at Calm this year. I find myself speaking about MI (or through the lens of it) and how inspired I am to be a part of consultation with your insight. I found your training to be incredibly value adding and insightful. Thank you for your courage to speak and share so much, you're a gem and the field of psychology is far better off with your participation.

Thank you so much for the wonderful training. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was so happy to be a part of it. I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback from our staff! The content was excellent but I also really enjoyed the mix of role playing, slides and videos. It was really interactive and you are an excellent trainer.
