Begin Your EMDR Training Journey
EMDRIA-accredited training programs from Personal Transformation Institute — expand your clinical toolkit and transform lives through EMDR therapy.
Why Get Trained in EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the most effective, evidence-based therapies available today. Recognized by the World Health Organization, the American Psychological Association, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, EMDR therapy helps clients process trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and other distressing experiences faster than traditional talk therapy.
As demand for EMDR-trained therapists continues to grow, adding this powerful modality to your clinical toolkit can set your practice apart, attract more clients, and lead to better outcomes for the people you serve.
What to Expect from EMDR Training
EMDR training provides you with a comprehensive, structured approach to therapy that integrates eight distinct phases of treatment. Through Personal Transformation Institute (PTI), you will learn:
- Adaptive Information Processing — the theoretical model behind EMDR
- Eight-Phase Protocol — from history-taking to reevaluation
- Bilateral Stimulation Techniques — eye movements, tapping, and auditory methods
- Live Practicum Experience — supervised practice with real case consultation
- Specialized Protocols — for phobias, grief, performance anxiety, and more
