IFS therapy and EMDR have quickly become popular options for therapists looking for a structured approach that delivers rapid results with minimal side effects.
And when you combine them, you have a complete framework to facilitate complex trauma treatment - treatment that creates the sense of coherence and wholeness that clients need to heal and grow.
IFS therapy to befriend your client’s traumatized protector parts and involve them in setting treatment pace, removing blocks to progress, and boosting self-compassion
...and EMDR to bring trauma memories to resolution, decreasing body stress, negative beliefs, and distressing emotions.
Now, with this FREE trauma certification training featuring sought-after trainer Dr. Daphne Fatter, you’ll learn how to integrate these two powerful approaches – no previous training in IFS therapy or EMDR needed!
Whether you’re new to these approaches or have been working in either or both for some time, you’ll walk away with practical skills and techniques to use right away, including:✔ Assessment strategies that won’t overwhelm your client
✔ Tools to gently resolve trauma-related inner conflicts
✔ Resourcing strategies to empower clients for reprocessing
✔ And much more!
PLUS when you upgrade your registration, you’ll be eligible to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) through Evergreen Certifications * – and we’ll cover your certification fee (value of $99.99)! We’ll also send you your very own copy of Daphne’s new book, Integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) into EMDR Therapy: The Step-By-Step Guide to Complex Trauma Recovery.

to create a powerful healing experience for your clients!
When you work with trauma, the stakes are incredibly high.
And intense, conflicting
feelings are the norm – not the exception.
Part of me loves my parents, even though they abused me.
The
perpetrator is to blame, but I feel partly responsible for what happened.
If you don't know how to help your clients resolve these conflicts, they risk getting stuck, grappling with symptoms that don't get better, and worse – feeling like they’re so broken that they’ve failed therapy.
This FREE trauma certification training combines the power of IFS therapy and EMDR to give you the confidence you need to work with the toughest trauma cases right away – no matter if you don’t have much previous experience with these approaches.

Clients with complex trauma often struggle with avoidance, dissociation, and increased symptoms during EMDR, making it difficult to support their sense of control and safety across treatment. In these cases, slower is faster, but how do you slow things down when EMDR is designed as an accelerated approach?
By integrating IFS into EMDR, which enhances your ability to target symptoms in a more attuned and scaffolded way. That is what you’ll learn in this step-by-step guide, which is intended not only for EMDR and IFS clinicians, but for any provider who serves clients with a trauma history. Featuring case examples, handouts, worksheets, therapist scripts, and more, you’ll learn how to:
- Use parts mapping to support stabilization and treatment planning in phase 1
- Befriend protector parts in phase 2 and receive their consent to proceed with processing
- Move through blocked reprocessing by restoring the Self-to-part connection in phases 3 and 4
- Invite parts to “try on” positive qualities and cognitions in phase 5
- Use somatic approaches to befriend parts in the body during phase 6
- Facilitate inclusion and closure for protective parts during phase 7
- Respect the client’s system before returning to or beginning a new target in phase 8
Trauma treatment is not one size fits all. Some client parts will be more accessible with IFS, while others will be more easily discovered through EMDR. By using both approaches, you can better tailor trauma treatment for your clients, meeting them exactly where they (and their internal systems) are.
