Description

Whether you’ve completed an EMDR training course and are looking to take the next step toward Evergreen EMDR-C certification, or are already using EMDR and simply want to sharpen your skills…

this practice day is for you.

When you register, you’ll join certified EMDR Clinician and approved consultant Laura Swinford, LCSW, EMDR-C.

Hundreds of clinicians have counted on Laura to help them translate EMDR theory into confident, skillful clinical practice and describing her as “inspiring” “amazing” and “a rare teacher.”

Over an entire day in a supportive learning environment, she’ll take you and a group of fellow EMDR practitioners through guided practice, case‑based exercises, and real‑world clinical scenarios designed to strengthen your EMDR application.

You’ll break out into smaller groups and have the chance to practice EMDR protocols, rotate roles, and work through common clinical challenges that arise in real sessions.

And throughout the day, you’ll receive live feedback, and coaching that will help you increase fluency, confidence, and clinical decision‑making in your EMDR work.

This live, interactive practice day is designed to help you bridge the gap between training and real‑world clinical use.

But spots are limited to just 30 students…and they’ll fill fast.

So don’t wait.

Register now, save your spot, sharpen your skills and strengthen your EMDR work.
