Course Curriculum



Dear future EMDR-trained therapist,

If you're considering EMDR Basic Training, you're on the brink of diving into something truly impactful for your practice. I'm Jackie Flynn, here to guide you through mastering EMDR therapy, starting with a focus on adults. It's the cornerstone for any therapist eager to spark real transformation.

This training is your starting line. In this EMDRIA-approved course, we're focused on building a solid foundation in EMDR, equipping you with the skills and confidence to bring about meaningful change. While my heart also lies in working with kids, embracing the outdoors, and leading EMDR intensives, this course marks the beginning. It sets the stage for everything that follows, which you can explore in advanced trainings after completing this basic training.

Finishing this basic course opens up a world of possibilities for further specialization. Whether it's delving into EMDR for children, exploring intensives, or merging therapy with nature, there's much more to learn. And here's a perk – completing this course with me earns you a lifetime 10% discount on any of my future advanced training sessions, provided I am the sole trainer.

If you’re all in for adding a transformative approach to your therapeutic repertoire, you’re in the right place. My goal is to make this experience as enriching and straightforward as possible for you.

I hope to see you there, ready to embark on this journey to harness the full potential of EMDR in your practice.

Take care,

Jackie Flynn, EdS, LMHC-S, RPT-S
