This course is designed for clinicians committed to anti-oppressive and decolonizing practices, offering a transformative approach to EMDR’s 8-phase standard protocol. Together, we will critically examine how systemic oppression and historical trauma shape therapy participants’ experiences, identities, and healing journeys. Through collaborative learning, we will explore ways to adapt EMDR to honor the wisdom, resilience, and lived realities of those intentionally marginalized by oppressive systems. Each phase will be examined through a liberatory lens, integrating ancestral and culturally grounded healing practices. This interactive training will include small group practicums, large group discussions, and expressive arts-based reflection to deepen learning and embodiment of decolonized therapeutic approaches.

A General Note About Approvals
Please also note that APA-approved sponsors are accepted by many state boards, such as California BBS and major licensure boards within the state of Pennsylvania. In both of these cases, separate paperwork does not need to be filled out. Many state boards also accept out-of-state providers, which is why our Ohio approvals appear on every training. In some states, pre- or post-program approval forms must be sent, and you are responsible for checking into the rules of the licensure board in your state as to what is required. Please let the Institute for Creative Mindfulness know if you need support documentation in any way for these pre or post-program approval applications.
