Online Psychedelics and EMDR Therapy Training with Adam O'Brien

October 6, 2021

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm Eastern Time


Current trends in modern psychotherapy are revisiting the ancient use of psychedelics to help people heal. This advanced topics training provides therapists trained in EMDR with the basic information to navigate current trends in the use of psychedelics. Trends include: micro-dosing, macro-dosing, therapeutic use in a variety of treatments, and trauma resolution. Targeting psychedelic traumas with EMDR has its complications as well and so an innovative case conceptualization (Addiction as Dissociation) and provides an excellent opportunity to help clients integrate adaptive and maladaptive psychedelic experiences. Support and treatment insights for application of model and for working with difficult cases are provided throughout the training. The presentation is fully compliant with the Standard 8-Phase Protocol and the Adaptive Information Processing Model (AIP) as written by Dr. Francine Shapiro.
