Advanced EMDR Skills
Strategies for Enhanced Trauma Processing
The standard EMDR protocol is your foundation. But when clients present with complex trauma, limited processing capacity, or destabilizing symptoms, you need more than protocol. You need a clinical toolkit built for the cases that keep you up at night.
Advanced EMDR Skills is a two-day on-demand training with Rebecca Kase, LCSW, designed for EMDR-trained therapists who are ready to go deeper. You will move beyond the basics and into the nuanced strategies that make the difference in complex cases: refined treatment planning, constricted processing techniques, skillful interweaves, and the science of using the social engagement system to support successful reprocessing.
This training is practical, clinical, and immediately applicable. Walk away with tools you can use in your next session.

Practical Skills
Practical Interventions You'll Learn
This training gives you hands-on instruction in the advanced EMDR strategies that standard training skip. Each technique is taught with clear clinical rationale and direct application to complex trauma presentations.
- The Preparation Hierarchy: A structured framework for assessing client reprocessing readiness before entering Phases 3-8.
- Symptom-Focused Treatment Planning: Create targeted plans to reduce destabilizing symptoms and widen the window of tolerance.
- Fractionated Treatment Planning: Work with cluster experiences using a fractionated approach for safer, more contained processing.
- Preverbal Trauma Techniques: Use implicit memory treatment planning to access and process trauma that predates verbal memory.
- EMD and EMDr: Constricted processing strategies that keep clients within the window of tolerance when full reprocessing is not appropriate.
- The Art of the Interweave: When and how to use cognitive, affective, and somatic interweaves to move stuck processing forward.
- Taxing Working Memory: A powerful interweave option that reduces client overwhelm and produces rapid SUDS reduction.
- The Social Engagement System in EMDR: How to use the therapeutic relationship and nervous system co-regulation to support target reprocessing without disrupting the process.
