Bridging Models: IFS in EMDR Clinical Practice
Free Training. 1 CE Hour. Zero Cost. Maximum Impact.
Unlock new pathways for client transformation by integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles within your EMDR practice. This dynamic, experiential course is designed for practicing trauma therapists ready to deepen their skillset, expand clinical flexibility, and facilitate lasting change. Learn how to invite compassionate Self Energy into EMDR, blend a “parts” approach with adaptive information processing, and walk away with practical tools you can use in your next session.
Practical Skills
Practical Interventions You'll Learn
In this free IFS and EMDR integration course, you'll learn how to:
- Recognize how IFS Self energy and the EMDR Adaptive Information Processing model align as complementary healing frameworks
- Identify parts that show up during EMDR sessions, including protectors, exiles, and Self, in real clinical contexts
- Invite Self energy into EMDR work to support client regulation, internal cooperation, and processing
- Bridge IFS "parts" language with EMDR phase work in a way that honors fidelity to both models
- Apply experiential tools for embodying self-leadership in your own clinical presence
- Use scripts and prompts to introduce parts-informed concepts to clients in language that reduces shame
- Recognize when stuck EMDR sessions may benefit from a parts-informed adjustment rather than a protocol shift
- Build a foundational IFS-informed EMDR framework you can deepen through more advanced clinical training
