What to Bring:

  • Based on participating in many training events we offer some suggestions.

  • Please bring comfortable clothing and shoes. It is a good idea to bring a sweater/something warm to cover up with-temperatures get a little iffy at times-particularly over the weekends. We are all professionals- dress for your comfort and well being.

  • Feel free to bring your laptop, pad or device for note taking. As therapists we understand that any one of us might receive urgent communications during the training. However for the best possible learning experience for you, and possibly those around you, broad scale multitasking is quite likely to impair your learning experience.

  • Bring your business cards. Training is a good place to meet others, network and form informal support groups. Peer support, learning and encouragement is one of the biggest helps to successfully implementing, skill building and sustaining practice with EMDR.
