EMDR Through an Anti-Oppression Lens
February 23-24, 2024 with Jasmine Adams, LCSW, PMH-C
This course is designed for intentional anti-oppression clinicians to apply decolonizing practices to EMDR’s 8 phase standard protocol. Be prepared to learn and collaboratively discuss ways we can best support our clients who have been intentionally marginalized and oppressed by multiple systems. We will explore oppression traumas and how they impact clients and their internalized beliefs about self. We will walk through each phase and discussion how to tailor to each clients needs. We will acknowledge and identify ancestral practices that can be incorporated throughout the 8 phases. This will be an interactive training with small group and large group discussions, along with expressive art reflection.
Bring your expressive arts materials as we go on this journey together to decolonize our EMDR mental health practices.
Registration Deadline: February 21, 2025
