Advanced Integration Through the Lens of Therapist Parts

The Integrated EMDR and IFS Model Level 2 is designed for clinicians ready to deepen not only their clinical skills, but also their relationship with themselves as therapists.

Building on the foundational concepts introduced in The Integrated EMDR and IFS Model Level 1 (required prerequisite), this advanced training explores the therapist's internal system, the impact of therapist parts in the therapy room, and the nuanced decision-making required when working with complex trauma.

Through advanced teaching, live demonstrations, experiential practice, and collaborative discussion, participants will strengthen their ability to remain Self-led, navigate challenging clinical moments, and integrate EMDR and IFS with greater confidence, flexibility, and depth.

Rather than relying solely on protocols or scripted interventions, Level 2 invites clinicians to develop a deeper trust in themselves and their capacity to respond thoughtfully to complexity as it emerges.
