About this Event
This approach is particularly well-suited for clinicians who are EMDR-curious but feel overwhelmed by the time, cost, or complexity required for full EMDR training, offering a developmentally grounded and accessible entry point that can be learned and implemented quickly. The intervention is intentionally simple, allowing clients to learn and apply it independently as a coping skill when stressors arise, in addition to the work they do with their clinician during session.
The training combines didactic instruction, guided experiential exercises, case examples, and brief dyads, offering clinicians both conceptual clarity and embodied understanding. Emphasis is placed on clinical pacing, nervous system safety, and ethical application.
Participants will leave with an easy-to-learn, clear, step-by-step intervention and coping skill they can apply and teach immediately in practice, along with guidance on how to sequence attachment-based, somatic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches without bypassing core developmental wounds.
About the Instructor
John Otts, LPC, CADCIII, holds a degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University, with an emphasis in Wilderness Therapy. His current teaching and course development draw from both established and emerging frameworks, including attachment theory, EMDR-informed and trauma-responsive interventions, transpersonal psychology, and ecopsychology.
