FREDERICK, Md., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Trauma Specialists Training Institute (TSTI), a new training platform for counselors, social workers, and psychologists, offers ongoing training classes to help specialists reach their continuing education requirements. The classes are available throughout the United States, along with 24/7 access to training resources.
The Institute exists to provide coursework and accreditation in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy in a supportive, flexible, online environment. These classes are designed to be flexible enough to fit any schedule while still providing tactical and easily implemented approaches.
Rachel Harrison, LCPC, NCC is the founder and owner of TSTI. Harrison first learned EMDR in 2011. It changed her practice so much that she went on to become a consultant and trainer. "Working with patients through their trauma can be difficult. EMDR is a technique therapists can utilize that lead to healing and growth for their clients."
EMDR is a mental health process designed to treat conditions arising from PTSD. Its focus is to allow the participant to process traumatic memories in a way that eliminates the fight, flight, or freeze responses associated with remembering painful events. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other traditional therapies. Specialists will find it to be a helpful tool for many patients suffering from PTSD.
TSTI offers several training sessions throughout the year, including informative webinars and basic training classes. All sessions are EMDRIA approved and endorsed by NASW. Providers can further benefit from joining the EMDR Circle, which provides 24/7 access to consultation, training, resources, practice groups, and demo groups.
The classes provide six days of lessons and ten hours of consultation video calls with a training partner. Participants participate in didactic teaching, discussion, and practice. They then get a chance to break out into smaller groups to practice the skills they have learned. This comprehensive training method means participants will experience EMDR therapy as a client, a therapist, and an observer as required for the certification.
Harrison and her fellow TSTI trainers are looking forward to helping their next cohort of students. "We work really hard as a team to make learning EMDR the best experience possible, and are excited for a new group of therapists to join our community."
All TSTI classes offer continuing education credits along with a certificate of completion. For more information about available classes or to sign up for continuing education classes, please visit traumaspecialiststraining.com.
