New Horizons in EMDR: harnessing the insights of parts & ego states by using an IFS-informed approach to trauma healing. This is a short introductory course spread over five weeks, attending just three hours a week. Led by Dr Annabel McGoldrick and the EMDR Insight Team. We’ve just writing the new programme, we think you’ll love it. We’ll boil down the most important elements that IFS brings to EMDR so your clients’ processing is never stuck or looping. Instead, you infuse each session of EMDR with a kind compassionate energy; discover parts that maybe blocking the way, become the way to help clients’ systems harmonise and achieve their goals. We’ll also teach you just one thing to add to each of the eight phases of EMDR to make it a safer, more relational enhanced healing therapy. Let us know if you’re interested in the first one.
This follows several other very popular workshops with Annabel. Read a review in EMDR Therapy Quarterly: “I came away from the training full of new ideas about how to work with clients when in the past a session may have got stuck or when there was a lack of growth.“

If you’ve ever found your clients dissociating, avoiding their feelings or showing any form of resistance, this is the course for you. Incorporating the Internal Family System (IFS) model as part of your EMDR toolkit is invaluable. It makes the work safer, resistance melts aways as you and your client come to appreciate all forms of defence as helpful survival strategies. These just needed upgrading to meet the needs of the present, while clients’ ego states are commonly frozen in the past.
