Advanced EMDR Consultation for Complex Trauma and Dissociative Systems

EMDR Consultation Cohort for Working with Dissociation & Complex Trauma

When complex trauma or dissociation is central, EMDR becomes fundamentally different work.

Processing doesn’t simply stall; it fragments.
Parts intervene.
Protective systems reorganize.
Affect shifts abruptly or disappears.
Clients destabilize in ways that require immediate recalibration.

This level of work asks for more than protocol fluency.

It requires disciplined pacing.
Clear structural understanding.
System-wide awareness.
And the clinical restraint to know when not to proceed.

This cohort is designed for clinicians who are actively working with complex developmental trauma and dissociative presentations and want consultation that reflects the depth and responsibility of that work.

This is not an introductory EMDR consultation.

This is integration-level trauma work.

This Cohort Is Designed For Clinicians Working With:

  • Complex developmental trauma.

  • Structural dissociation.

  • DID and OSDD.

  • Chronic relational trauma with entrenched protective systems.

  • Clients who fragment, shut down, or destabilize during processing.

  • Presentations where stabilization and system coordination are ongoing priorities.

EMDR Basic Training is required.

This cohort assumes familiarity with EMDR fundamentals and comfort working with layered trauma presentations.

Cohort Structure

  • EMDRIA-approved consultation hours.

  • 90-minute sessions.

  • Monthly for 6 months.

  • Closed cohort (no drop-ins).

  • Fully virtual.

  • Limited to 10 clinicians.

Because of the clinical depth involved, this cohort is intentionally small to allow for nuanced case discussion and thoughtful integration over time.

Participants must bring cases for hours to count toward EMDRIA certification.

Clinical Focus Areas

  • Differential assessment of dissociation within complex trauma.

  • Applying structural dissociation frameworks within EMDR.

  • Parts-informed and ego-state adaptations.

  • System mapping and inter-part communication.

  • Titration and pacing for nervous system stability.

  • Recognizing when stabilization must take precedence over processing.

  • Ethical decision-making in high-risk or destabilizing moments.

  • Integration strategies across dissociative systems.

This cohort prioritizes stabilization, coordination, and long-term integration over pushing reprocessing prematurely.

We move carefully.
We assess thoroughly.
We work with the whole system, not just individual targets.

For Clinicians Committed to Responsible Trauma Work

If your caseload includes dissociative systems or complex developmental trauma, and you want consultation that meets that level of complexity, this space is designed for you.

This is not about moving faster.
It is about working responsibly, ethically, and with structural clarity.

Feeling Stuck With Dissociation in EMDR? Consultation Is Often the Missing Piece

A free clinical orientation for EMDR clinicians, considering focused consultation for dissociation.

If you work with EMDR long enough, dissociation will show up.

And when it does, many clinicians quietly struggle with:

  • Losing confidence in case conceptualization.

  • Uncertainty about pacing, parts, and readiness.

  • Feeling alone with complex clinical decision-making.

  • Wondering whether more training is needed — or something else entirely.

Here’s the reframe most clinicians don’t hear:

This isn’t a skills deficit.
 It’s a lack of structured clinical consultation focused on dissociation.

Free Clinical Guide:

“Is EMDR Dissociation Consultation the Right Next Step?”

This short, focused resource will help you:

  • Identify when dissociation is a consultation issue, not a training issue.

  • Understand what targeted EMDR consultation actually supports.

  • Clarify whether your current cases would benefit from cohort-style consultation.

  • Reflect on what kind of clinical support would feel most stabilizing right now.

This guide is designed for clinicians who are actively considering consultation, not those looking for quick techniques or protocols.

This resource is grounded in EMDR, parts-informed conceptualization, and real questions clinicians bring into dissociation-focused consultation spaces.

It does not provide therapy, supervision, or certification.
It helps you decide whether consultation is the right next step for you.
