New!
Trainer: Amanda Martin, Jose Carbajal
On-demand
3 Hours
Overview & Requirements

Your Supervisee is EMDR-Trained. You Don’t Have to Be. 

Learn how to confidently and ethically supervise EMDR-trained clinicians without stepping outside your scope of competence. This practical training helps supervisors distinguish clinical supervision from EMDR consultation, strengthen trauma-informed case conceptualization, support reflective practice, address client safety and stabilization, and establish clear professional boundaries.

Gain a collaborative framework for fostering clinical growth while ensuring modality-specific questions receive the answers they require.

Support the clinician. Protect the client. Feel more confident in your role. 

Clinical supervisors may oversee EMDR-trained clinicians without having completed EMDR training themselves. In this training Drs. Carbajal and Martin  clarify how supervisors can provide ethical, trauma-informed, and growth-oriented oversight while remaining within their competence and avoiding modality-specific instruction. Participants examine the distinct functions of clinical supervision and EMDR consultation, including when collaboration with an EMDR consultant is indicated. The course emphasizes a collaborative supervisory relationship, reflective practice, case conceptualization, risk assessment, informed consent, professional development, and integration of EMDR within broader clinical and systemic frameworks. Trauma-informed andragogy is applied to supervision through safety and respect, transparency, voice and choice, collaboration, connection, social justice, and a strengths-based orientation toward growth and resilience. The eight phases of the EMDR standard protocol are reviewed to provide contextual knowledge without positioning the non-EMDR-trained supervisor as a technique expert.

Join these experts in the fields of clinical supervision and EMDR Consultation to learn how to support your supervisees in their clinical growth!

Course Objectives
  1. Identify ethical responsibilities and scope-of-competence considerations when supervising an EMDR-trained clinician without being EMDR-trained

  3. Use reflective supervision strategies that strengthen self-awareness, critical thinking, and professional development without teaching modality-specific technique.
  4. Differentiate clinical supervision from EMDR consultation and determine when external modality-specific consultation is appropriate.
  5. Integrate collaborative, relationship-based, and trauma-informed andragogical principles into the supervision of adult learners.
