Free EMDR Workshop: Understanding Interweaves in EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapists: do you ever find yourself wondering…

• “Should I intervene right now?”

• “Why is processing looping?”

• “Is this dissociation, avoidance, overwhelm, or just a block?”

• “What kind of interweave would actually help here?”

One of the biggest shifts in EMDR practice happens when therapists move beyond simply following protocol and begin understanding why and when to use interweaves effectively.

I’m hosting a free workshop on Interweaves in EMDR Therapy through the EMDR Confidence Lab designed to help therapists strengthen clinical decision-making, increase confidence during reprocessing, and better navigate stuck processing, looping, shutdown, dissociation, and over-control.

In this workshop, we’ll cover:
✔ Understanding the purpose of interweaves within the AIP model
✔ How to recognize when processing is blocked
✔ Different categories of interweaves and how to choose them
✔ Therapist anxiety and over-intervening during EMDR
✔ Clinical flexibility without losing fidelity to the model
✔ Case examples and practical application

This training is especially helpful for:

• Newly trained EMDR therapists

• Therapists working with complex trauma

• Clinicians who feel anxious or frozen during processing

• EMDR therapists wanting more confidence and conceptual clarity

The goal is not to become a “perfect” EMDR therapist. The goal is to become a more grounded, flexible, and attuned one.

Because confidence in EMDR isn’t built by getting everything “right.” It’s built through supported practice, consultation, and learning to trust yourself as a clinician.
