EMBODIED:
Somatic Integration for EMDR Therapists
Upcoming Course: July 2026
EMDR was never meant to be mechanical.
It was meant to be embodied. You can follow the protocol. You can hit the targets.
If the nervous system is still organized around threat, your client will continue to feel stuck.
trauma isn’t just stored in memory. It’s stored in the body.
What if the missing piece isn't more technique… BUT a new way of seeing?
In EMBODIED: Somatic Integration for EMDR Therapists, you’ll learn how to:
-
Work directly with the somatic narrative, not just the cognitive one
-
Track subtle nervous system shifts in real time
-
Know when to stay with standard processing, and when to pivot
SO when your client...
• Freezes
• Dissociates
• Loops
• Intellectualizes
• Or suddenly “goes blank”
....you don’t second guess yourself. You'll know EXACTLY what to do.
Move beyond symptom reduction → into nervous system reorganization
You'll learn:
✔️ Your nervous system is the intervention. One of the most powerful tools you bring into the room.... is YOU.
✔️ How to expand your client's nervous system capacity, not just manage symptoms.
✔️ Strengthen your ability to co-regulate intentionally.
✔️ Gain clarity on how your presence impacts the process and build confidence in slowing down, following, and leading when needed
Inside EMBODIED, you’ll learn to...
You’ll learn how to help clients:
✔️ Complete truncated defensive responses (fight, flight, orienting)
✔️ Reinstate acts of defense that were never able to happen
✔️ Discharge and integrate survival energy safely
✔️ Create missing developmental experiences that were never encoded
✔️ Expand capacity—not just manage symptoms
Because healing isn’t just about feeling better.
Build Somatic Skills for Trauma & Developmental Processing
Embodying a New Organization of Experience
You’ll learn how to help clients:
✔️ Drop into the body, and support completion without overwhelm
✔️ Use somatic interweaves in real time
✔️ Not just follow EMDR Protocol, but work with the organization of experience
✔️ Track, respond, and adapt in real time; building confidence in the pivot
✔️ Facilitate true integration - not just desensitization

Learn How to Pivot When Processing Gets Stuck
Most clinicians weren’t trained for this part.
What do you do when:
• Processing stalls?
• The client loses connection?
• The material becomes flat or overwhelming?

This is for you IF...
✔︎ You’re an EMDR-trained (trauma-informed) therapist who senses that something is still missing in your work with complex clients.
✔︎ You’ve noticed your clients can talk about their experiences… but their nervous systems aren’t fully shifting.
✔︎ You find yourself thinking: “Why do my clients still get overwhelmed, dissociate, or stay stuck… even when I’m doing it ‘right’?”
✔︎ You’re ready to move beyond cognitive strategies and into working directly with the body and nervous system.
✔︎ You want to confidently integrate somatic resourcing, interweaves, and nervous system tracking into EMDR.
✔︎ You’re drawn to deeper work—supporting not just symptom reduction, but a new organization of experience.
✔︎ You care deeply about your clients and want to create lasting, embodied change; not just temporary relief.
✔︎ You’re open to experiencing the work yourself—not just learning techniques, but becoming a more embodied clinician.
✔︎ You value nuance, depth, and clinical excellence—and you’re ready to expand your capacity alongside your clients.
This is NOT for you IF...
𒒬 You’re looking for quick techniques, scripts, or “plug-and-play” interventions without deeper understanding.
𒒬 You prefer to stay primarily cognitive and are not interested in working with the body or nervous system.
𒒬 You’re early in your training and don’t yet have a foundational understanding of trauma or EMDR.
𒒬 You want fast results without investing time in integration, practice, and clinical growth.
𒒬 You’re uncomfortable slowing down, tracking sensation, or working moment-to- moment with your client’s experience.
𒒬 You believe healing should be linear, predictable, and symptom-focused only.
𒒬 You’re not open to reflecting on your own nervous system and how it impacts your clinical work.
𒒬 You’re looking for surface-level strategies rather than deep, transformational work with developmental and shock trauma.
ITS TIME TO SHIFT
From... “Am I doing this right?” To ...“I understand what’s happening in the nervous system.”
From... rigid structure To ...flexible, attuned intervention
From... second-guessing To ...grounded confidence
Not just to follow
EMDR Protocol...
But to:
• Work with the organization of experience
• Track, respond, and adapt in real time
• Facilitate integration—not just desensitization

“Embodied provided a life-changing framework for integrating a somatic approach with EMDR, bringing it all together in a more fluid way. I am already seeing my clients gain deeper capacity to recognize their nervous system states and regulate outside of sessions. I am so much more attuned to myself and able to be more attuned to the clients I am sitting with.”

“I feel like I’ve gained so many tools, resources, and understanding that I am taking from this training that has helped me feel more enriched personally in session and in my work with my clients.”
Christie Mauco, LAC, Healing Hearts Counseling
“I went right into my session the following week and used what I learned with a client I had been struggling with. The only way I can describe the impact is that it deepened the experience and added a whole new element to our work together. My client was noticing a burning in her eyes and was able to identify it as anger and she was able to sequence through that.”
