No, this is an integrated curriculum co-created by the faculty. The faculty are colleagues in this program. They are working together to make sure each individual module is cohesive with the entire curriculum. Every teacher is informed about what is coming before and what is coming after and integrating their curriculum based on that information.

While some theory will be presented to support the learning, the primary focus of the practice is experiential, giving practical tools for the participants.

All students who complete the requirements below will receive a Certificate of Completion from The Embody Lab. The requirements to receive the Certificate are:

• Attend the live sessions or watch the recordings.
• Complete the Self Evaluation after each module.
• Complete 10 sessions (45 mins or longer) outside of class times. A session is considered a practice together with the application of the tools learned.

Licensed therapists or health professionals (e.g., social workers, psychologists, clinical therapists, registered nurses) may use the title "Somatic EMDR Practitioner".

Non-licensed individuals may say: "I integrate somatic EMDR interventions into my practice."

This program provides in-depth training in integrative somatic EMDR approaches but does not grant EMDRIA certification. EMDRIA certification has specific requirements, including training from an EMDRIA-approved provider. Additionally, EMDRIA does not allow for the integration of somatic approaches, which The Embody Lab considers vital for best practices in trauma treatment. This program is designed for professionals seeking to incorporate EMDR techniques with a somatic framework in their practice.
