Course Description & Learning Objectives


Program Description 

This advanced OnDemand course is an in-depth training connected to Sara Gilman's OnDemand advanced EMDR training course focusing on helping athletes and other performers improve their peak performance, return from set-backs or injuries and clear-up blocks or yips that interferes with optimal performance. 

This training brings together top EMDR clinicians from around the country to share how they work with this population from case conceptualization, to specific interventions depending on the unique situations that performers present.

 Participants will build their skills in utilizing the basic EMDR protocol and early EMDR intervention protocols, with other modalities, in the office and in the performers competitive arena. Demonstrations will be shown of how EMDR is integrated with HeartMath Tools, Guided Imagery and Self-regulating skills. The afternoon practicum will allow participants to practice how to introduce these modalities and in what situations they can be used. Topics include working with young athletes, using an "intensive model," addressing underlying diagnosis, interactions with Coaches and parents, defining  performance success and failure and how to manage both, utilizing assessment tools and how to create a business of performance counseling.

Abstract

Several studies show that using EMDR with performers can decrease anxiety, shift negative views and desensitize memories of upsetting events, resulting in improved performance (Foster, S. & Lendl, J., 1996; Bennett, J., Bickley, J., Vernon, T., et al., 2017). This course is the extended and in-depth version of an advanced EMDR training course that focuses on helping athletes and other performers improve their peak performance, return from set-backs or injuries, and clear-up blocks or yips that interfere with optimal performance. This training brings together top EMDR clinicians from around the country to share how they work with this population from case conceptualization, to specific interventions depending on the unique situations that performers present. Participants will build on their skills in utilizing the basic EMDR protocol and early EMDR intervention protocols, with other modalities, in the office and in the performers competitive arena. Demonstrations will be shown of how EMDR is integrated with HeartMath Tools, Guided Imagery and Self-regulating skills. Videos of practice allow participants to practice how to introduce these modalities and in what situations they can be used. Topics include working with young athletes, using an ‘intensive model’, addressing underlying diagnosis, interactions with Coaches and parents, defining performance success and failure and how to manage both, utilizing assessment tools and how to create a business of performance counseling

Course Reviews of Sara Gilman's OnDemand EMDR and Performance advanced course

“Very helpful and informative materials presented. I will be utilizing skills and techniques taught immediately. ”

“Loved this training. Very helpful to my current practice in several ways.”

““This training is a must for any EMDR clinician who works with athletes, creatives or performers of any kind. Dr. Gilman has invaluable knowledge and information to share. I can't wait to take what I've learned into my sessions to further enhance my clients growth.”

“One of the best trainings since initial EMDR training. As I begin to implement performance enhancement into my private practice, I learned so much that I have not implemented into my practice that would be a great benefit. Understanding heart rate variability and some of the skills taught has equipped my tool box to another level.”

“Excellent speaker and presentation. Very informative and interesting content.”

“It was so good! I work in collegiate athletics and am almost certified in EMDR. I was hoping to find an EMDR workshop on performance and I did! Thank you so much!”

“Super informative, and I love the visualization techniques!”

“I cannot express the amount of validation, information, education and motivation this training provided me. I cannot wait to put these new skills into my practice. I look forward to the next training these wonderful professionals put on. Thank you!!!”

“Excellent!”

“ I enjoyed this course and appreciated the videos that were included.”

“So Informative. I learned so much specifically about how an EMDR session with an athlete looks like and how to be most effective working with the entire team. I appreciate the knowledge and information about intensives and am excited to get started.”
