IFS-Informed EMDR Workshops for Therapists. Paving the way for transformative healing experiences.

02/20/2026

Clients benefit when their therapists continue to grow. Advanced training allows clinicians to respond more precisely to what’s happening beneath the surface — not just symptoms, but internal dynamics, protective strategies, and unmet needs.

When therapists deepen their understanding of integration models like IFS-Informed EMDR, they’re better able to avoid overwhelm, prevent re-traumatization, and support lasting change. Continued training helps clinicians recognize when to slow down, when to shift targets, and when to work directly with protectors rather than pushing ahead.

The result? Therapy that feels safer, more collaborative, and more effective — especially for clients with complex trauma histories.

IFS and EMDR each offer powerful pathways for trauma healing — and together, they create something greater than either model alone.

EMDR provides a structured, evidence-based framework for reprocessing traumatic memory through the Adaptive Information Processing model. IFS brings a compassionate, relational understanding of the internal system — helping therapists recognize protectors, exiles, and the role of Self-energy as trauma is activated.

When integrated thoughtfully, IFS helps therapists understand why processing stalls, while EMDR offers a clear roadmap for moving forward. Parts are approached with curiosity rather than resistance, and trauma work unfolds with greater safety, precision, and attunement.

At Syzygy Institute, this integration isn’t theoretical — it’s practiced, refined, and taught experientially so clinicians can apply it with confidence in real sessions.

Step 3: Discovery & Beyond is Syzygy’s advanced integration workshop, designed for clinicians who want to move deeper into healing with complex trauma systems. This two-day experiential training builds on Step 2 and introduces the Discovery process—bridging EMDR, IFS, and principles from Coherence Therapy and memory reconsolidation research.

In Step 3, therapists learn how to work skillfully with blended protectors, uncover the emotional truths beneath symptoms, and support the system as it shifts from protection to healing. The focus is on precision, pacing, and relational safety—helping clinicians facilitate durable change without overwhelm or bypassing.

Through lecture, case examples, live demonstrations, and guided practice, Step 3 offers a refined lens for advanced trauma work and deeper clinical confidence.

Burnout often isn’t caused by caring too much — it’s caused by feeling unsupported, under-resourced, or stuck with difficult clinical material. Continued training gives therapists new language, tools, and perspectives that restore a sense of agency in the work.

Learning how to work with protectors instead of fighting them, how to pace trauma processing safely, and how to track internal shifts like Self-energy can dramatically reduce emotional exhaustion. When clinicians feel equipped, they’re less likely to carry clients’ systems alone.

At Syzygy, training is also about community — learning alongside other therapists who understand the weight and beauty of trauma work. Continued education can be a form of care for the clinician, not just professional development.

Step 2 is often described as the bridge—the place where EMDR and IFS come together in a practical, clinically grounded way. IFS-Informed EMDR is a two-day advanced experiential workshop designed for EMDR-trained clinicians ready to deepen their trauma work with complex systems.

In Step 2, therapists learn how to bring parts language into EMDR without disrupting the protocol. You’ll explore Functional Dual Attention, work directly with protectors during processing, and learn how to track internal shifts such as Self-energy and protective intention—going beyond traditional SUDs and VOCs.

This training offers clarity for moments when processing stalls, clients feel overwhelmed, or internal conflict takes center stage. With live demonstrations and guided practice, Step 2 equips clinicians to stay Self-led while navigating the most challenging clinical material.

IFS-Informed EMDR goes beyond technique — it changes how therapists understand the internal system during trauma processing.

Rather than treating resistance, avoidance, or overwhelm as obstacles, this integrative approach recognizes them as protective parts with positive intentions. Processing is guided by Self-energy, not urgency, allowing EMDR to unfold in a way that feels safer and more sustainable for complex clients.

By blending the structure of EMDR with the relational framework of IFS, therapists gain a clearer map for working with protectors, exiles, and internal polarization — without bypassing or forcing the system. The result is trauma therapy that is precise, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the client’s internal world.

This is not about replacing EMDR or IFS — it’s about integrating their strengths into a unified clinical approach that supports lasting change.

Trauma work asks a lot of clinicians — especially when clients present with complexity, dissociation, or strong protective systems. Continued training isn’t about collecting credentials; it’s about building confidence in the room.

When therapists deepen their understanding of how trauma lives in the nervous system and the internal system, they’re less likely to feel stuck, rushed, or unsure of their next step. Ongoing education sharpens clinical intuition, strengthens decision-making, and helps therapists remain grounded even when sessions feel challenging.

At Syzygy Institute, continued training means refining your ability to stay Self-led, respond with clarity, and trust the process — even when the work gets complex. That confidence doesn’t just benefit the clinician; it directly impacts client safety and outcomes.

Our trainers and program guides model Self-energy in real time, creating a learning space where therapists can take risks, explore complexity, and truly integrate what they’re learning. The focus isn’t on rigid protocols, but on developing clinical discernment, confidence, and depth.

If you’re looking for trauma training that honors the whole system — yours and your clients’ — Syzygy offers a path rooted in clarity, compassion, and integration.

Step 1 is where many therapists experience a shift in how they understand both their clients and themselves in the therapy room. Intro to IFS for EMDR Therapists offers a foundational, experiential introduction to Internal Family Systems through a trauma-informed lens.

In this two-day live workshop, you’ll learn the language of parts, the role of Self-energy, and how internal systems organize around protection and healing. For EMDR-trained clinicians, Step 1 provides essential context for understanding what emerges in session when trauma processing activates protectors, avoidance, or internal conflict.

This training is not about memorizing techniques—it’s about developing a compassionate, relational framework that enhances safety and clarity in your work. Whether IFS is new to you or something you’ve encountered but want to understand more deeply, Step 1 lays the groundwork for meaningful integration.
