attachment-informed EMDR: Clinical Demonstration and Applied Decision Making
Date:
August 29, 2026
Place:
Greenwood Village Training Space, 6200 S Syracuse Way, Greenwood Village, CO, 80111
Even with solid EMDR training, sessions can feel more complex when the client’s distress is rooted in early attachment injury and developmental trauma.
This standalone six-hour, one-day masterclass follows the two-day foundations training in attachment-informed EMDR and is designed for EMDR-trained clinicians who want to deepen clinical decision-making by observing live demonstrations and exploring key decision points through guided analysis and structured discussion.
What you will take from this masterclass
You will leave with more clarity about...
• how to track capacity and shifts in nervous system regulation as the session unfolds
• how to recognize when processing is moving, stalled, or becoming overly cognitive
• how to make cleaner choices about pacing, focus, and intervention within the standard EMDR protocol
• how and when attachment-focused imaginal and relational interweaves can support repair and continuation of processing
• how to return the client to present orientation with containment and completion
A simple plan for the day
• Observe extended clinical demonstrations
• Analyze the decision points and the clinical rationale behind them
• Leave with practical clarity you can carry into your next sessions
What you will see during the day
• Bridging from present-day experience to formative developmental targets with containment
• Resourcing first, so the system has enough support for processing
• Activation guided through image, emotion, and body sensation while tracking nervous system capacity
• Real-time pacing adjustments based on nervous system cues
• Attachment-focused imaginal and relational interweaves selected and timed to support repair when spontaneous processing is insufficient
• Session segments brought to completion with a clear return to present orientation
How the day is taught
Teaching centers on live demonstration, guided clinical analysis, structured questions, and focused discussion.
Mark Brayne explains his clinical decision-making as he works so you can follow the logic moment by moment.
Important note
This training is delivered in person, with no virtual option.
Who this is for
This masterclass is for EMDR-trained clinicians who want to refine clinical decision-making in attachment-informed EMDR through observation.
It is especially helpful if you want a clearer sense of...
• when to stay out of the way and when to intervene
• how to time interweaves without disrupting processing
• how to keep sessions coherent and complete
Register for the masterclass. The possibilities are endless.
