queer your practice with EMDR
Offered to folx who have been considering becoming trained in EMDR, this 90 minute playshop will give a brief introduction to the model of EMDR, reinforcing the magic of how healing happens and drawing from the rooted wisdom of relational neuroscience and polyvagal theory so you’ll recognize the pathways of healing. I’ll answer questions about the model, give a little behind the scenes tour of EMDR basic training, and teach a fun intervention from the EMDR world that you can immediately use with your clients to help in trauma recovery. As a queer person, I will never be someone who believes there is only one way to heal. But...out of all the amazing healing modalities out there, how do you know which training is right for you? This is an offering to help you listen to the wisdom of your body so you can feel your no and feed your yes.

healing is our birthright
One of my early teachers, the wise Bonnie Badenoch, first taught me that we are constantly searching for the conditions of safety and when we find them, healing simply happens. Years later another of Bonnie’s students, Jules Taylor Shore, taught me a different version of this birthright wisdom: when compassion is present, the brain can’t help but heal. This workshop will introduce how EMDR approaches the work of trauma metabolism, creating the relational conditions for trauma healing. This is not a workshop to talk you into EMDR training. It's a playshop—taught by a liberationist trauma worker and EMDR/quEerMDr consultant—to teach you about the model EMDR and show you how EMDR creates the conditions for transformation with our clients. This offering will support you in feeling for the somatic resonance of your yes before committing to a high fee, 50 hour EMDR basic training. And, this learning container is rooted in anti-racism, intersectional ecofeminism, queer and trans/affirming culture, fat and body liberation, neurodivergent affirmation, relational repair and collectivist culture. Just like our trauma therapy should be.
you'll learn how EMDR therapists
confidently create the conditions for trauma healing
Learn how EMDR therapists create the relational conditions for safety in trauma processing.
follow the scientific pathways of human resilience
EMDR is an evidence based trauma therapy with widespread popularity and name recognition. Learn how EMDR trained therapists can confidently move clients through EMDR's 8 phase, 3 prong approach to lasting trauma recovery.
help clients metabolize trauma instead of reliving it
While many therapy modalities instruct therapists in the important skill of facilitating re-regulation after activation, EMDR uniquely teaches us how to predictably and repeatedly help our clients to metabolize the historical wounds that contribute to activation in the first place. EMDR training teaches you how to consistently help clients move from pain to wholeness.
quEerMDR consultant and instructor
horizon greene, LICSW/LCSW (they/she). I am a queer fat nonbinary femme who practices at the intersections of oppression, grief, trauma and liberation. My EMDR and trauma healing practice is deeply woven within liberatory practice culture and I come from a lineage of witches and healers dedicated to justice for all people with a lived experience of oppression. I have spent more than 23 years in a deep study of how healing happens, learning to undo oppression while learning to co-create cultures of justice and belonging. My training has included intensive learnings in somatics, trauma healing, anti-oppressive practices, anti-racism, liberatory culture building and ritual. My therapy practice is a blending of liberatory healing practices rooted in the relational neurosciences, somatic wisdom, parts work, ancestral healing, magic and love. I accompany people in the deep work of making real what our souls know is possible. I am a lifetime student of how healing happens and am an EMDR Certified Therapist, an EMDR Consultant and a Level 2 Trained IFS Therapist. I completed a 9 month intensive in Somatic Abolitionism for Therapists with Resmaa Menakem and am a Certified Body Trust® Provider. I am regularly a teaching assistant for the beautiful QTIFS program.
