You’re EMDR Trained.
But Now You Feel Out Of Your Depth...

Because you realize you don’t know how to recognize Dissociative Disorders or how to effectively treat dissociation.

You’ve heard not to use the standard EMDR protocol with DID but then don’t know how or when to utilize your EMDR skills.
You aren’t sure what methods effectively screen for DID or what it might look like when it shows up in your office.
You’re looking for an understanding of how to work with dissociative parts and a framework for treatment planning.
You question where to start the work with dissociation, and you’re feeling overwhelmed and out of your depth.
You don't know where to turn to understand how to work with DID and want a place to start before investing in extensive training or specialization
These are the challenges that all EMDR clinicians have faced — because it’s beyond the scope of basic EMDR training. 

You need the tools to start understanding EMDR with Dissociative Disorders right now.

Course Description

This self-paced homestudy webinar provides an introduction to working with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) with EMDR therapy. It emphasizes the importance of clinician training due to the higher-than-expected prevalence of DID and explores the impact of stigma, misinformation, and media portrayals on both clients and professionals.
Information on the neurobiological correlates of DID are reviewed, including the dorsovagal response underlying dissociation and differences in brain scans of DID individuals. Theory driven explanations of the link between attachment wounds and trauma in the development of DID are explored.
Additionally, the Progressive Approach to EMDR therapy is introduced, with guidance on assessing readiness, selecting appropriate targets, and adapting techniques for DID. The course is focused on adult clients.  (Advanced Level)

Learning Objectives

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Identify two key factors underscoring the necessity of clinician training in the screening and treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder.
  • Describe 3 consequences resulting from the impact of stigma, misinformation, and media portrayals of Dissociative Identity Disorder.
  • Identify 3 neurobiological correlates (differences in brain scans and the dorsovagal response) of Dissociative Identity Disorder.
  • Describe 2 ways in which childhood attachment wounds and trauma are related to Dissociative Identity Disorder.
  • Describe at least 2 ways in which dissociation must be considered in EMDR therapy, from readiness considerations to modifications in reprocessing.

"Rooted in Both Research and Real-World Experience"

Dr. Colette Lord’s course on dissociation is exactly what you need to deepen your understanding and build confidence in your clinical work.

Her expertise in the field is evident—rooted in both research and real-world experience. What stands out the most, though, is her compassion and ability to make complex concepts accessible without ever losing depth.

She holds space with such care and clarity, and she is a go-to resource when navigating dissociation in the therapy room. This course will leave you feeling more grounded, informed, and supported.

"Breaks It Down into Smaller, Bite-Sized Pieces"

Dr. Colette Lord's training on dissociation is incredible!  I have been to many trainings about dissociation, DID, EMDR and complex trauma in the past.  I found Colette's approach to be very accessible and knowledgeable.

This can be a very complicated topic and she breaks it down into smaller, bite-sized pieces that make a lot of sense.  She provides excellent research behind the interventions and fascinating statistics that were eye opening to me.  

Colette has such a friendly way of engaging her audience that is warm and inviting.  I loved her information, slides, professional examples of her points and everything about her training.  I encourage anyone who has never had the chance to hear her speak to do it!

“Makes Very Complex Situations Quite Accessible”

Dr. Colette Lord's webinar on Dissociative Identity Disorder should be a must watch for any trauma clinician! This is the information I really wish I'd had earlier in my career.

This provides foundational information that is crucial in order to provide safe, effective care preventing further traumatization. Dr. Lord explains things in a way that makes very complex situations quite accessible. The material was easy to comprehend while it also simultaneously went deep enough so you are walking away feeling well informed.

She is a great presenter and really knows this topic thoroughly, I highly recommend attending this webinar!

“Masterfully Blends Clinical Expertise with Practical Strategies”

Dr. Colette Lord is truly a gift to the field of trauma and dissociation. Her depth of knowledge about Dissociative Identity Disorder and her ability to translate it into clear, clinically relevant applications is unparalleled.

Her training was one of the most comprehensive, accessible, and immediately useful trainings I have attended as a trauma therapist.

Dr. Lord masterfully blends clinical expertise with practical strategies that can be integrated into client work right away.

“Dismantled Myths and Stigma Around DID"

What stood out most was the way she dismantled myths and stigma around DID, grounding the material in research, theory, and years of clinical experience.

She provided concrete tools for screening, assessment, and treatment planning, along with thoughtful guidance for navigating the therapeutic relationship with compassion, clarity, and cultural humility.

I left this training feeling both more confident and more ethically grounded in my work with dissociative clients. This lecture is an invaluable resource for any trauma-focused clinician.

Hi, I’m Colette Lord, PhD and EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Consultant (pronouns: she/her). I’ve completed extensive advanced training in EMDR therapy for Dissociative Disorders and I’m member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation and Diplomate with the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. I’ve been working with Dissociative Identity Disorder for ten years in both private practice and community agency settings.

I’m a bit of a psychology nerd and have a passion for learning that has led to attending numerous training and in depth reading on the subject of Dissociative Disorders. I have taken all of that knowledge and have synthesized it here for you because I know what it’s like to leave basic EMDR training and feeling like I needed more support in knowing where to start with dissociation.

She holds space with such care and clarity, and she is a go-to resource when navigating dissociation in the therapy room.” - LCSW, Gilbert, AZ - EMDRIA Approved Consultant
