The Resilient Healer Summit: EMDR and Beyond – In Sacred Community, Together is a 12-hour continuing education program designed for mental and behavioral health professionals, including licensed psychologists, who work in trauma-exposed environments. The program focuses on the application of psychological assessment and intervention methods with consistent and credible empirical support to reduce clinician burnout and secondary traumatic stress and to strengthen resilience in trauma-focused practice.

Participants learn to assess and differentiate empirically described indicators of burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, and vicarious resilience, and to evaluate how these conditions influence professional functioning, clinical decision-making, and patient outcomes. The curriculum emphasizes the applied use of evidence-based regulation and stabilization strategies drawn from trauma-focused care, including EMDR-informed Phase 2 resourcing procedures, mindfulness-based interventions, and somatic regulation techniques. Participants also apply Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed interventions (e.g., Self-leadership, unblending, Self-to-part dialogue) and the TIPS framework (Technician, Internalizer, Protector, Stabilizer) to identify internal stress patterns, strengthen self-regulation, and improve clinical presence and ethical practice sustainability.

Instruction includes brief didactic teaching, case-based formulation, guided skills practice, and structured experiential demonstrations. Participants practice selecting and adapting interventions to specific clinical and professional scenarios and develop a personalized, trauma-informed resilience plan that integrates empirically supported strategies for ongoing professional development and workplace culture.

The program explicitly addresses the empirical basis, accuracy and utility, limitations, and potential risks of the methods presented, including risks of emotional activation during experiential practice, avoidance-based use of regulation strategies, boundary diffusion, and cultural/spiritual mismatch. Participation in experiential components is voluntary, and grounding and emotional-safety procedures are modeled throughout. The content builds upon doctoral-level competencies in psychological assessment, intervention, ethics, and culturally responsive practice and is directly relevant to psychological practice across diverse trauma-exposed settings.

This Summit features the following continuing education sessions:

  1. Beating Provider Burnout with Vicarious Resilience (4 CEs) Facilitator: Jenny Hughes, PhD
  2. Care of Self: Reframing Self-Care Through the Lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) (4 CEs) Facilitator: Lisa Duez, LCSW, MPA
  3. Sacred Space for the Healer: EMDR & Evidence-Based Practices to Prevent Burnout and Heal Vicarious Trauma (4 CEs) Facilitator: Dr. Linda Timme, DSW, MSW, LCSW, LCSW-C
Potential Risks / Emotional Safety

This program includes discussion of trauma and brief experiential activities (e.g., mindfulness, somatic awareness, reflective writing) that may evoke emotional discomfort. Participation in any experiential exercise is strictly optional. Facilitators will clearly invite participants to opt out at any time and will offer alternative reflective or observational options. Strategies for grounding, self-regulation, and emotional safety will be modeled and reinforced throughout the training, and participants are encouraged to care for their own well-being (e.g., stepping out, pausing, or seeking brief support as needed).

At the conclusion of this 12-hour Summit, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe how vicarious trauma, vicarious resilience, and burnout manifest in trauma-exposed helping professionals.
  2. Integrate at least two IFS-informed self-care strategies and two EMDR-informed regulation strategies into a professional wellness plan.
  3. Apply trauma-informed, ethically grounded approaches to clinician self-care and resilience across diverse practice settings.
  4. Identify at least two neurobiological or psychosocial mechanisms underlying stress and resilience in helping professionals.

Course Description

Care of Self: Reframing Self-Care Through the Lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS)

This training invites clinicians to reconceptualize self-care through a parts-based, trauma-informed lens grounded in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. Rather than approaching self-care as a checklist of external tasks, participants will learn to view it as an internal relational practice—cultivating compassionate Self-to-part connections that promote resilience and prevent burnout.

Through a blend of didactic teaching, experiential exercises, and case-based clinical applications, participants will develop skills to recognize the protective and burdened parts that shape their patterns of rest, responsibility, and emotional regulation. The training also introduces the TIPS Model (Technician, Internalizer, Protector, Stabilizer), a framework for understanding therapist parts that influence pacing, attunement, and ethical decision-making.

Designed for intermediate-level clinicians, this workshop supports deeper professional sustainability, internal coherence, and long-term resilience for practitioners working in trauma-exposed environments.

Target Audience

Intermediate-level mental and behavioral health professionals seeking to enhance IFS-informed self-care, burnout prevention, and clinical presence.

Goals

  1. Expand clinicians’ understanding of self-care as an internal relational process rather than a set of external behaviors.
  2. Provide tools to identify and compassionately engage protective parts that shape clinicians’ self-care patterns.
  3. Support the application of IFS-informed strategies to enhance emotional resilience, well-being, and sustainable professional functioning.

Learning Objectives

  1. Participants will identify and describe three core IFS principles (Self-leadership, multiplicity of mind, internal harmony) and explain one way each principle relates to clinician self-regulation and wellness.
  2. Participants will analyze at least three protective or burdened parts (e.g., Perfectionist, Inner Critic, Caretaker) and identify one stress-related behavioral pattern associated with each part.
  3. Participants will demonstrate one IFS-informed mindfulness or Self-to-part dialogue practice and document two observable emotional or attitudinal shifts related to improved self-regulation.
  4. Participants will explain two mechanisms by which reframing self-care as an internal relational process reduces burnout and strengthens clinician resilience.
  5. Participants will apply two IFS-based interventions (e.g., unblending, Self-to-part dialogue) to a clinician self-care plan or client treatment plan and evaluate impact using one reflective outcome measure.

Course Description

Sacred Space for the Healer: EMDR & Evidence-Based Practices to Prevent Burnout and Heal Vicarious Trauma

When do you notice yourself needing to reconnect with compassion in order to keep doing this work without burning out?

When therapists gather in clinical consultation, reflection, and shared learning, we create a sacred space—not only to deepen clinical mastery, but to reconnect with our deepest humanity. In these moments of genuine connection, we remember that we are human first and healers second. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it is an act of courage, humility, and integrity.

This continuing education program invites mental and behavioral health professionals—especially those working in trauma-exposed settings—to explore the neurobiology of emotional regulation, resilience, and renewal through an integrative framework that weaves together EMDR Therapy Phases 1 and 2, trauma-informed care, transpersonal psychology, and spiritually integrated practices. Drawing from neuroscience, eco-therapy, somatic therapies, and other evidence-based interventions, the program helps clinicians recognize and address burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and secondary traumatic stress in themselves and in their work.

Grounded in core principles of trauma-informed care and a commitment to sustainable success in all areas of life, this training supports participants in moving beyond traditional “resourcing” tools into practices that genuinely restore and regulate the nervous system. Participants will develop personalized, EMDR-informed, nature-based, and spiritually integrated strategies that support a shift from survival to restoration. Through clinical applications, somatic movement, mindfulness, ritual, and gratitude-based reflection, participants will deepen their capacity for therapeutic presence and regulation. They will also explore ways to enter a present-centered state and begin to craft a practical professional wellness plan to sustain this renewal beyond the training.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this continuing education program, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe at least three distinguishing clinical indicators of burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and secondary traumatic stress in helping professionals.
  2. Identify at least four core principles of trauma-informed care and cite at least two professional ethical standards related to clinician self-care, impairment prevention, and culturally responsive, spiritually integrated practice.
  3. Explain at least two neurobiological or psychosocial mechanisms that contribute to stress activation and resilience in trauma-exposed clinicians.
  4. Demonstrate at least three evidence-based regulation strategies (e.g., EMDR Phase 2 resourcing skills, somatic or nature-based practices, and spiritually integrated or meaning-making exercises) and synthesize them into a brief, written, trauma-informed self-care and professional wellness plan.
