Attention organizes experience.

People naturally orient their awareness in different ways. Some attend more to thoughts, others to sensations in the body, and others to what is happening in the external environment.

These patterns shape how experience is perceived and responded to in therapy.

Constructed Awareness® helps therapists notice these orientations and work with them in supportive and attuned ways.

“What are you noticing now?” In EMDR work, this question is central, and often difficult for clients to answer, especially during preparation and reprocessing.

This two-day training explores how Constructed Awareness® can support all phases of EMDR by helping clients connect more clearly with their experience.

Participants will learn how awareness of thoughts, sensations, and external perception can support preparation, processing, and integration in a more grounded and accessible way.

July 17–18
9:00–4:30 PM EST
Online
12 CE credits (EMDRIA, NBCC, ASWB)

This is an intermediate-level training open to licensed therapists and those in training. No prior EMDR training required.

There are moments in clinical work where a simple question begins to carry more weight.

“What are you noticing now?”

At times, clients may not yet have access to a clear response, and something in the process calls for a different kind of support.

This month’s Constructed Awareness® Lunch & Learn explores that space.
Integrating EMDR and Constructed Awareness® This session focuses on how awareness-based approaches can support EMDR Phases 1 and 2, with attention to client orientation and resourcing.

Led by Tyler Orr, LPC, NCC, joined by Ann Simmons, LCSW, CCAC.

Regulation emerges through contact with experience.

In many cases, people are taught to approach regulation through effort or control.

Constructed Awareness® begins with something simpler.

Contact.

Noticing what is already present within thoughts, sensations, and the environment allows experience to unfold in a different way.

From this place, regulation can begin to emerge.

There are moments in session where something begins to shift, but it does not follow a clear or predictable path.

There is no script to rely on, only the experience unfolding.

These moments often hold an invitation to stay present with what is arising and to deepen the work through awareness.

The Constructed Awareness® Consultation Group offers a space for that continued development through reflection, discussion, and shared learning.

Open to therapists at any level of CA training, as well as those who are curious about awareness-based approaches.

Second Wednesday of each month
12:00–1:30 PM EST
Online (Zoom)
$40 per session

Many therapists notice that meaningful shifts in therapy often begin with something simple. Observation.

A thought. A sensation. Something unfolding in the room.

As experience is seen more clearly, patterns that once felt automatic can begin to shift.

Constructed Awareness® explores this process.

Tomorrow, we’re gathering for our first CA Lunch & Learn. A space to explore how awareness shapes the therapeutic process through reflection, conversation, and shared clinical perspective.

Understanding the Three Principles of Constructed Awareness®

This event is free to attend and includes 1 CE credit (NBCC & ASWB).
