IFS-Informed EMDR Workshops for Therapists. Paving the way for transformative healing experiences.

10/23/2026

If integrating IFS into your EMDR has been on your list for 2026, this is the last cohort to do it before the year closes.

Step Two is the core of the Syzygy Model™: you learn to treat protectors as primary EMDR targets, measure a protector's urge with the LUP™ scale and Self's engagement with the POS™ scale, and build an IFS-informed Assessment Phase - all inside EMDR's eight phases. It's the training for the clients who loop, dissociate, or push back the moment you select a target.

Two live days, 13 CE credits (EMDRIA, ASWB, NBCC, APA). Requires Step 1 or IFS Level 1. Dec 10-11, online. Register at syzygyinstitute.com.

10/21/2026

You can't teach an integration well if you only know half of it. So every Syzygy Institute™ workshop is led by an instructor who has completed IFS training and certification through the IFS Institute and is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant.

That double credential is the whole point. Your trainer has lived in both models deeply enough to hold their fidelity while showing you where they interlock - and can speak to your real cases from the consultant's chair, not just the lecturer's.

When you're deciding where to learn something this precise, who's teaching it matters as much as what's taught. Meet the trainers at syzygyinstitute.com.

Step Two teaches you to work with a blended protector. Step Three - the last cohort of 2026 - takes that same process all the way through healing: desensitization, retrieval, and unburdening.

Discovery & Beyond is the capstone: 13 live hours going deeper into the Discovery process, in Direct Access conditions, with fuller integration of Coherence Therapy and memory reconsolidation. It's where "the protector stepped back" becomes "the system actually healed."

Nov 12-13, online, 13 CE credits. Requires completion of Step Two. Register at syzygyinstitute.com.

Coherence Therapy starts from a striking premise: the symptom isn't a malfunction. It's produced by an emotional learning that, in its original context, made complete sense. The client isn't broken - a part of them is faithfully running an old, adaptive solution.

That reframe is doing quiet work all through IFS-Informed EMDR. When you assume a protector's behavior is coherent, you stop trying to argue it away and start trying to understand the truth it's holding. Uncover that truth, then let it meet a contradicting experience, and you've set up exactly the conditions memory reconsolidation needs.

"Why would a reasonable system do this?" is a better clinical question than "how do I stop it?"

10/14/2026

Step Two assumes you can actually work with parts and Self, not just define them. Step One is where that becomes real - and Nov 5-6 is the final Step One cohort of the year.

Two live, experiential days in the fundamentals: the types of parts, the healing power of Self-energy, the Self-to-part relationship, working with blended parts. Live demonstrations, then small-group practice where you run the process yourself. No prior IFS training required, and non-EMDR therapists are welcome.

If you want to be ready for Step Two early in 2027, this is the on-ramp. Two days, 13 CE credits. Nov 5-6, online. Register at syzygyinstitute.com.

There's a reason our trainings are experiential. You can read about unblending a part; feeling it happen in a practice triad, with a guide beside you, is a different kind of learning - and it tends to be the kind that shows up in your next session.

In-person adds another layer of that: the side conversations, the shared repair when a demo gets real, the community you keep afterward. We're bringing Step One: Intro to IFS to Scottsdale, Arizona on Jan 29-30, 2027 - about 15 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor, and a warm place to be in January.

In-person seats are limited and travel is easier to plan early. Details at syzygyinstitute.com.

Finishing the training builds your skill. Certification makes it legible to everyone else.

Syzygy Institute™ offers two credentials: the IFS-Informed EMDR Certified Therapist (IIE-CT™) for clinicians practicing the model, and the IFS-Informed EMDR Approved Consultant (IIE-AC™) for those ready to guide other therapists through it. They're a clear signal to referring clinicians and to complex-trauma clients that you've done the full, structured work - not a weekend's exposure to it.

It's also how the community grows its next layer of consultants. If you're already on the path, certification is how you plant a flag in it. Learn more at syzygyinstitute.com.

09/25/2026

When you train with Syzygy, you're learning from the clinicians shaping this integration in the field - not a secondhand version of it.

Syzygy Institute™ founders and trainers co-authored chapters in "IFS-Informed EMDR: Creative and Collaborative Approaches" (Routledge), a professional volume on integrating parts work with EMDR. The same people developing and teaching the Syzygy Model™ are contributing to the literature the wider field is reading - so the training and the writing come from one source, not two.

That's worth weighing when you choose where to train. Some programs pass along someone else's model. Here, you're learning it from the people putting it in print for everyone else.

Processing is moving, and then it isn't - the SUD sticks, the client loops, something braces. The reflex is to run more sets and hope momentum returns.

IFS-Informed EMDR offers a cleaner move: recognize that a protector has come forward, and shift the target from the exile to the protector right there in the Desensitization Phase, using IFS interweaves and the model's scales. You're not abandoning the trauma work - you're addressing the part that just blocked it, so the work can resume with permission instead of force.

A stall isn't a signal to push. It's a signal that the target changed.

09/21/2026

Step Two is the core of the Syzygy Model™ - where IFS and EMDR stop being two separate skill sets and become one integrated protocol.

Across two live days you learn to treat protectors as primary EMDR targets, measure a protector's urge with the LUP™ scale and Self's engagement with the POS™ scale, and build an IFS-informed Assessment Phase - all inside EMDR's eight phases. It's designed for the clients who loop, dissociate, or throw protector backlash the moment you pick a target.

Two days, 13 CE credits. Oct 22-23 (with a December cohort also open). Requires Step 1 or IFS Level 1. Register at syzygyinstitute.com.
