Friday, May 8, 2026 from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm
We have an exciting training coming up in May at Buckfast Abbey,
Devon, hosted by Sandra Manning on the use of music with EMDR. Open to
all- no need to be musically trained!
Music
is fast emerging as a powerful agent in the current therapeutic
zeitgeist. With ongoing research into the integration of EMDR and music
in Canada and Israel—and one study already published (Grifani et al.,
2023)—this workshop will explore how music can enrich the therapeutic
relationship, act as a co-therapist, and help clients feel more
resourced and connected throughout all phases of EMDR.
Rooted
in her background as an opera singer and with 15 years of training and
clinical psychotherapy—including an MA in Integrative Arts
Psychotherapy, an MSc in Adolescent Psychotherapy, and training in the
Guided Imagery and Music Continuum—Cassandra has developed the
EMDR+Music Integrated Model: a practice that fuses intuitive, creative
process with the clinical rigour of EMDR.
In this workshop you will:
* Learn about the integration of music into all phases of EMDR• Explore the use of music as an interweave in EMDR Phases 4–6
• Supported by neuroscientific evidence, gain insight into how music can enhance the AIP
* Witness excerpts from authentic EMDR+Music client sessions
• Engage in valuable group-wide experiential learning
•
Receive an introduction to music selection skills—including
collaboration, therapist intuition, and consideration of neurodivergency
and cultural awareness
• Learn about the risk/challenge interface when using music in EMDR
Discuss practical strategies for managing the technical challenges of using music in EMDR
If
you’re a fully trained EMDR practitioner curious about how music can
augment your practice, this workshop offers a fresh perspective on the
use of music as a collaborative partner in EMDR.
