“I think it takes a lot of passion to teach at the level that you all did in this course. I have taken countless trainings in my career regarding different psychotherapies and I can honestly say I have never left a course feeling as prepared to practice therapy as I do now with EMDR. I know I still have a lot of work to do, but the foundation I got from this training was valuable and complete You are all amazing teachers, and I want to thank you.”

“The consultation and the practicum are necessary: it helps us integrate all the knowledge and be more effective. EMDR transformed my vision of how I address the problems that pain patients and couples. Its opened another dimension of intervention and skills. In a time where there is so much pain, we have the honor and the opportunity to help our people to heal. “

“I took my first EMDR basic training with another agency in 2017 and for second time in 2018. Although I’m grateful and I learned a lot in both, here are some points why I believe that Be the Change EMDR basic training is more tailored for Puerto Rico population: 1) BTC makes more of an emphasis on window of tolerance,2) BTC makes more emphasis on dissociation and explain more details of the signs of dissociation and the needs to do grounding with our clients. In PR we have a lot of dissociation and we shouldn’t reprocess while the client is dissociative (out of his window of tolerance). 3) In PR we have a lot of complex trauma and most of our clients are not ready to do a float back in their first sessions and sometimes takes months before we are able to do a float back. BTC explains very well. BTC teach us that during phases 3-6 we can’t say “go with that” to everything that the client report and we need to contain others memories.”

“Thank you for putting it all together and guidance from you has been very important this weekend. It has made a great difference. At first, I was not sure of how this would work virtually and how effective it would be. But I have to say that it has been not only helpful, but I feel satisfied. I could sense, feel the caring, effort and love you put in this as a teacher as well as the commitment. God bless you! Please keep it up and know that you can count on me full. “
“I can say that I found what I was looking for professionally/personally in order for me to give more and provide for my patients holistically integrated needs. Prayers answered. Finally, I had the opportunity to take this training in the right and perfect moment . I wanted to be with the best, as my people need the best care… I’m happy and satisfied to say that I was not wrong. Thank you! We are blessed to have you on our team.”
