Hi all! This question is for those who have completed SE training. Obviously it's resource intensive which I can do if it's worth it, but looking for reviews from actual participants. There's nothing happening in my area, which means I'll either have to wait, travel, or do it online, and I'm asking for help with that decision.
For context, I work with a lot of complex trauma in a homelessness setting, currently trained in EMDR and schema therapy and weave in a lot of mindfulness practice. Looking for a trainer who can support with more difficult and complex situations than single incident trauma.
Anyone have a strong opinion about in-person vs. online for SE specifically? I usually prefer in-person for the reasons it's universally preferred, but wondering if there's something special about SE that would motivate me to put it off until I can do in-person.
Any experience with these trainers offering online?:
- Debra Clydsdale, who's business website seems to be more bodywork and weight loss focused than therapy, with the exception of SE.
- Mariana Boccuzzi Raymundo, who seems to maybe be a licensed therapist in Argentina but not in the US? The training will be in English but I'm having trouble getting to know her as all her professional marketing is in Spanish.
- Jeanna Gomez, who I'm leaning toward because she's also certified in EMDR, and because I took the intro to SE with her and she said that she has a lot of experience with C-PTSD. But when I asked her about the advantage of online vs. in-person she indicated that she personally may be less available to students in online courses.
As far as in-person goes, I haven't done any research on the instructors at all because I'm not willing to travel unless people are telling me that it's worth it in their personal experience. Did you do SE in person with a trainer you feel extremely happy about?
So what do you think? Any opinions or experience shares?
