Healing and Flourishing with EMDR – Level 2
An EMDR-Based Consciousness Expansion Program
Program Description
Healing and Flourishing with EMDR – Level 2 is an advanced, experiential 10-module program designed to deepen and expand the work begun in Level 1. This program integrates the EMDR therapy protocol with David R. Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness, offering a structured yet deeply transformative pathway toward emotional freedom, vitality, and purposeful living.
While Level 1 focused on healing and stabilization, Level 2 focuses on removing inner emotional blockages and updating outdated mental and emotional programs that limit flourishing across key life domains. Using EMDR-informed processing, bilateral stimulation, resourcing, and consciousness-based inquiry, participants are guided to release unresolved emotional imprints and align with higher states of awareness such as Courage, Willingness, Acceptance, Love, Joy, and Peace.
This program supports participants in:
Releasing emotional and somatic blocks that keep consciousness “stuck”
Re-patterning beliefs and internal narratives for successful, fulfilling living
Strengthening nervous system regulation and emotional resilience
Living and working from purpose, joy, and inner coherence
Each 90-minute session combines psychoeducation, experiential EMDR exercises, reflective inquiry, and guided integration practices, creating a safe, structured, and growth-oriented environment.
