Free 6-Hour Live EMDR Trauma Masterclass
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026 @ 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM ET
You're Using EMDR — But Are Your Trauma Clients Still Freezing, Collapsing & Shutting Down Mid-Session?
Free Masterclass With Linda Curran, EMDR-C: Evergreen-Certified EMDR Specialist & Trauma Neuroscience Trainer
Trauma doesn't live in the mind. It lives in the nervous system — and talk therapy alone can't reach it. This 6-hour Masterclass gives you the neuroscience behind freeze, collapse and shutdown so you know exactly when the nervous system is ready for EMDR processing to begin.

What 6 Hours With Linda Curran Covers That Talk Therapy Cannot
EMDR Trauma Masterclass: The Neuroscience Behind Why The Body Holds Trauma
MODULE 1
The Biological Nature of Trauma: What Your Client's Body Is Actually Doing
Why trauma creates physical & psychological symptoms that talk therapy alone cannot resolve
MODULE 2
Polyvagal Theory: The Nervous System Framework Behind Every Trauma Response
How understanding autonomic states changes every clinical decision you make with trauma clients
MODULE 3
Freeze vs. Collapse: The Difference Between Sympathetic & Dorsal Vagal Shutdown
Why does misreading these two states lead to interventions that push dysregulated clients further from regulation
MODULE 4
Normal, Prolonged, Complex & Developmental Trauma: Four Presentations, Four Clinical Paths
How identifying the right trauma type stops you from applying a single-incident protocol to a complex trauma nervous system
MODULE 5
Hyperarousal, Dissociation & Affect Dysregulation: Reading What the Body Is Telling You
How to spot the clinical implications of trauma symptomology before they derail the session
MODULE 6
Body Memories, Flashbacks & the Freeze Response: The Somatic Layer Talk Therapy Misses
Why trauma stored in the body requires a different clinical approach & how this Masterclass builds that foundation
Learn the Neuroscience of Trauma & EMDR From a Clinician Who Has Spent Decades in the Room With Complex Trauma
Linda Curran, BCPC, LPC, EMDR-C — Level II EMDR Practitioner & National Trauma Trainer
Linda Curran didn't start as an EMDR believer. She was skeptical until she sat in the client chair & experienced firsthand what bilateral stimulation does to a nervous system carrying unprocessed trauma. That shift changed everything about how she teaches it. What she brings to the June 3rd Masterclass isn't theory, it's the clinical framework built after decades treating PTSD, complex trauma, attachment wounds & dissociation in real clients whose cases wouldn't move until their nervous system was actually reached.
What she covers on June 3rd is the exact foundation that makes EMDR work, why the brain stores trauma differently than ordinary memory, how the autonomic nervous system gets locked in freeze, collapse & shutdown, & what Polyvagal Theory reveals about every dysregulated client sitting across from you. This is the layer that standard trauma training was never designed to address & the one that changes how you read every complex trauma case from this point forward.
Here's What Changes When You Can Read the Nervous System Mid-Session
WITH THIS MASTERCLASS:
You know exactly why clients freeze, collapse & shut down & what to do about it
Stuck complex trauma cases finally have a neurobiological explanation & a clinical path
Treatment decisions are driven by nervous system state not just the diagnosis
You walk in with the foundational framework EMDR is built on
WITHOUT THIS MASTERCLASS:
Freeze & dissociation keep getting misread as resistance
Your most stuck CPTSD case stays stuck, no explanation, no path
Treatment plans address symptoms while the nervous system goes untouched
Every PTSD & CPTSD case repeats the same cycle
9 CE credits & lifetime replay available For Purchase after registration
Frequently Asked Questions
How many CEs do I receive & what does it cost?
The Masterclass is completely free to attend live. After registration, you will have the option to upgrade to 9 board-approved CEs plus lifetime recording access for $67 before the Masterclass begins. You can purchase CEs at the next step once you register.
Can I get the recording if I cannot attend live?
Yes. Lifetime recording access is included with the VIP upgrade. If you cannot attend June 3rd live, the recording gives you everything Linda Curran covers: every neuroscience framework, every Polyvagal Theory application, every clinical decision point around freeze, collapse & shutdown available permanently on your own schedule.
Do I receive CEs just for attending live?
No. CEs are available for purchase at the next step after registration. Attending the live Masterclass is free. The CE upgrade at $67 gives you 9 board-approved CEs plus lifetime recording access.
I primarily work with PTSD & anxiety. Is this relevant to my practice?
Yes. The neuroscience frameworks covered in this Masterclass apply directly to every PTSD, CPTSD & anxiety presentation not just complex or treatment-resistant cases. Clients carrying mild-to-moderate trauma symptoms can present with autonomic dysregulation, freeze responses & affect dysregulation that standard assessment misses entirely. This Masterclass gives you the clinical lens to identify it regardless of where the case sits on the severity spectrum.
I have attended trauma trainings before & found them too theoretical to apply in session. How is this different?
Linda Curran has spent decades treating PTSD, complex trauma & attachment wounds in real clinical settings — not just teaching about them. Every framework she covers on June 3rd is taught with the specific clinical decision points for when to apply it, why it produces a more complete picture than the alternative, & what changes in the treatment approach when it does. You leave with a clinical framework — not a lecture.
Are the CEs board-approved for my license?
Yes. The CEs are board-approved for LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, PsyDs & other licensed mental health professionals. Click View All Board Approvals at the end of this page to confirm your license qualifies.
Scope and Limitations Disclosure:
This training provides licensed mental health professionals with a contemporary neuroscience framework for understanding & applying the clinical relationship between trauma, the autonomic nervous system, & EMDR treatment — including the physiological mechanisms linking traumatic stress to freeze, collapse, dissociation & affect dysregulation; Polyvagal Theory as it relates to clinical treatment of traumatized clients; & somatic & body-based approaches to trauma stabilization & processing. Content should be applied within the scope of each clinician's license & professional training. This training does not offer certification & is not a substitute for clinical supervision or medical assessment. Participants are encouraged to apply content within their individual scope of practice & in accordance with applicable professional & ethical guidelines.
