    Great presenter and her NDIT program is fantastic. It takes all the neuroscience based interventions I've been using, and more, and added a memory integration method that isn't as abrupt as EMDR. Having been through EMDR treatment, myself, I wish I had had access to this method as a PTSD client. I'm so happy to be able to offer this as a practitioner.

    Dr. Sweeton gave not only a comprehensive look at the processes within EMDR, she also gave a lot lot of comparisons to other types of therapy outside of EMDR. She helped me better understand where EMDR stands, in general. I "feel" interventions better qnd more intuitively after Dr. Sweeton explains them because she really gets to the jelly of why/how things work. I did leave the training feeling like I needed more time to figure out where to start in terms of reviewing all of the information and handouts she gave, but I think that is a side effect of getting so much great info 🙂

    Dr. Sweet is an amazing presentor. She spoke for 6 hours without ever seeming to need a note even though every minute was packed with useful information for anyone dealing with trauma. She integrated neuroscience skillfully with her clinical applications. I thought she handled questions effectively as well because she paused about every 45 minutes to answer questions she thought would be applicable to the majority of attendees. I could not recommend her more. I would, however, recommend that you download her slides before beginning. This would have allowed me to take notes on what wasn't on a particular slide and I would have relaxed more. Alot of great, applicable material.

I really appreciated how she was relaxed about how she does it, telling what has worked for her, and being OK with not being an EMDR purist. This is one of the few trainings I have attended that I will probably rewatch. Good and practical information.

Not only did she explain the complex interrelationships of the brain and how it is affected by prolonged trauma exposure but she also demonstrated and gave us practical techniques to help heal each of these areas of the brain. This knowledge has greatly enhanced my counseling practice results.

    Perfect balance of theory and application (heavier on application, thank GOD!) Dr. Sweeton is a natural born educator and therapist. So rare to find someone with this balance of skills. Everything was digestible, applicable, generous, and not overwhelming. So nice to have the neuro and evidence based research to back up these methods for psychoeducation with clients. Would recommend to ANYONE! 🙂

    I completed Dr. Jennifer Sweeton's 2-Day Intensive Trauma Treatment Certification Workshop webinar. The first day Dr. Sweeton provided education on the brain and how it functions. She broke the information down into understandable parts. Dr. Sweeton made more sense of the brain parts and functions than any training I have attended over the past 25 years. She provides slides that are not only informative, but hold your atttention. On the second day, Dr. Sweeton provided education and instruction on actual treatment techniques. I enjoyed and appreciated this information the most. Rarely have I attended a seminar where attendees are given education and guidance on actual treatment techniques along with handouts to use in treatment. It is evident she put a lot of time and attention into this well organized webinar. It was well worth my time and money. I would recommend it to anyone who works with clients who are struggling with trauma related issues.

In particular, how she teaches different strategies for bottom-up vs top-down strategies to heal is a total game changer.

    Just attended a two day seminar taught by Dr. Sweeton. I had not heard of her before but I am so impressed by her teaching and the amount of information I have learned and can use right away. I have learned so many times about the parts of the brain but I felt like this time it really connected and made sense. She has a nice balance of science and practical tips.

    Completed a 2 day Intensive Trauma Treatment webinar with Dr. Sweeton. The information was top notch, and while I fully expected 16 hours of straight Zoom to be miserable, it was not, at all. As a clinician, it was extremely helpful and I really appreciated the neuroscience background. I Fully expect to use all of this information in my practice.I have one complaint, and it's a small one, and is probably less of an actual big deal than how it sat with me. Its less of a complain actually and more feedback, I guess. I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker - so, I am independent clinician. I assume that there are a number of us viewing this webinar. A few times throughout the webinar Dr. Sweeton mentioned using social workers in her work, but the implication appeared to be that social workers are for resource location, immediate action plans, etc. While this is certainly true for some of us, and we all do a little bit of it, it just sat a little strange for me, as a LARGE portion of us are independent clinicians who do the clinical work, just as a psychologist would (with the obvious exception of psychometric testing).Again. That's a very small thing, and not really criticism, just feedback. The information was great, the powerpoint was well done and the delivery was good as well. I would definitely do another webinar with her.

I'm a Clinical Social Worker and I found this training to be well-rounded with a mixture of empirical research, Neuroscience, and practice examples. I was never board during this training, even with completing it as webinar. Jennifer was engaging and did a great job of holding my attention over this 2-day training.

    Hello. I took the 2 day EMDR with Dr. Jennifer Sweeton. Before I took the course, I was very skeptical. I mean, you see a lot of materials out there about it. I finally decided to take it and I'm so glad I did. Dr. Sweeton is a great speaker and teacher. For someone like me (I admit- I'm a bit shy), I was able to receive the instruction along with all of these people- and I didnt feel like I was going to mess it up. Plus, I felt that if I did mess it up, then Dr. Sweeton would be right there to help. What an experience... one of the best trainings I have ever been to.

    I have attended 3 workshops taught by Dr. Sweeton - and my recommendation could not be higher. Her ability to synthesize the more complex aspects of brain physiology, emotional complexities and cognitive processes - and then present it at such a "kitchen table" conversational language is truly gifted.Also, the various "helps" she teaches us allow us to bring to our clients (alongside talk-therapy) truly beneficial results in their day-to-day emotional lives.I strongly recommend two things that have been of great help to me; enroll in her monthly subscription offering AND take advantage of many of her seminars. As a bonus, Dr. Sweeton is quite generous in allowing us to use her own printed materials - which have been very beneficial in informing clients exactly what steps we are taking where we are headed.This high endorsement comes from someone who has spent nearly 30 years of study, training and experience in seeking to be beneficial to others in moving toward greater emotional well-being.Kevin Haley

    I learned a lot at Dr. Sweeton's Trauma Treatment Toolbox presentation (Stormont Vail 11/22/2019). One of the things I appreciate most is her presentation style which provides in-depth understanding of neuroscience for non-scientists. This allowed me to come away with language that I can share with clients about how and why the various trauma treatments work. This is very helpful for encouraging compliance with exercises they should do at home, on their own. Dr. Sweeton's presentation was thorough and gave many treatment interventions that I can use NOW with clients.

I would definitely attend future workshops or presentations by Dr. Sweeton.

    I attended Jennifer Sweeton's 3-day EMDR Certification Course and learned SO much. EMDR went from being an illusive hard-to-grasp treatment to something I now understand and feel comfortable using with clients. Thanks so much, Jennifer!

    Jennifer Sweeton's EMDR training was outstanding! She is very knowledgeable and very natural and she makes it fun and engaging! I have been a therapist for almost 20 years and how she presented EMDR and incorporated science with therapy makes me excited for my clients. As a therapist ,Ifeel and think that this is exactly what I've been waiting for and Jennifer Sweeton's enthusiasm and knowledge made this possible! I recommend going to Jennifer Sweeton's EMDR training at least once in your professional life.

    I just completed the 2 day EMDR Certificate Course with Dr. Sweeton. It was very thorough, well paced and explained complex brain functions and the 8 phase protocol very effectively. I was trained in EMDR 15 years ago (part I) and never completed part II b/c the population I worked with was so unstable and I feared doing harm.This course was an exceptional review for me and has given me confidence to move forward with EMDR in my work, even with very challenging ED children. Thank you Dr. Sweeton!

    I just finished the last day of a three day training. It was fabulous, never done anything with EMDR before. I found it easy to follow the presentation material and Dr Sweeton was easy to learn from. It apparent she is an expert in her field. I would highly recommend attending one of her trainings.

    I attended the Neuroscience for Clinicians seminar taught by Dr. Sweeton and I was extremely grateful for the information I learned from her. The information naturally can be complex and complicated but Dr. Sweeton explained it in a understandable way, and in a format that progressively built on top of past information. Learning about brain structures and how it impacts therapy, diagnoses, treatment, and conceptualization was very helpful and added to my interest and appreciation of this field to the therapy process. I would definitely recommend the seminar to anyone interested.

    Dr Jennifer Sweeton's 2 day EMDR training is amazing. Dr Sweeton's inclusion of the neuroscience behind trauma and EMDR was a great addition to the general EMDR training. I would highly recommend Dr Sweeton as a trainer and will definitely be attending more of her training's in the future.

    I attended Dr. Sweeton's 3 day EMDR training through PESI, and I really learned a lot from it. She explained everything very clearly, and incorporated plenty of time for questions. The pacing of the seminar was really well done, and never felt rushed or overly drawn out.

    Excellent presenter. Information well laid out. What I think was the best though was her willingness to take and completely respond to questions in a positive way. She presented the intricacies and the neurology of EMDR well.

    I attended " Building a resilient brain" in Brisbane on 2nd August 2019.Jennifer is truly an inspiration! I learned a lot on the day and came out wanting to run a resilience group at work ( mental health rehab setting).She really knows her stuff and no question was left unanswered. Without any hesitation I recommend this workshop to any mental health professional. I'm an OT and it was definitely worth it!

    Attended Jennifer Sweeton's webinar, "Neuroscience for Clinicians, Brain Change for Stress, Anxiety, Trauma, Moods and Substance Abuse. Although this was an all day webinar I found the presentation to be quite informative, providing me with much knowledge about brain function,, symptoms and treatment measures that I did not previously possess. She also provided information that validated measures I was already utilizing. An all day webinar has the potential to being taxing but I found that Dr. Sweeton's manner of presentation and focus on connecting brain functions to clinical relevance held my interest and attention throughout. This webinar certainly met and exceeded my expectations and left me with new ideas to use in treatment.

    Psycho-therapy is filled with quack-practitioners, so it was incredibly uplifting to be taught EMDR by a true scientist, one who is able to elucidate the subject matter by explaining the scientific rationale behind each element of the therapeutic process. After all, the best way to learn a new topic is to understand it! Dr. Sweeton is a fast-paced and articulate lecturer, and I feel my investment was money very well spent. She has my highest recommendation.

    I recently attended Dr. Sweeton's training in Buffalo and it was excellent. It was the best training I have ever attended, extremely helpful to my practice, and her knowledge is exceptional. I highly recommend that if you have an opportunity to attend one of her trainings it would be invaluable especially for social workers/counselors dealing with clients that have a trauma history however the information can be applied with all clients.

    I just completed the three-day EMDR intensive with Dr. Sweeton. I am deeply appreciative of what I received, including the valuable practice sessions applying EMD and EMDR. I have had a couple of EMDR trainings prior to this, and while they were helpful, this was by far the most helpful. The first day presentation on neuroscience was excellent context for the components of EMDR practices. Dr. Sweeton was very generous in terms of helpful materials. My EMDR competence took a definitive step forward.

    HIGHLY recommended! If you're a mental health clinician who works in the field of trauma treatment or eating disorders, I highly recommend you receive ANY of Dr. Sweeton's trainings that you can. I received EMDR training from her and it was top-notch! There are many trainers with whom you could contract for EMDR training, but her educational background gives her a far 'deeper bench' of knowledge, and it SHOWS. (She holds a Doctoral degree from Stanford Med. School, studies in behavioral genetics from Harvard Med, an additional Masters' in affective neuroscience (also, Stanford), and a stint at the National Center for PTSD.) Though neuroscience is her passion, don't, however, think that she'll talk in 'jargon.' She explains the science behind the therapeutic interventions in a way that any clinician can understand! Furthermore, she does so without watering down concepts-- which is quite a feat. At the end of the first day, I overheard several clinicians remark that Dr. Sweeton was the first trainer they had who could explain the neuroscience of trauma & healing in a manner they could understand. Several said that they now felt empowered to teach about the psychobiology of trauma and recovery with their clientele! If you are seeking a source of excellent, professional-level training, Dr. Sweeton's courses should be your first choice.

    I have been wanting to take an EMDR course for quite some time to use with my counseling clients who have experienced trauma and abuse. I could not have chosen a better introduction. Jennifer Sweeton went into depth on the neuroscience as well as the protocols, covered the nuances, and gave insightful and attuned feedback. Practice opportunities were well conducted. Her passion, compassion, knowledge, and relatability made what could potentially be a heavy topic into something manageable and exciting to learn. I definitely feel prepared to begin using EMDR with my clients in the near future.

Her approaches are practical, efficient, and simple and her many worksheets and handouts helped me to put my training to use immediately.

    I attended Dr. Sweeton's seminar, Neuroscience for Clinicians: Brain Change for Stress, Anxiety, Trauma, Moods and Substance Abuse. She was fabulous. I have attended neuroscience-type seminars in the past and gained a spotty understanding of the material but Dr. Sweeton presented the information with such clarity, I felt I had an immediate understanding of brain structures and the role they play in many psychological disorders. It undergirds the theory and practice of counseling and therapy. I feel I have many more tools in my toolbox for the work I do with college students with disabilities. I HIGHLY recommend attending her presentations; I hope to have the opportunity to do so again. Melissa Scarfone

    I attended "Neuroscience for Clinicians" in Timonium, Maryland on Friday, March 1, 2019. This was an OUTSTANDING presentation and I would highly recommend it for anyone working with people and/or groups therapeutically, nurses, and others who would benefit for this information. As a Licensed Clinical Therapist, LCSW-C, the information was "on-time" and pertinent to my scope of practice. While clinical in nature, the course was also taught in an easy to understand framework and questions were welcomed throughout the seminar. Great course!

    I just completed a training on Neuroscience with Dr Sweeton at Arlington, VA. I enjoyed it very much, not just for the updated information but for her knowledge and willingness to share it with the participants. I highly recommend this training to professionals who want to bring something tangible to their practice. The knowledge is applicable and brings a different perspective on depression, anxiety, trauma, anger and other presentations we as clinicians see on a day to day.

    I attended Dr. Sweeton's Neuroscience for the Modern Clinician training and was very pleased! She tied together research, training and real-life experience in order to show the powers of neuroscience in action. The focus on mindfulness tools was also very helpful given my department's strategic plan over the past few years has been to increase the understanding and use of mindfulness throughout our setting.

    My Colleagues and I attended Jennifer's training on Neuroscience and the Modern Clinician. We have been studying and learning a great deal about Neuroscience and Trauma but were so excited at how comprehensive and clearly Jennifer was able to present this valuable information. She added greatly to our understanding and provided us with take away techniques to assist clients, immediately. Her understanding of the field and ability to explain it was excellent. I hated to get up and leave for a rest room break in fear I'd miss something! I would attend this training again because it was so valuable and so filled with current information that I could not retain every bit:)
