Workshops, Talks & Training


Clear, Grounded Teaching on Trauma, Parenting, EMDR, and Adoption

I started teaching in 2005 and have not stopped. What I bring to a room is twenty years of clinical work and a clear, grounded way of making it usable.

Wendy Sue Horn, EMDRIA-approved EMDR trainer and consultant specializing in complex trauma, dissociation, adoption competence, and EMDR therapy.

Meet The Clinician Behind EMDR Resource Center

Wendy Sue Horn is an EMDRIA-approved trainer, consultant, and clinician with over twenty years treating children, adolescents, adults, and parents in private and public settings. She teaches from a social justice and anti-oppressive lens because that is how she practices, not as an add-on.

Clinicians who train with Wendy Sue leave more organized, more prepared, and clearer about their own clinical thinking.

What I Speak About

I teach from clinical experience, not theory alone. Every talk and workshop is built around what the people in the room are actually navigating.

Parental Self-Regulation

What gets in the way of staying grounded as a parent and what it actually takes to come back to yourself in hard moments.

Family-Centered Birth

How parents can advocate for themselves, stay connected, and navigate medical settings with more confidence and steadiness.

Finding Your Parenting Voice

Helping parents trust their instincts, communicate with more clarity, and feel more grounded in their role.

Postpartum Mental Health

The emotional reality of early parenthood. What is normal, what needs attention, and how to get the right support.

20+ Years in Practice

“After training in EMDR under Wendy Sue, I became extremely confident in working with trauma.

Wendy Sue Horn is hands down the most knowledgeable, down to earth, enthusiastic, savvy trainer I have yet the pleasure to learn from. After training in EMDR under Wendy Sue, I became extremely confident in working with trauma and now specialize in working CPTSD. I knew learning EMDR would change my practice, but it wasn’t until I started training under Wendy Sue that I learned how much it would change how I worked with and understood all of my clients. As a clinician, this has been the most effective and practice changing modality I’ve ever learned.
